The 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports, which will roar into the 2009 Geneva Auto Show next week, sounds like the ultimate automotive oxymoron. It's the fastest and most powerful Bentley ever, but it also gives a nod to the green movement, since it can run on gasoline or E85 — or any combination of the two.
The Continental Supersports is equipped with a 6.0-liter W12 twin-turbocharged engine that produces 621 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. Bentley said the car sprints from zero to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 204 mph. Engineers were able to achieve a weight reduction of 243 pounds versus the Continental GT Speed. Bentley said that the car's standard carbon-ceramic brakes are the "largest and most powerful brakes ever fitted to a production car."
