Inspired by Bentley's racing heritage and the Le Mans race winners of the 1920s, Supersports was launched as both a coupe and convertible. It was followed in the same year by the model now synonymous with Bentley's pursuit of ultimate driving performance - the Continental Supersports. This model too became available as a convertible in 2009.Ĭontinental GT Series 51 celebrated Bentley's design studio, and featured unique interior and exterior features, developed by Bentley's trim designers.
2007 saw the creation of a Speed model - to further explore the performance capabilities of the powerful GT, whilst still offering unmatched levels of refinement and craftsmanship. In 2005, a convertible model was introduced, featuring the same powerful W12 engine as the Continental GT before it, adding the opportunity to experience the grand tour in the open air.
The Continental GT redefined Grand Touring: and between 20 Bentley created a grand tourer that turned both the driver's head and heart. Engineering excellence and supercar performance were at its core, featuring a 6-litre twin-turbocharged 12-cylinder engine in W formation developed and tuned by Bentley. At its launch in 2003, Bentley refined and redefined the language of grand tourer design with the revolutionary Continental GT.
