Bentley unveils the 2027 Supersports, a lighter, rear-wheel-drive, 657-hp variant derived from the Continental GT with extensive aero and chassis upgrades, carbon-ceramic brakes, and a titanium Akrapovič exhaust; it ditches rear seats for a two-seater interior, and at a starting price around $490,000 all 500 units are already sold.
Bentley is producing 500 Supersports, the lightest Bentley in 85 years, by stripping rear seats and using weight-saving aero and chassis tweaks. It rides on a revised 4.0L twin-turbo V8 that makes 657 hp and 590 lb-ft, powers only the rear wheels, and is stabilized by 48V active anti-roll bars, rear-wheel steering, and an electronic limited-slip diff. With a carbon roof, a bold aero kit, and a large rear spoiler, it weighs under 4,407 lb and aims for strong track performance while remaining road-legal. The interior uses carbon bins instead of rear seats, and Bentley plans to build 500 units starting at about $486,200; two cars have been shown at Laguna Seca so far.
Bentley’s Continental GT Supersports trades elegance for thunder, packing 657 hp rear‑drive performance and a drift‑ready setup. To prove its hooligan potential, Bentley teams with Travis Pastrana for a gymkhana‑style short film, “Full Send,” filmed at Crewe with brake‑throttle software tweaks and a hydraulic handbrake. The video features Bentley heritage cameos and teases an upcoming electric SUV, while noting the new car will be rarer (500 units) and slightly less powerful than the outgoing 700‑hp W12.
