Bentley Continental Supersports yours for $570K

The most powerful Bentley ever to turn a wheel on the road, the Continental Supersports pumps out 700hp. So there's the equivalent of 700 horses galloping under its curved bonnet.

Translated to metric, that's 522kW, which hits at 5900rpm thanks to its belting 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 engine.

How much? Well, it costs $569,522 for the coupe and $626,474 for the convertible.

Those prices don't include on-road costs, nor options, accessories or the extra-special Mulliner customisations that the company offers. In fact, you could add enough fruit to give the insane 336km/h Bentley a million-dollar price tag.

The Bentley Continental Supersports made its Australian debut in Melbourne at the 2017 Australia F1 Grand Prix, giving the tens of thousands of motorsport fans a chance to check out the 522kW monster.

It accelerates to 100km/h in just 3.5 seconds, which puts it in exulted territory, thanks to a special all-wheel drive system that apportions torque 40:60 front to rear. Not bad for a 2.3-tonne luxo-barge.

An-eight speed automatic ensures the engine's incredible 1017Nm of torque finds its way effectively to the 21-inch alloy wheels. Fuel consumption is rated at no less than 15.7L/100km.

An astonishing 3800 litres of air passes through the Supersports' considerable radiator every second when travelling at 336km/h, which would fill the volume of a shipping container in 10 seconds, according to the car-maker.

The turbochargers spin at 2500rps (revs per second, not minute!), reaching temperatures close to that of lava – almost 1000 degrees centigrade.

But for all the car's extreme technical achievements it's still a Bentley and that means you get luxury appointments, and lots of them.

There are 17 different leather colour options, lots of carbon-fibre trim in the cabin, and huge sports seats within which occupants can either relax or energise, depending on the scenario. Triple-tone leather upholstery in red-white-black is offered

There are eight two-tone exterior paint jobs on offer, and the world's fastest four-door car also features new aerodynamic body work to deal with its 300km/h-plus speeds.
