Overview
- Bentley says the “return of an iconic name” is imminent and calls the car “a rare Bentley – and one that is raring to perform,” releasing a teaser with a fixed rear spoiler, aggressive diffuser, and aero addenda.
- Multiple outlets report the model will revive the Continental Supersports name and replace the PHEV all‑wheel‑drive setup with a non‑electrified twin‑turbo 4.0‑litre V8 driving the rear wheels.
- Reporting points to output of roughly 640–650 bhp and a target kerb weight around 2,000 kg enabled by removing hybrid hardware and adding lightweight components, with a more focused chassis tune.
- Production is widely expected to be limited to a few hundred units, with pricing projected well above the standard range at around £300,000 to £400,000 or more.
- A full reveal is anticipated before the end of 2025 with deliveries from 2026, with coverage also noting Bentley’s broader moderation of earlier all‑EV timelines.
