Having launched its Continental Supersports model last year, Bentley has followed this up with the introduction of an open-topped version. The Continental Supersports Convertible is the company's fastest drop-top yet, with a 0-62mph time of 4.2 seconds, a 0-100mph time of 9.6 seconds and a top speed of 202mph thanks to its 621bhp twin-turbocharged six-litre engine.
To cope with all this power, the Supersports has uprated suspension, carbon-ceramic brakes and Pirelli Ultra High Performance tyres. Larger air intakes and extended rear wheelarches are there for technical reasons, though they also give visual clues to the car's capability.
The engine, incidentally, is able to run on petrol, or E85 bioethanol, or a mixture of the two. Bentley aims to make all its cars - not just the Continental - able to run on biofuel by 2012.
