Ice King Pt. III

2010 Audi RS6 Nokian Tyres

To all of those who ordered the Bentley Continental Supersports ISR edition, you might want to fill a return notice to Bentley and take your special car back. It's ice speed record was recently beaten, by an Audi. Yep! Just when you thought Bentley had done it, Nokian Tyres came up with their lightened Audi RS6 and set a speed record of 206.06 MPH on the ice. That smashes the 205.48 record set by the Bentley. So, right now, that special edition Bentley means absolutely nothing. Don't even bother buying it if you haven't. It looks like Nokian preferred Audi to Bentley because of its Quattro-all-wheel drive system and their new studded snow tires. What will Audi do now since they produce the fastest snow car on earth? They might bring RS6 back sooner. Who knows?

2011 Bentley Continental Supersports ISR Edition

Here it is, Ladies and Gentlemen. This is Bentley's "coolest" Continental to date. Although, in my mind, it doesn't look all that different than the original Supersports. Anyway, the car will be available in Quartzite, Arctic White, and Berluga as seen above. As an extra, Bentley has added 10 more horses to this car giving it 631 horsepower from its 6.0-liter Twin-Turbocharged W12 engine. 0 to 60 is done in just 3.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 202 MPH. This car was made in honor of the world record set by Juha Kankkunen of taking a Bentley, like this one, to 205 MPH, on ice! No other car or driver was capable of achieving this great record. Only 100 examples will be made. So, if want a world record car, you better act fast.

2011 Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible Ice Speed Record

Once again, an automotive world record has been achieved from the manufacturer you least expect. Bentley recently tuned their big and powerful Continental Supersports Convertible to be more aerodynamic than usual. It still has that big 6.0-liter Twin-Turbocharged W12 engine with 631 horsepower, but with a lighter body and more aerodynamic styling, this car was able to set a world speed record, on ice. Yep! Bentley still produces the fastest snow cars on earth. This one reached a top speed of 205.10 MPH! That's fast anywhere, but even faster on snow. This was such a triumph, Bentley even plan to produce a special edition to this car. Obviously it won't look like this with no headlights, mirrors, or actual wheels, but it will have the same Twin-Turbocharged engine, will come in three unique arctic colors, and, as usual, will have all the drinks-globe luxury you need. Only 100 will be made. Prices have not been announced yet, but they might be at Geneva, where this car will be on display.
