2010 Bentley Continental Supersports – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nIt may not be the most interesting news you read all week, but we now have a date at which all Bentley<\/a> Continentals will be able to gulp down whiskey with the best of ’em: June.( Well, not exactly whiskey, but ethanol’s pretty close.) Bentley had made the announcement (sans date) at the Geneva Motor Show<\/a> when it showed off the Continental Supersports Convertible<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This move as a big first step toward reaching Bentley’s stated goal of offering an entirely biofuel-capable lineup by 2012. In its latest form, as seen in the Continental Supersports, Bentley’s twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 offers up 621 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. That’s sufficient to push the Conti to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and onto to a top speed of 202 mph.<\/p>\n

As the Continental family is easily Bentley’s most popular offering, this means that over half of all cars the brand sells this year will be flex-fuel-compatible. For those keeping track, the Brooklands<\/a> coupe (which will soon be discontinued), Azure <\/a>convertible and the soon-to-be-released Mulsanne<\/a> sedan (the replacement for the long-running Arnage<\/a>) are still not yet biofuel capable. According to Automotive News<\/em>, however, the Mulsanne will be E85-capable shortly after its launch later this year.<\/p>\n
