Bentley Unveils Lighter, More Focused Continental GT Supersports for 2027

Bentley just dropped its latest performance bombshell: the 2027 Continental GT Supersports, a beast that digs deep into the brand’s high-speed DNA. Forget hybrid fluff—this stripped-down rear-wheel-drive coupe is all about raw power, razor-sharp handling and shedding pounds like a race car on a crash diet.

Under the hood? A twin-turbo V8 pumping out a ridiculous 656 horses, hooked up to an eight-speed dual-clutch box. No electric babysitter here; Bentley’s gone old-school, doubling down on pure, unadulterated driving thrills. Slammed lower than the regular Conti GT and rocking just two seats, this thing means business.

They’ve hacked away at weight like a sculptor carving marble, shaving metal to hit under two tons for the first time ever in the GT’s history. Bentley claims it’s the lightest ride they’ve built since the 1930s, thanks to axing the back seats and ruthless dieting elsewhere. Only 500 will exist, a nod to the original 1925 Super Sports that cracked 100 mph—back when that was fast. The 2027 edition? Try 192 mph flat-out and 0-62 in a heart-stopping 3.7 seconds.

At a cool $486,000, it’s less of a car and more of a flex for collectors and speed junkies who want Bentley’s wildest offering yet. Orders kick off in March, with production slated for late 2026. Early birds get their keys in ‘27.

Bottom line: lighter, meaner and rear-driven, the Supersports isn’t just another Bentley. It’s a throwback with a death grip on the future.
