Driving the all-wheel drive, biofuel-powered 6-liter, 12-cylinder Continental Supersports convertible on the perilous frozen Baltic Sea, off the coast of Finland, Kankkunen achieved a speed of 205.48 mph (330.695 km/h) eclipsing his own ice speed record of 199.83 mph (321.6 km/h) set in 2007 in the Continental GT.Dramatically Extrovert StylingJust 100 examples of this dramatically styled new model will be built at Bentley's Crewe factory. The Supersports 'Ice Speed Record' is distinguished by its vibrant and muscular styling cues that reinforce the uncompromising performance credentials of this extreme Bentley convertible.Bentley's designers have selected three 'stand-out' exterior paint colors for the new convertible: Beluga, Quartzite and, fittingly, Arctica White. These colors are complemented by a Dark Grey Metallic soft top with Bentley's refined three-ply composite construction. The unique appearance of the soft top is created in the outer layer by a 'grey' acrylic fiber with a semi-transparent 'metallic look' in a twill weave construction. The car's potent performance is further accentuated by 20" inch, 10-spoke Supersports wheels with a dark tint finish.
