This time last year, Bentley revealed its stripped-down rear-drive lightweight Continental Supersports performance coupe. Naturally, the luxury automaker is planning a convertible version to add back some of the weight and a little luxury. The CarBuzz spy photographers have just snapped it testing in Germany. The new version is barely disguised and looks exceptionally mean.

Bentley's 657 HP Supersports Just Lost Its Head

Because who wouldn't want a 657 horsepower convertible? The Bentley Supersports coupe is the most hardcore spinoff from the Continental series you can buy, and also the brand's lightest car in 85 years. But we all know how hard it is to keep those pounds off after an extreme diet, and judging from these new spy shot, Bentley knows it too.

There’s More Than Meets the Eye to This Bentley Flying Spur Art Car

When David Gwyther, professionally known in the art world as Death Spray, had the pre-production Bentley Flying Spur at his studio in Wales, he knew their time together was limited—as would be the lifespan of his work. The Death Spray treatment is no stranger to the automotive world; it has been applied to racing paraphernalia, motorcycles, and five of Ken Block’s Gymkhana vehicles over the years, most of which were realized through painstaking, collaborative processes. But unlike most of those past works, the prototype Flying Spur wasn’t destined to be long for this world. Over the course of 10 days, Gwyther applied his vivid visual language to the V-8 super-sedan, creating a surface treatment that pokes fun at traditional automaker camouflage. The first step was to apply a base coat of deep black paint. Then, Gwyther hand-applied maskings before adding a layer of white paint, creating an asymmetric smattering of shapes around the Bentley. Bentley“The thing about Bentleys is that, the car disappears, but the only thing that remains is how everything feels—the knurling and texture.

New Chevrolet Silverado Production Has Started, But Not In United States

Tom started his career as a daily newspaper reporter in metro Detroit and after a decade changed course to cover cars, spending the next 25 years at Wards Automotive doing test drives, technology and supplier coverage, editing WardsAuto World magazine and managing the Wards 10 Best competitions for powertrains, then interiors, then the user experience. He became executive editor at Autoweek in 2022 and joined Valnet in 2025. At CarBuzz, he's returned to his roots: a reporter seeking out news and trends and telling stories, but with more experience. Tom's wife has been putting up with him since 1990, and they have two adult children. He runs half-marathons and plays guitar in a rock band with other Detroit auto writers, called the Exhaust Tones. General Motors is on track with the launch of its redesigned full-size 2027 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, with production having started last week in Silao, Mexico. US production is coming, but the earliest deliveries will originate from south of the border.
