Bentley Continental Ultrasports 702 by Wheelsandmore

Bentley Continental Ultrasports 702 Wheelsandmore

Wheelsandmore took Bentley’s fastest and most powerful coupe, the Bentley Continental Supersports, and made it better. And the result…the Bentley Continental Ultrasports 702.

Five-hundred-fifty horsepower is an awful lot of muscle. But when it’s being produced by six liters of displacement, 12 cylinders and two turbochargers, you have to figure even more is possible. Bentley themselves knew this to be true, so they squeezed an extra 50 or so out of the Continental’s enormous engine for the Speed  version. But there was still more to be extracted, so they developed the Supersports  model with over 620 horsepower.
