2011 Bentley Continental Supersport,Reviews

The 2011 Bentley Continental Supersports gains a new convertible stablemate (reviewed separately) but the coupe returns unchanged.

The
2011 Bentley Continental Supersports seems trapped between two disparate worlds. Furthermore, it's fairly likely that the next Continental Supersports will adopt many of the 2012 Continental GT's improvements.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The
2011 Bentley Continental Supersports is a two-seat high-performance version of the Continental GT coupe that is offered in a single well-appointed trim level.
There are fewer options available on the lightweight, performance-oriented Supersports compared to the regular GT.

Powertrains and Performance
The
2011 Bentley Continental Supersports is powered by a 6.0-liter W12 that produces a whopping 621 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission are standard. In Edmunds performance testing, the Supersports hit 60 mph from a standstill in 3.8 seconds on its way to its stated top speed of 204 mph. Standard safety features for the Continental Supersports include antilock carbon-ceramic disc brakes, stability and traction control, and side curtain airbags.

Interior Design and Special Features
Seat issues aside, the Supersports' interior is as beautifully made as any other Bentley.

Driving Impressions
Tipping the scales at approximately 5,000 pounds, the
2011 Bentley Continental Supersports is no featherweight.
