Bentley has released a video of the 2011 Continental Supersports Convertible motoring through the dramatic mountain scenery of Colorado, demonstrating the supreme driveability of the muscular, four-seater drop-top as well as its outright performance.

The newest addition to the Continental model range features a 621HP, twin-turbocharged W12 engine – making it Bentley’s fastest, most potent convertible ever, and one that is capable of running on both petrol and E85 bioethanol. Says Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn, Member of the Board, Engineering, “The ‘extreme’ Bentley stable now has a new occupant in the form of the Supersports Convertible. It is a car every bit as purposeful and potent as the Coupé but with the panache of roof-down motoring.”
