Geneva 2009: Bentley launches the Continental Supersports

British-based Bentley has launched the Continental Supersports at the motor show in Geneva, which is its fastest and most powerful vehicle yet, and to add more spice, the Supersports’ W12 power plant is able to consume petrol as well as biofuel or ethanol (E85).

Mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission with Quickshift that cuts shift times by as much as 50% and enables double downshifts, the engine is fitted with sensors that monitor the petrol/biofuel mixture ratio, which then supplies data to the ECU to ensure that peak performance is always maintained, which is rated at 621HP and a remarkable 800Nm of torque.

    A “Bently Continental Supersports”…? Well, my personal point of view: it does not ‘look’ sporty enough…
