Continental Supersports

Bentley Continental Supersports by Anderson Germany

With a 621-horsepower twin-turbo W12 engine – the most powerful Bentley has ever made – it wouldn't be easy to top the Continental Supersports. But Anderson Germany is up to the task.

The German tuning house has released a series of modifications for the ultimate Conti that brings total output up to a stratospheric 685 horsepower. But they didn't stop there. They've also completely fitted the interior, mounted the vehicle on 22-inch modular alloy wheels and given it a custom body kit. Only 300 examples of the kit will be made, which also fit the standard Continental GT, GTC and Speed models.

If you're looking for power, you need look no farther than the Bentley Continental GT and its 550 horses. Not enough? There's the Speed version with over 600 horsepower. Still not enough? Bentley's got you covered with the 620-horsepower Supersports, the fastest, most powerful model they've ever produced. But for the truly power-hungry, there's the Ultrasports 702.

Created by German tuning house Wheelsandmore, the Ultrasports 702, as you might have guessed, offers 702 horsepower on tap, along with 650 lb-ft of torque (compared to the stock Supersports' 590), coaxed out of the enormous 6-liter W12 twin-turbo by an upgrade to the engine control unit and a new exhaust system. Wheelsandmore has also fitted its package with 21-inch modular rims on Dunlop Sport Maxx tires and an electronically adjustable suspension.

Luxist Drives the Bentley Continental Supersports, Responds "Yes, please, this one."

In the superluxe world, we're used to this maneuver: add a few horsepower, shave a tenth or two, sew in a few extra threads, name your exclusive new interior color something like "Algerian Beet" and voilà, a 50-percent price premium for three-percent more car. On the surface, the Bentley Continental Supersports is a GT Speed that has gone on Biggest Loser, Extreme Makeover, and Alter Eco. But you know what they say about the proof and the pudding, so the question is whether the Supersports is a nameplate special or a genuinely higher evolution of the baller's favorite steed. We spent a day in the wilds of New Jersey and upstate New York, along with a few hours at Monticello Raceway to find out. Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to introduce you to the first Continental you can feel.

Coming Attractions: Bentley Continental GTC Supersports Spied

Really, it was only a matter of time before spy photos of the Bentley Continental GTC Supersports made the rounds. After all, there was never really any doubt that the German-owned maker of high-end luxury cars would eventually cut the top off its latest sportster, in this case powered by the most powerful production version of the automaker's 6.0-liter W12 powerplant in history.

For those that like to keep track of such things, this would be the eighth derivative of the Continental platform – the others being the GT coupe, GTC cabrio, Flying Spur sedan, Speed versions of each and the Supersports coupe. If it does indeed see the light of day, expect the GTC Supersports to boast a similar weight reduction as the coupe (243 pounds, in that case) along with carbon ceramic brakes and the deletion of the rear seats. Oh, and flex-fuel capability... at some point.

Bentley Reportedly Delays Flex-Fuel Capability for 2010 Continental Supersports

While the environmental merits of any 621 horsepower, twelve-cylinder behemoth that's capable of traveling at speeds of up to 204 miles per hour are (to say the least) debatable, Bentley hasn't exactly been shy about touting the green angle of its upcoming 2010 Continental Supersports.

Add one more black mark to the car's eco credibility as word comes by way of Green Car Advisor that U.S. laws and "engineering challenges" that include the fitment of hardened valve seats in the W12 engine mean that the first 200 Supersports imported to the United States won't actually be flex-fuel capable.

Ah well, somehow we doubt that buyers willing to plunk down the $267,000 it takes to park a twin-turbocharged Continental Supersports in their driveway will be all that concerned with pumping ethanol in the tank.
