Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible: First look

Here are official photos and infos of the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible.

The massaged version of Bentley's W-12 engine still features twin turbos and puts down an awesome 621 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, which catapults the car from 0-60 mph in 3.9 sec all the way up to 202 mph. With 198 fewer pounds to lug around, it's no surprise that the Supersports drop top is considerably faster than the GTC Speed. Don't forget this W-12 is E85-compatible and the computers will allow you to burn any combination of E85 and gasoline with no change in performance.

Rear track width increases nearly two inches in order to keep its huge 275/35 ZR20 Pirelli tires in better contact with the road during hard driving and lightweight alloy wheels save 5.5 pounds at each corner. Further reduction to the car's rotating mass comes from the carbon-ceramic brakes that shed another 44 pounds.
