Bentley will join the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland next week with the Bentley Continental Supersports, which is actually the most powerful and fastest Bentley ever. With a 6.0 litre twin turbocharged W12 under the hood, the new Bentley is capable of 329 km/h in terms of top speed and can sprint to the 100 km/h mark in just 3.7 seconds, thanks to a total of 621 ground cracking horse power and a remarkable 800Nm of torque which is achieved between 1,700 and 5600 revs. 1,700 revs!
That’s not all folks, the power plant which is mated to a revised ZF 6HP26 6 speed automatic transmission with ‘Quickshift’ system that cuts shift times by 50% and enables double downshifts, can be fueled with a combination of petrol and biofuel or ethanol (E85)! This brings us to the next question; will you lose power? Well, that answer is no actually.
According to the British auto maker, the engine is fitted with sensors that monitor how much gasoline and/or ethanol is being used which will allow the ECU to make sure power and torque remain constant no matter what the ratio of fuel mixture is. Fueling the 2-seater with biofuel can help reduce emissions by 70% which is a huge margin. Bentley calls this petrol/biofuel mixture system as FlexFuel.
The all wheel drive coupe with 40:60 rear biased split features up-rated front suspension with aluminium forward levers, stiffer bushes together with re-tuned anti roll bar and Servotronic steering for sharper turn-in, revised Continuous Damping Control (CDC), Advanced ESP, Standard-fit carbon-ceramic brakes, larger twin elliptical exhaust tailpipes and rear valance with discreet vertical divider and so on.
The interior is finished in a combination of Alcantara, carbon fiber and ‘Soft Touch’ leather’ with choice of Single Tone and Duo Tone combination. Fitted with unique lightweight, 20-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels, the Bentley Supersports is a crucial 110 kilograms lighter than the latest Continental GT Speed which was launched at the Detroit Motor Show.

This is actually not related to the post. But would like to enquire, how can I remove bird shit stain from my car?
The bird shit was left on my car a few days before I washed it off. Now it had left a stain on my car. The stained part appears not to be shinny anymore. C
Can anyone advise how I can remove the stain?
Thank you.
The torque characteristic defies the norm of any NA car. Sure kick ass on those high-rev machines like Honda, Ferrari and BMW.
Crazily beautiful car! But out of reach for most of us.
huhu..Brit's supercar..hmm..

you should join a car detailing forum or something.. or even meguiars malaysias detailing forum. but anyways.. if the stain is bad, you would need to polish it off.
This bentley looks better its rims are good and the body is great
If all being equal, running E85 will give you even more power if the engine management system is programed that way.
E85 is much more knock resistant (higher octane number) than regular fuel.
In fact, the Koenigsegg CCX runs on E85 and actually makes less power running regular unleaded.
Too many Bentley variations these days?
btw paul, i tot bentley conti gt got twin turbocharged W12 engine. not V12.. correct me if I'm wrong…
