Yes. The Supersports Convertible made its global debut during the Geneva auto show in March. New York represents this luxury car’s first appearance in the United States.

What they said: This is Bentley’s “fastest, most potent convertible ever,” according to a company news release.

What they didn’t say: The niche market for ecologically themed supercars is gaining momentum, based on recent auto shows. Ferrari and Porsche unveiled exotic, high-performance hybrids at the Geneva Motor Show, but not Bentley. It may be time.

What makes it tick? A turbocharged 6-liter W-12 engine delivers 621 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. If you don’t value your hairdo, the Supersports Convertible will rocket you to a top speed of 202 miles per hour, says Bentley, which claims this to be the “fastest four-seat convertible in the world.” The company adds that accelerating from zero to 60 miles per hour takes only 3.9 seconds.
