A century after the original 1925 Super Sports became the first production Bentley to crack 100 mph, the winged B is bringing the name back—for only the fourth time in history. The 2026 Supersports Continental GT Coupe is pure, unfiltered excess wrapped in carbon fiber and titanium.
Under the hood sits the familiar 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, now dialed to 657 hp and paired exclusively with rear-wheel drive. Bentley ditched all-wheel drive, the rear seats, and every unnecessary gram to get the curb weight under 2,000 kg—nearly 500 kg lighter than the standard Continental GT. The diet includes a full carbon-fiber roof, an Akrapovič titanium exhaust that saves 28 kg alone, and the most aggressive aero package ever fitted to a road-going Bentley: a front splitter the size of a coffee table, carbon dive planes, side sills, fender blades, a fixed rear wing, and 22-inch forged lightweight wheels hiding massive carbon-ceramic brakes.
The result is the fastest, most focused Bentley road car ever built. Zero to 60 arrives in a claimed 3.3 seconds, and top speed nudges 208 mph. Only 500 individually numbered examples will be handcrafted, with order books opening March 2026.
For those who believe grand touring should still feel a little dangerous.
