2011 Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible Ice Speed Record Edition
Bentley announced today its most potent and radically styled convertible ever - the 202 mph (325 km/h) Supersports 'Ice Speed Record' convertible. This new model, limited to just 100 cars worldwide, is a celebration of the Company's world ice speed record set two weeks ago by Finland's four-time world rally champion Juha Kankkunen in a Bentley Continental Supersports convertible.

Driving the all-wheel drive, biofuel-powered 6-liter, 12-cylinder Continental
Supersports convertible on the perilous frozen Baltic Sea, off the coast of
Finland, Kankkunen achieved a speed of 205.48 mph (330.695 km/h) eclipsing his
own ice speed record of 199.83 mph (321.6 km/h) set in 2007 in the Continental
GT.
Dramatically Extrovert Styling
Just 100 examples of
this dramatically styled new model will be built at Bentley's Crewe factory. The
Supersports 'Ice Speed Record' is distinguished by its vibrant and muscular
styling cues that reinforce the uncompromising performance credentials of this
extreme Bentley convertible.
Bentley's designers have selected three
'stand-out' exterior paint colors for the new convertible: Beluga, Quartzite
and, fittingly, Arctica White. These colors are complemented by a Dark Grey
Metallic soft top with Bentley's refined three-ply composite construction.
The unique appearance of the soft top is created in the outer layer by a
'grey' acrylic fiber with a semi-transparent 'metallic look' in a twill weave
construction. The car's potent performance is further accentuated by 20" inch,
10-spoke Supersports wheels with a dark tint finish.
