The new Bentley Supersports is the lightest Bentley since 1941, weighing less than 4,407 lbs (1,999 kg). Powered by a new 4.0 L V8 variant producing 657 hp (490 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm), it prioritizes driver engagement over raw power. Advanced chassis systems include 48 V active anti-roll bars reacting in 1/3 second, twin-valve dampers, and recalibrated air suspension across Touring, Bentley, and Sport modes. On optional Pirelli Trofeo RS tires, it corners at 1.3 Gs.

Aerodynamic enhancements feature a front splitter, winglets, carbon-fiber spoiler, and diffuser generating 661 lbs (300 kg) more downforce than the Continental GT Speed, with aero balance shifting rearward as speed increases from a 54:46 starting point. The low center of gravity, aided by a carbon-fiber roof, improves handling dynamics.

Inside, the cockpit balances aggressive carbon-fiber trim with comfortable, electrically adjusted sports seats that provide excellent lateral support during spirited driving. Despite its substantial weight, the car absorbs road inputs—including curb strikes—without compromising cabin comfort, making it a compelling blend of luxury and track capability.
