Detailed analysis of the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible · 710 CV (2016-2017)
General description
The 2016 Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible is the ultimate expression of open-top luxury grand touring. A work of engineering that fuses unprecedented opulence with the heart of a beast: a 6.0-liter W12 engine delivering 710 horsepower. It's not just a car, it's a statement of intent, the fastest and most powerful four-seater convertible of its time, designed to devour continents with breathtaking elegance and force.
Driving experience
Driving this Bentley is a visceral experience that floods the senses. When you press the accelerator, the world blurs as the 1017 Nm of torque crushes you against the seat in a wave of endless thrust. The sound of the W12 is a mechanical symphony, a deep and aristocratic roar that is magnified when the top is down. Despite its nearly 2.5 tons, the permanent all-wheel drive conveys a sense of absolute safety and control, allowing you to unleash its fury with astonishing confidence. It is the perfect duality between a serene cruiser and a wild supercar.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is an ode to power and elegance. The muscular and fluid lines of the Continental GT are accentuated in the Supersports version with carbon fiber details, a fixed rear spoiler, and imposing 21-inch wheels that leave no doubt about its sporting lineage. The interior is a sanctuary of craftsmanship, where every stitch of the leather and every polished metal insert is a testament to Bentley's obsessive care. Traveling in it, with the sky as your roof, is to immerse yourself in a luxury that can be felt and touched.
Technology and features
Beneath its classic skin lies formidable technology for its time, focused on taming its incredible power. The heart of the system is the all-wheel drive with a torque split that favors the rear axle for more dynamic behavior. The 8-speed automatic transmission manages the engine's power with speed and smoothness, while the gigantic carbon-ceramic brakes ensure stopping power that matches its performance. The adaptive air suspension completes the package, offering imperial comfort on long journeys or sporty firmness at the touch of a button.
Competition
In the exclusive Olympus of grand touring convertibles, the Continental Supersports Convertible faced titans like the Rolls-Royce Dawn, which prioritized absolute luxury over extreme sportiness, and the Mercedes-AMG S 65 Cabriolet, another colossus with a V12 engine but with a less artisanal approach. However, none of its contemporaries managed to combine the performance of a supercar, the luxury of a limousine, and the freedom of a convertible in such an explosive way, thus creating a unique and highly desired niche.
Conclusion
The Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible is much more than an automobile; it is a rolling legend, the swan song of an era of glorious excess. It represents the culmination of the Grand Tourer concept, a vehicle capable of crossing Europe at breakneck speeds without sacrificing an iota of comfort or style. It is a collector's item, an unforgettable emotional experience, and a monument to the power of the combustion engine in its most majestic and unrestrained form. A dream that justifies every euro of its price with pure emotion.
