Bentley introduces Continental Supersports Convertible
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE NEW CONTINENTAL SUPERSPORTS - AT A GLANCE
The fastest, most potent drop-top Bentley ever
- 6-litre W12 engine twin-turbocharged engine produces 630PS (621bhp/463kW) at 6000 rev/min and 800Nm (590lb ft) of torque at 2000-4500 rev/min
- 0 � 60mph in 3.9 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.2 seconds)
- 0 -100mph in 9.6 seconds (0-160km/h in 9.5 seconds)
- Top speed of 202mph (325km/h)
- Overall weight saving of 90kg (198lb) versus GTC Speed
A highly focussed, extreme Bentley convertible driving experience
- Revised ZF 6HP26 transmission with �Quickshift� system that cuts shift times by 50% and enables double downshifts
- New 40/60 rear-biased torque split for the all-wheel drive system reduces understeer when powering out of bends and provides for better modulation of line and attitude by �throttle steering�
- Retuned Continuous Damping Control (CDC) system, stiffer suspension bushes and uprated rear anti-roll bar benefit body control, steering response, turn-in and balance
- Increased 50mm rear track improves grip and stability
- Lightweight, 20-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels offer 10kg (22lb) weight saving per car, reducing unsprung and rotating mass and improving brake cooling
- 275/35 ZR20 Pirelli Ultra High Performance tyres
- Advanced ESP system fully exploits potential of the most powerful W12 engine and improved chassis
- Standard-fit carbon-ceramic brakes provide fade-free braking and contribute a 20kg (44lb) reduction in rotating and unsprung mass from the front axle.
Muscular yet elegant styling with four-seat practicality
- Form follows function: distinctive centre air intake and vertical grilles feed larger volume of air (+ 10%) to turbocharger intercoolers while bonnet vents extract hot air from engine bay
- Subtly curved rear wheel arches with newly tooled side panels accommodate increased rear track of the uprated chassis and provide muscular stance
- Distinctive �smoked steel finish� to all exterior �brightware�, including the first automotive application of �Physical Vapour Deposition� to stainless steel
- Larger, twin elliptical exhaust tailpipes and rear valance with discreet vertical divider
- Fixed rear bootlid spoiler for improved aerodynamics
- Unique driver-focused, four-seat cabin
- Lightweight, carbon fibre, front sports seats, saving 45kg (99lb) per car
- Alcantara�, carbon fibre and �Soft Grip� leather provide a new interpretation of Bentley craftsmanship
