2010 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT SUPERSPORTS

KEY FACTS

• A rare and eminently capable luxury grand tourer, with very low mileage from new and a particularly appealing specification.
• Under the bonnet is the thunderous 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12, which produces 621bhp and drives all four wheels through an uprated and faster six-speed Quickshift automatic transmission with paddle shift.
• Exclusively maintained by Bentley main dealers, this Continental benefits from a very recent service, and remains under extended warranty until 30 January 2022.
• Presented in rare two-seat configuration, featuring the optional carbon bucket seats as found in the Bugatti Veyron, and the rear seat delete option.
• Understood to be one of only 103 right-hand drive two-seat Supersports ever built.
• The 'dateless' registration mark of XTP 3 is included in the sale.

 EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• The changes over the standard car were significant, with the engine, gearbox, suspension, cooling system, four-wheel-drive system and brakes all uprated. The shift times decreased by 50% over the standard car and the changes to the differentials now gave a 40:60 torque split. The Continuous Damping Control (CDC) system was reworked to improve body control.
• The wheel arches were pushed out on each side to accommodate a 2-inch increase in rear track and the ride height was lowered by 10mm and the front and 15mm at the rear. Up front, its two large air ducts were enlarged to feed more air to bigger intercoolers.
• This Continental GT Supersports left the factory finished in Beluga Black with gloss black exterior trim, 20-inch lightweight forged alloy wheels unique to the Supersports, and gloss black brake callipers.
• The Supersports was fitted with colossal carbon ceramic brakes as standard; at launch the largest fitted to any production car.
• Inside, the cabin is trimmed in black leather and Alcantara, with contrasting white stitching and winged Bentley emblems embroidered on the carbon-fibre bucket seats’ headrests.
• Furthermore, the interior features quilted leather door cards and a 1100w NAIM for Bentley premium sound system, while the rear seat ‘delete’ option reduces the car’s weight while increasing its available storage space.
• Additional equipment includes a reversing camera, a power-operated boot lid, adaptive suspension dampers and keyless entry with keyless go.
• The car will be accompanied by its original sales brochure pack, original service book, handbook and other documents, as well as its two keys.

CONDITION

• No bodywork damage.
• Recently detailed, the paintwork is completely original and remains in excellent condition, with only a few stone chips to the nose and a very minor scratch at the bottom of the driver’s-side A-pillar, which is only visible upon close inspection.
• The cabin presents very well indeed, with some extremely minor wear and creasing on the driver’s seat’s outer bolster and a small scratch on the steering wheel controls.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults.
• The most recent MOT test was conducted on 15 January 2021 at 21,053 miles, which resulted in a clean, first-time pass.
• The car has a matching set of Pirelli P Zero tyres date-stamped from 2019. Having covered just over 1,000 miles they have plenty of tread remaining.
