Bentley's new Continental Supersports trades the plug-in hybrid drivetrain and all-wheel-drive hardware of its siblings for rear-wheel drive and a lighter build, betting that mechanical purity beats outright horsepower. For collectors weighing which Continental belongs in the garage, that shift toward less mass and sharper handling makes this the version worth watching.
