The engine's output was increased by 30% compared to the standard Continental GT, with a 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 198 mph (electronically limited).
The Supersports had a unique appearance with a black front splitter, sills, and rear diffuser. The car also featured a distinctive rear spoiler. The interior was characterized by a three-spoke leather steering wheel, Bentley's carbon crystal instrument dials, and an infotainment system with navigation.
A Lightweight edition of the Supersports was produced, weighing 242 pounds less than the standard car due to the removal of various trim pieces and the use of lightweight materials. This variant had a unique badging and a limited production run.
The Continental Supersports was priced at around $250,000 in the US market during its production run. It was aimed at enthusiasts who wanted a high-performance version of the Continental GT with exclusive styling cues and increased power output.
