2017 Bentley Continental Supersports

The Continental Supersports was the most driver-focused iteration of Bentley's GT coupe — lower, stiffer, and more powerful than the standard W12 GT, with chassis recalibration to match its increased output. This 2017 example, finished in Moroccan Blue, has covered just 13,014 miles from new, which for a nine-year-old car of this type is genuinely low. It's the kind of mileage that suggests weekend use and careful ownership rather than daily commuting.

Power comes from Bentley's 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 producing 700 bhp and 820 lb-ft of torque through an AWD drivetrain. The factory figures — 206 mph and 4.0 seconds to 60 mph — placed the Supersports in direct competition with dedicated supercars of the period, while retaining the Continental's core ability to cover ground in near-silence when the mood demands it.

The options list is well-chosen: Supersports Titanium Exhaust, carbon fibre exterior mirrors, carbon fibre fascia panels for the centre console and roof, high gloss carbon fibre engine cover and heel plates, heated three-spoke hide-trimmed steering wheel, Naim for Bentley Premium Audio, LED approach lamps, ski hatch, and 4G Wi-Fi. The Moroccan Blue exterior is a distinctive factory colour that suits the car's sporting intent without being garish. A properly specified, low-mileage Supersports at this price sits at the more attainable end of what these cars command.
