Those of you who know your cars and your TV Guides probably know that last week, Top Gear finally made its long-awaited return to the BBC with the first episode of their 15th season. Well, that should pose as great news for those who actually have access to BBC and could therefore watch the show from the confines of their own living rooms. But as for us here in America, any chance of watching the show as soon as it hits UK television is left all up to live streamings, or, if we’re lucky, downloadable torrents that are made available as soon as the episode ends in the UK.

But that’s a topic for another day because what we’d like to show you was how Top Gear kicked off their 15th season, and it’s something that should be of interest to those who have fallen head over heels for this car. ’This car’, of course, is the Bentley Continental Supersports, which Jeremy Clarkson puts to task as he reviews every nook and cranny of the new Bentley powerhouse. Clarkson takes equal turns in heaping praise for the car and just as quickly, criticizing for one reason or another. It’s a good video to watch, especially for those who have strong opinions - good or bad - on the Bentley Continental Supersports.

The American tuner Tecnocraft is currently working on a tuning package for the new Bentley Continental Supersports. While the work is still in progress they were kind enough to reveal a few details on their future product.

Tuner’s main concern is to make the car as lighter as possible. For that Tecnocraft added a dry carbon fiber front lip and a trunk spoiler, a new exhaust system, carbon ceramic brakes and an interior in dry carbon.

We can’t wait to see how this change will affect the car’s final specifications.
