Derek Bell and fastest-ever Bentley
The 621bhp Continental Supersports, the fastest and most powerful car in Bentley's 90-year history, received what the company describes as 'the ultimate examination of its supercar handling and performance credentials' when Le Mans racing legend Derek Bell spent the weekend driving it at Goodwood Festival of Speed.
According to Bentley, the Supersports is a muscular two-seater which delivers a 0-60mph sprint time of just 3.7 seconds and a maximum top speed of 204mph. Goodwood visitors witnessed a series of searing runs up the Goodwood Hill with Bell pushing the car hard, the company says - and now thanks to the miracle of video and PH, you can watch Derek spanking his Bentley too.
Reckon he's done this before...
'Designed and built at Bentley’s Crewe headquarters, the Continental Supersports combines extreme performance with the pioneering use of FlexFuel technology in the luxury sector,' boasts Bentley. 'The 6-litre W12 twin-turbocharged engine is capable of running on either petrol, E85 biofuel or any combination of these fuel sources.'
Must have been tempting to paint the car British Racing Green then.... badum-tish!
