It turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks. For proof, just look at the Bentley Continental Supersports, a big two-door that rides on a 13-year-old platform but continues to impress with its performance numbers. Performance isn’t all this 700-hp luxury cruiser has to offer, though. Check out the numbers below to see a few other notable metrics.
