After all, there was never any doubt that the German-owned maker of high-end luxury cars would eventually cut the top off its latest sportster -- in this case powered by the most powerful production version of the automaker's 6.0-liter W12 powerplant.<br />
<br />
For those that like to keep track of such things, this would be the eighth derivative of the Continental platform - the others being the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/continental+gt">GT coupe</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/continental+gtc">GTC cabrio</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/continental+flying+spur"> Flying Spur sedan</a>, Speed versions of each and the Supersports coupe. If it does indeed see the light of day, expect the GTC Supersports to boast a similar weight reduction as <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/09/the-price-of-green-bentley-continental-supersports-is-267-000/">the coupe</a> (243 pounds, although it's sure to gain a few when the top comes off) along with carbon ceramic brakes and the deletion of the rear seats. Oh, and flex-fuel capability... at <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/07/report-bentley-to-delay-flex-fuel-capability-for-2010-continent/">some point</a>.<br />
