Bentley is introducing a second special edition model that celebrates the British automaker’s ice speed record which this time is called the Continental Supersports Convertible ISR.
The company claims this is the most potent and radically styled Bentley convertible ever made, with a 6-litre 12-cylinder W12 engine featuring the FlexFuel technology, producing 640 PS (631 bhp / 471 kW) and 800 NM of torque and spinning all four wheels via a Quickshift six-speed automatic transmission.
The extra power comes from various engine tweaks and new free-breathing air intake ducts, a new intercooler system and a new exhaust system and as a result sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible ISR takes 3.8 seconds (0 to 100 Km/h in 4.0 seconds) / 9.5 seconds to hit 100 mph (0 to 160 Km/h in 9.4 seconds).
Other upgrades include carbon ceramic brakes (420 mm front, 356 mm rear) with 8-piston calipers, and ultra high performance tires prom Pirelli (275/35ZR20)
With only 100 exemplars to be produced the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible ISR price start sat 189,300 GBP including VAT, and the car is already available for ordering at dealerships.
