Bentley Unveils Continental GT Supersports With RWD V8 in 500-Unit Run

Orders open in March 2026, with pricing still unannounced.

Overview

  • Bentley confirms a pure-combustion, rear-wheel-drive Supersports that removes the plug-in hybrid system and all-wheel drive.
  • Bentley quotes 666 PS and 800 Nm from a reworked 4.0‑liter twin‑turbo V8, with 0–100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and a top speed near 310 km/h.
  • Around 500 kg is shaved through measures including a carbon roof, deleted rear seats and reduced sound insulation, bringing the car just under two tonnes.
  • Aero and chassis upgrades include a full carbon package with a fixed rear spoiler, 22‑inch Manthey-developed forged wheels, active dampers and carbon‑ceramic brakes (440 mm front, 410 mm rear).
  • The model is limited to 500 units, with reports differing on production and delivery timing, and press estimates suggest roughly €350,000 to about £400,000 as indicative pricing.
