CONTINENTAL SUPERSPORTS CONVERTIBLE

Bentley Continental Convertible strengthens Supersports range supercar, Bentley, after the introduction of Bentley Continental coupe Supersport in 2009. Supersports the new convertible, with the same 630P (621bhp/463kW) biturbo W12 it is the fastest, most powerful Bentley convertible ever built, offering a unique experience in a Bentley convertible The world's most spectacular.

The inspiration for the name "Super Sport is the Bentley Supersports 1925, a race-bred version of the famous Bentley 3-liter, which made 85bhp when more than ordinary cars were equipped with a modest 15bhp. He also the first production car to reach 100 km / h - extreme performance in its time.

A new, muscular, four-seater convertible Bentley Continental Super Sport is obvious to Bentley design and craftsmanship, but it is interiorsignifies dramatic re-interpretation of luxury Bentley. Satin finished carbon fiber, Alcantara ™ and "Soft Grip" skin to create a unique sport and clearly contemporary.

All models of the Continental range, including the new Bentley Continental Convertible Super Sport is now able to use both gasoline (petrol) and E85 bio-ethanol, or both, to strengthen Bentley's continued commitment to make all vehicles compatible with biofuels in 2012. A pioneer in the Super Sports Coupe, FlexFuel this technology offers a reduction of up to 70 percent of CO2 emissions into a well to wheel "basis, a measure of fuel sales in the atmosphere, not only for tailpipe emissions.

To ensure continuous power supply, the fuel system on-board network detects the mixing ratio of fuel in the tank and ensures that the power and torque remains constant regardless of the ratio of gasoline to biofuels.

Bentley, president and CEO Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen welcomes the new addition to the range of Bentley, as well as standardization W12 FlexFuel engine on all Continental models, 2011:

"The new Bentley Continental Super Sport Cabriolet combines exciting performance and a dramatic style of luxury and convenience of a traditional open Bentley. Extreme combines the power of FlexFuel technology pioneer, is now distributed to all Continental models, that the continued commitment of Bentley more environmentally-racing. "

Bentley Continental Convertible Supersports - Details

The new Bentley Continental Supersport Cabriolet is a car that should be taken to be fully understood. Behind the wheel, it is obvious that Bentley Supersports is a "fusion of extremes" - the ultimate in extreme performance, daily practice and craft of unprecedented luxury.

Bentley Supersports program begins "under the radar" project examines the possibilities of weight reduction Continental GT Coupe, but with more power and torque. In much of the experimental project soon crystallized into a new program of official cars driven by passion and enthusiasm of a small group of engineers and designers to Bentley. Now Bentley Continental Convertible Super Sport has received the same priority and the results are less dramatic. Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn, member of the Board, Engineering, explains the thinking behind the project:

"Stable" extreme "Bentley now has a new occupant in the form of Bentley Continental Super Sport Cabriolet -. A car as resolute and powerful as a coupe, but with the elegance of the car roof down "

A very focused experience pure driving Bentley

With 630P (621bhp) and 800Nm (590 ft) of torque FlexFuel his pioneering and retransmission Quickshift "Supersports Bentley Continental Convertible is the fastest Bentley ever built convertible. Accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds (0-100km / h in 4.2 seconds) and the conditions permit, may continue to a top speed of 202 mph (325 kmh).

The increasing power and torque are transmitted to the AWD system through a revised transmission and quick six-speed Quick Shift, which more than half the crossing time (in only 93 milliseconds) and maximizes the potential for huge new Convertible . The gearbox has also revised the ability to deliver double downshifts (sixth to fourth gear, for example) and improves acceleration throughout the speed range. To cope with the power and torque, the planetary gear ZF transmission is also enhanced.

positive torque when downshifting reached by the engine and transmission interact electronic controller for the gas booster and injection of fuel during overrun. When transmitting high gear, fuel and ignition cut for a while to give more rapidly altering the timing of mechanical torque reduction could also improve the ride quality and durability.

The extreme performance Bentley Continental Convertible Super Ports is compensated by precise handling characteristics while maintaining levels of first class comfort and refinement. Developed from GTC Speed, includes improvements Retuning chassis electronics Continuous Damping Control (CDC) system, stiffer suspension bushings front and revised rear anti-roll bar. Bentley Continental Super Sport Cabriolet also share his ride height with GTC Speed, who sits 10mm (0.4in) below the front and 15mm (0.6in) lower back that the standard RCT.

The front suspension after the lever is a thicket of new hydraulic design, 33 percent stiffer than the speed GTC, improving steering response and improve the bar swing back provides better body control and turn-in response.

Have to CDC-system provides better control of body movement to find the optimum balance of handling and ride comfort under all driving movements. Agility is further exacerbated by a ratio of 40:60 rear-biased torque is divided into four-wheel drive system that reduces understeer in hard cornering, allowing an experienced driver to modulate the line of cars and the balance of control precise gas.

9.5Jx20-inch forged aluminum wheels, split Super Sports Coupé weight savings, providing 10 kg (22 pounds) per vehicle, to reduce unsprung weight and rotating mass, and an open 10-spoke wheel is a good cooling brake. The rear wheels are 25 mm (1 inch) offset a result greater than 50 mm (2 inches) increase in the back of the track also benefits handling and stability.

Lightweight wheels fitted with 275/35 ZR 20 Pirelli Ultra High Performance tires, providing excellent performance management. The pneumatic system-standard form of monitoring allows the driver to select the type of tires and the parameters of speed range. And pressure monitoring, the system alerts the driver if the speed is too high for the tire pressure or tire speed indications are exceeded on winter tires.

Bentley Continental Convertible Super Sport is an advanced Electronic Stability Program (ESP), the intervention of moderate to low speeds, more powerful engine and improved chassis, improving driver interaction and control. New ESP also offers a faster re-pair after the surgery, the greater control when the driver occupied. The objective of briefs increased by over 90 percent of gas to use all the available longitudinal traction. out of turns, agility is therefore also improve the driver to increase participation. Together with the tire frame, and track changes over time, improved grip, turn, and agility.

Carbon ceramic brakes are standard equipment and offer a reduction in rotating and unsprung mass of 20 kg (44 pounds) of the front axle, benefiting steering response, traction and ride comfort. The large diameter (420 mm front, rear 356 mm) discs and eight-piston calipers provide light performance fade-resistant braking with minimal distortion of the disc under high temperature conditions. Pedal feel is also improved with a shorter, high efficiency and precise pressure point.

Conception of the "extreme" Bentley convertible where form follows function

The design evolution of the Bentley Continental Convertible Supersport is largely a matter of form follows function, with new sculptural forms signaling determines the technical changes in the skin. The major changes in engineering design Supersports driven include:

- Revised front air intakes and a new bonnet taken to improve air flow and cooling

- Flared rear fenders to accommodate a wider track

- A discreet bootlid spoiler beneficial aerodynamic balance at high speeds

The increasing power and torque of the motor W12 need an extra 10 percent for air flow turbocharger boost and dual cooling system. With the extensive use of techniques of computational fluid dynamics, Bentley's designers responded with a dramatic and deliberate style, including large vertical openings for admission. Double ventilation hood were added to ensure positive air extraction.

Similarly, brand new rear fender burned to accommodate the 50 mm (2 inches) wider track rear axle are designed to highlight the attractiveness of the convertible powerful ultra-high performance. The resulting Bentley Continental Convertible Supersport style combines the look of the graceful Continental GTC with a broad aspect, the base character, muscular reflecting their more extreme.

Bentley Continental Super Sport Cabriolet Coupé stablemate in common, Bentley is in the position in the portfolio of its own, as Raul Pires, Head of Exterior Design says.

"Bentley Continental Super Sport Coupe and convertible Bentley is the definitive guide, and reflects the unique signals, which offer a bold, sporty looking car from any angle they are admired. Up to 50 meters behind the dark path, you can only say Super Sports. "

From the front, radiator, hood and grille vents are double elimination smoked steel finish. Derived from an innovative technology that is normally used to apply a layer of luxury watches and specialized tools of the industry, physical vapor deposition (PVD) is a long and complex process that involves depositing vaporized metal on the surface of the In this case, stainless steel.

Give a darker tone, the strongest aspect is the first use of a PVD finish on stainless steel in the automotive industry. In addition to steel finishes smoky, a glossy black finish housing the headlights and taillights give a distinctive character Supersports Bentley Continental convertible and more muscular posterior visual impact.

Renewed - and aerodynamics - exterior match the exterior paint of choice, and around windows and doors to replace the term polished stainless steel to meet the smoky grill. Attractive, shiny black Bentley-branded brake calipers act on carbon ceramic brakes. Surrounding the brakes have a unique 20-inch forged alloy wheels smoked steel finish that is exclusively for Super models Sports. Large-diameter exhaust emissions are cut off by a car around a resolute attitude, viewed from behind. Under the hood Supersports signs grace the cover of 630PS (621bhp) W12 engine.

Bentley Continental Convertible Supersports a cloth cover electrical control, the isolation of three layers with acoustic technology offers excellent levels of refinement and comfort when they are high. A selection of eight bell colors are available, including a new option dark metallic gray, which is made of acrylic fibers weaving "gray" with the fibers of a "metal effect" semi-transparent in a twill construction to create directional effect of color.
