Bentley has always stood for effortless power and refined luxury. But with the new Supersports, we have redefined what it means to be driver focused. The new Supersports is the lightest Bentley in 85 years, tipping the scales at under two tons. Every gram saved translates into sharper handling, harder acceleration and a driving experience that feels alive in your hands.

FORM MEETS FUNCTION
Reducing weight in a car renowned for its craftsmanship and comfort is no small feat. Our engineers in Crewe approached this challenge with precision, stripping away unnecessary mass without compromising the brand’s signature luxury.

Every detail of the Supersports exterior serves a purpose. The front splitter, rear diffuser and side skirts are crafted from carbon fiber, reducing weight while increasing aerodynamic efficiency. Even the roof features carbon fiber, a bold design choice that signals performance from every angle.

Inside, the Supersports is unapologetically driver centric. In pursuit of weight reduction, the rear seats have been removed – a first for Bentley in decades. This decision underscores the car’s singular focus: performance. The cabin remains unmistakably Bentley, with handcrafted materials and precision detailing, but every element has been considered for its contribution to agility and responsiveness.

The result is a car that is significantly lighter than any other Bentley before it, offering uncompromising performance with a non-hybrid, pure internal combustion V8 powertrain at its heart. This rear-wheel drive behemoth produces a heart-stopping dynamic performance and a top speed circa 192 mph (310 km/h).

CARBON FIBER: THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE STRENGTH
Carbon fiber plays a starring role in the Supersports’ weight reduction. Known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, this material is five times stronger than steel yet weighs a fraction of it.

So, what makes carbon fiber so special? At its core, carbon fiber is composed of thin strands of carbon atoms, tightly woven and bonded with resin. This creates a material that is incredibly rigid while remaining remarkably light.

Carbon fiber isn’t just a technical choice – it’s a design philosophy. Every piece serves a purpose, whether it’s reducing drag, increasing downforce, or enhancing structural integrity. In the Supersports, this translates into a car that feels planted at high speeds yet nimble through corners.

PERFORMANCE REDEFINED
Weight reduction isn’t about numbers on a spec sheet; it transforms the way a car behaves. With less mass to move, the Supersports accelerates with ferocity, delivering breathtaking responsiveness. Lower weight also means improved braking performance and more precise steering feedback – qualities that matter when you’re pushing the limits on an open road.

Aerodynamics complement this lightweight approach. The Supersports generates the most downforce of any Bentley to date, ensuring stability without sacrificing elegance. Together, these elements create a driving experience that is visceral yet controlled – a perfect harmony of power and poise.

A NEW ERA FOR BENTLEY
The Supersports is a declaration from Bentley that performance and luxury can coexist without compromise. By embracing cutting-edge materials like carbon fiber and obsessing over every detail, we have crafted a machine that is lighter, faster and more exhilarating than ever before. For those who demand the ultimate driving experience, the Supersports delivers in every sense.
