Bentley to revive the hardcore Continental Supersports?

Bentley is working on a hardcore version of the Continental GT. The latest spy images have revealed a prototype with a wild body kit, which has led to speculations about a new Supersports being on the horizon.

The Supersports has been the flagship variant of the Continental. The second generation was introduced in 2017 before it was discontinued a year later.

The latest iteration of the Continental Supersports will be based on the fourth-generation model. Spy images reveal familiar design elements, including the reprofiled headlamps with integrated DRLs, the wider grille and the sleek oval taillights.

Coming to the upgrades, the new Continental Supersports is likely to feature a more aggressive front bumper with small dive planes and a more prominent splitter. It has quad exhausts and a massive spoiler at the back.

Technical details of the new extreme Continental are still unclear. It will most likely be powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, paired with a plug-in hybrid system. The same setup delivers 771 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque in the Continental GT Speed. The Supersports is expected to pack a lot more performance than that.
