At any moment you expect it to unfold into a giant robot and start bench-pressing 747s. The Supersports name sounds quintessentially British, what we expect from the chuffed ironmongers at Bentley. Black, fine-spoke 20-inch wheels harboring huge carbon-ceramic discs add bigness to the complexion of the Supersports. A mere 157 feet separates 70 mph from zero—yet another astounding number—but a relentless, maddening squeak made the Bentley sound like a city bus around town.

Just when you think Continentals have reached their limit, the boys turn up the secret power screw. What’s next , the Continental Hyper Crumpet. Source: www.caranddriver.com
