(from Bentley Press
Release) Watch the Bentley Continental Supersports fly with Derek
Bell
(Crewe, 15 July 2009) The Bentley Continental Supersports, the
fastest and most powerful car in the company's 90-year history,
received the ultimate examination of its supercar handling and
performance credentials when Le Mans racing legend and honorary
Bentley Boy Derek Bell spent the weekend driving the 621bhp
Bentley at pace during the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The muscular two-seater, which delivers a 0-60mph sprint time of
just 3.7 seconds and a maximum top speed of 204mph, produced a
series of searing runs up the Goodwood Hill with Bell regularly
pushing the car well-over the 100mph mark on a highly challenging
course renowned for its narrow road and succession of tight corners
and bends.
Designed and built at Bentleys Crewe headquarters, the Continental
Supersports combines extreme performance with the pioneering use of
FlexFuel technology in the luxury sector. The 6-litre W12
twin-turbocharged engine is capable of running on either petrol, E85
biofuel or any combination of these fuel sources.
