Bentley Continental GT Supersports (2nd Gen)

Bentley’s presence in a 600-car dream garage catalogue is defined by 22 entries, yet the Continental GT Supersports (2nd Gen) occupies a particularly unusual corner of that selection. Only 11 cars in the catalogue combine a twin-turbocharged W12, and this Bentley is part of that small group. The significance is not just the engine layout itself, but the way several uncommon choices meet in one car.

The Continental GT Supersports sits in the top 16% of the catalogue for power, ranked 98th of 600 cars with 700 bhp. Its 1,017 Nm of torque comes from a 5,998 cc, 6.0-litre W12 supported by twin turbocharging and sent through all-wheel drive. That combination places it among 12 cars using a W12 with AWD in the entire catalogue, making its mechanical identity one of its defining characteristics.

Performance places the car firmly into rarefied company within the collection. Its 0-100 km/h time of 3.5 seconds is faster than 401 of the 600 cars listed, while its 336 km/h top speed ranks 88th overall. These figures position the Continental GT Supersports not as a simple luxury grand tourer among the catalogue’s choices, but as a hyper GT with the ability to challenge far more focused performance cars.

The 2+2 seater convertible body style adds another dimension to that position. It combines open-air touring with a specification built around a 700 bhp W12 and AWD system, creating a particular type of grand touring experience within Bentley’s wider catalogue presence. The used price of £95,000 places it 295th of 600 cars by cost, with a cost per bhp of £136, showing that its appeal comes from more than headline output alone.

The Continental GT Supersports (2nd Gen) comes from the UK, the same country where Bentley was founded in 1919. Within a 600-car garage, it represents a specific interpretation of performance: a convertible hyper GT powered by a configuration shared by very few cars in the catalogue. The numbers establish its position, but the final choice comes down to whether this blend of W12 character, open-top design and extreme capability is the balance a collector wants beside the other machines already occupying those spaces.
