2026 Bentley Supersports Continental GT

Bentley's new Supersports Continental GT is a rarity with only 500 examples of the 2026 Bentley Supersports Continental GT, but even more impressive than its exclusivity is its personality. With massive diet therapy, 657 hp and rear-wheel drive, it proves that even aristocrats can put away their tuxedos and become athletes.

This time, Bentley did something it doesn't usually dare to do: a lot of luxury simply flew out the window. 2026 Bentley Supersports Continental GT It's a two-seater, bony, rear-wheel drive machine that doesn't pretend to be a saloon prince. Its goal is very clear - to drive the driver into ecstasy.

The rawest Bentley in almost a century

Name Supersports They don't use it often. It first appeared in 1925 on a Bentley that surpassed the magical 100 mph (161 km/h). It's only returned three times since then – and each time it meant Bentley leaving its label-laden elegance behind and becoming something sharper, bolder. This time, the 2026 Supersports is that philosophy in its purest form.

An engine that wastes no time

Under the long hood of the 2026 Bentley Supersports Continental GT powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 657 hp (≈ 666 HP) and 800 Nm (≈ 590 lb-ft). Power is transmitted through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission exclusively on the rear wheels – which is almost sacrilege in Bentley’s world. Because of this layout and the drastic weight reduction – under 2,000 kg (≈ 4,400 lb) or almost 500 kg less than the regular model – the Supersports achieves brutal numbers: 0–100 km/h in approximately 3.7 seconds, maximum speed about 310 km/h (≈ 192 mph).

Carbon Surgery for Serious Athletes

Weight is the enemy. Bentley took it very personally this time. Carbon roof panel 2026 Bentley Supersports Continental GT, carbon fenders, carbon diffuser, carbon fixed wing, carbon side elements – in this car, carbon is more than a material; it is a philosophy. The interior is also more of a cage than a lounge. Two sports seats, firm materials and the feeling that the designers have removed everything that does not serve the driving.

An aerodynamic beast with an aristocratic crest

Waiting for you in front largest splitterBentley has ever bolted onto a road car. They keep him company carbon dive-plane elements, wider thresholds, aggressively designed rear diffuser and that famous one fixed rear wing, which makes it clear that this is not a GT for golf courses.

This is a Bentley that wants to go into a corner as passionately as a regular Bentley wants to go into a garage.

The Bentley Supersports Continental GT is a car that makes no apologies for its character. It's not the most luxurious Bentley. Nor does it want to be. But it is the most honest. Rear-wheel drive, low weight, lots of carbon fiber and raw sportiness give it an identity that will captivate those who want an "old-school" feel - but in a modern, upscale package.

As he drives, the aristocrat, who has taken off his tuxedo, put on his racing shoes and said, “Let’s see what I can do.”
