Bentley announced the limited production of bentley continental supersports cardiff in February 2009. The cars were unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2009 and were ready to be bought in 2009’s autumn with the exception of the North American cars which wouldn’t be available until summer 2010.
Bentley made their first models available capable of running on Petrol and Biofuel [ethanol]. They had 6 litre engines capable of 621 brake horse power using either fuel. They do 0-100 km/h in an astonishing 8.9 seconds which equates to a 0-60 in 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 204 miles per hour making it the fastest, most powerful Bentley ever.
I myself was looking to invest in one so searched for Bentley Continental Supersports in Cardiff to see what I had on offer for myself.
The Supersports are renowned for being the best handling Bentley with Bentley themselves claiming the Supersports able to deliver G Forces of 1.29g on a 300ft skid pad.
They’ve since revised the old tiptronic automatic with a new improved Quick shift system that reduces the shift times by 50% and allows double down shifts and the car also has a Torsen T3 center with a 40:60 rear favored torque division for the four wheel drive system.
Other improvements include 20 inch alloys, CDC, Pirelli Ultra High Performance tyres, ESP, C/SiC ceramic disc brakes and an automatic retractable spoiler. The US model has MSRP of an estimated $270,000 with their earlier models not being available with E85 capability until the summer of 2010 for customers in the US.
In 2010 Bentley announced that they would be making a convertible version of the Continental Supersports that went on sale in the summer of that very same year at prices starting at $280,000.
The convertible also offers new light weight 20 inch alloys that are 22lb lighter than the standard wheels. In February 2011 Bentley succeeded in breaking the land-ice speed record previously set by the Continental GT. They managed to bring a marginally adapted Supersports Convertible to 205.48 Miles per Hour in Finland, confirmed by the Guinness World Records.
