Arrow Vid: Bentley Supersports on Nürburgring.

From Worldcarfans.com

It's a 'spy' vid, so not brillian sound, but it does give you a sense of the Supersports in motion.
YouTube - Bentley Continental Supersports BioFuel Spied on Nurburgring

So for those of you who wondered what the USS Nimitz would look like going round the 'Ring, there you go.

Is it the car leaning or the earth tipping over in corners?

Rep to you for this video. It so exciting to see how such heavy car can do well on such track.

lol camera tricks help. No but seriously, it looks like it handles really well.

Well, handling is relative. I think they probably did an amazing job given the platform they're working with, but it ain't a 997 Turbo either. Then again, it's probably irrelevant, as I imagine if you have the car in the environment it was intended for it's incredible.

Damn, that hog really sticks through the corners! The exhaust note sounds pretty throaty, yet not loud enough to disturb the passengers.

For some reason, this looks more like a proper old school Bentley in matte black than the regular Conti GT does. Not quite sure what it is about the Supersports but I kinda like it!

Looks to be much slower than an SL65 BS. Let alone a Porsche GT2.

I can't really reconcile in my head why someone wants a Bentley wannabe racecar. The creature comforts and ride quality suck compare to the Speed or a normal version, while the handling won't be that of a real sports car... sounds to me like a good marketing gimmick.

Kind of like the Scuderia 16M Spyder.

I have to disagree with you. Bentley has amazing race history and the Supersports will leave you speechless. I've had the chance to ride in the car at the factory. The handling, power, shift times, were that of a race car.
