Supercar enthusiasts may wish to consider taking the fastest and most powerful Bentley ever for a spin to test its muscle.

Bentley has announced the arrival of the Continental Supersports, which not only is the "extreme" Bentley but also runs on both biofuel and petrol culminating in the first use of FlexFuel technology in the executive sector.

The two-seater will be available to used car fans from autumn of this year when they will be able to push the vehicle to its limits and hit the dizzy heights of 204 miles per hour.

Furthermore, drivers can witness the vehicle's rapid acceleration to 60 miles per hour from standstill in 3.7 seconds, while enjoying the retuned steering and suspension.

Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen, Bentley’s chairman and chief executive, said: "The Continental Supersports reflects the passion and enthusiasm of Bentley's engineers and designers.

"This is the fastest, most extreme Bentley ever, dramatically styled to underline its supercar character. Importantly, it also pioneers the use of FlexFuel technology in the luxury sector."

Bentley is planning to make its entire range compatible with renewable fuels by 2012.
