2018 Bentley Continental GT GTC Supersports

A first-generation Continental GT send-off in its most extreme form — the Supersports was Bentley's answer to the question of what happens when you extract 700 bhp from the venerable 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 and pair it with carbon ceramic brakes, titanium exhaust, and a serious weight-reduction programme. This GTC example in Storm Grey Metallic with the full Carbon Fibre Styling Specification — splitter, diffuser, bonnet vents, side skirts, mirror caps — looks purposeful without resorting to theatre. Inside, the Beluga hide and Alcantara with Hotspur contrast stitching is a well-judged combination, complemented by carbon fibre veneer and the 12 o'clock steering wheel marker in Hotspur.

At 23,000 miles the car has clearly been used and enjoyed rather than mothballed, and has just been serviced. The Blackline Exterior Specification deletes the chrome for a more cohesive look alongside the black matrix grille and diamond-turned 21-inch forged wheels. Heated and ventilated massaging seats, surround-view cameras, and three-zone climate control ensure this remains a genuine grand tourer despite the Supersports badge.

With only around 710 Supersports produced across coupe and convertible, this is a genuinely scarce modern Bentley. The first-generation Continental GT's final evolution, priced at £99,950, represents a compelling entry point for a car that was north of £230,000 new.
