Video: Derek Bell takes the Bentley Continental Supersports Coupe around the Nurburgring
Two months ago at Goodwood Festival of Speed’s Sunday Times Supercar Runs, British race-car driver Derek Bell took the Bentley Continental Supersports for a hot-lap. Bell finally took out sometime to take the new Bentley out for a spin on the Nurburgring and we now have a video of his lap around the Nordschleife.
Just to point out how good Bell is, the man is a 5 time winner of Le Mans and also raced in Formula One for the Ferrari, McLaren, Surtees and Tecno teams.
Refresher: Power comes from a 6.0L W12 twin-turbocharged engine making 621-hp with a maximum torque of 590 lb-ft. 0 to 60 mph comes in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 204 mph. The engine is capable of running on gasoline and E85 biofuel or any combination of the two.
