Finished in Beluga Black over a Charcoal Alcantara and Black hide interior, this 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports features red contrast stitching, diamond-quilted lightweight 'Veyron' sports seats, and carbon-fibre inlays throughout the cabin – a purposeful combination that reflects its uncompromising character.
Upon release, this was the most powerful production Bentley ever made, a two-seater GT that redefined what a grand tourer could be. Inspired by the original 1925 Supersports – the first Bentley to exceed 100mph and favoured by legendary Bentley Boy Woolf Barnato – this modern interpretation was conceived with the same philosophy: to create a car of extreme performance, presence, and poise.
The Supersports was more than just a high-powered version of the Continental GT. With 621bhp from its 6. 0 W12 engine and a 0–60mph time of just 3. 9 seconds, it backed up its aggressive styling with serious performance.
Capable of running on petrol, biofuel, or a combination of both, it also marked a turning point for Bentley’s approach to sustainability. Extensive weight-saving measures – including fixed-back carbon fibre bucket seats shared with the Bugatti Veyron, lightweight 20-inch forged alloy wheels, and reworked suspension components – shaved over 100kg from the standard GT’s kerb weight, sharpening handling and responsiveness. The suspension was lowered, the ride retuned, and both the throttle and steering recalibrated for greater immediacy and involvement.
This particular car features the rare and desirable two-seat configuration, with the rear seats deleted from factory in favour of a carbon cross-brace, enhancing rigidity and underscoring its motorsport intent. The rear shelf is beautifully finished with diamond-quilted hide, seamlessly integrating performance with craftsmanship.
Stylistically, the Supersports distinguished itself with smoked steel trim, dramatic bonnet vents, flared arches, and aggressive new front air intakes, all of which served functional roles in cooling and aerodynamics. A wider rear track and revised aero – including a larger rear spoiler and restyled mirrors – ensured the car remained stable and composed at its 204mph top speed. Braking was equally capable, courtesy of carbon ceramic discs clearly visible behind the slim-spoked alloys.
Inside, the Supersports’ cockpit was designed to be both luxurious and focused, with tactile surfaces, a minimalist two-seat layout, and distinctive Supersports badging throughout. An authentic driver’s Bentley, this car delivered supercar performance without losing its grand touring heritage – a remarkable fusion of speed, craftsmanship, and engineering.
This particular example also features a reverse camera for added practicality, and the optional Naim for Bentley audio system – an 1, 100-watt 15-speaker setup developed in partnership with British hi-fi experts Naim, offering incredible clarity, depth, and sound staging worthy of the car’s performance pedigree.
From a provenance and maintenance perspective, this car is being sold from one of the most impressive private collections we’ve had the privilege to represent. Prior to marketing, it has just been serviced and inspected by Frank Dale & Stepsons – globally recognised as the oldest independent Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist in the world – giving full peace of mind for the next owner.
Originally costing circa £200, 000, this Supersports is now available at around 80% off its list price, with fewer than 30, 000 miles on the clock. For a car of this performance, rarity, and presence, it represents exceptional value, and arguably a safe place to park some money – one that just happens to come with a 204mph top speed and Veyron-bred credentials.
