If it was me... the Supersport if the roads are relatively smooth, the GT if one tends to deal with rough roads a lot. After modding the Ferrari's suspension for the track, the suspension was so very harsh on bumpy public roads that i'll never do that again. Sure it was great on the track, yet nearly useless for anything relating to 'grand touring' comfort.

Of course the Supersport will have comfort, just perhaps not as forgiving on harsh roadways. Your call really.

I think that for nearly every parameter the Bentley Continental Super Sports is the preferred choice. I think it's price reflects its value.

Depends on the type of driving and what other cars you have:

Daily driver/transport for wife, mother, girlfriend, especially if you own a Porsche or Ferrari: CGT

Special occasion driver or if you have no other supercar: SS

You've already got a couple of hard handling racers with the Porsche and Spider. Do you want another of those (SS), or something more comfortable (GT).

If you race your wife/father-in-law/chauffeur/bank manager often when they drive one of the others, then definitely a SS!

I made that decision: Supersports! It is a comfortable drive, no worries!

it is available as a 4 seat option, with either light weight carbon fiber shell or the luxury seats which I have---much more comfortable though heavier.
Different suspension settings I believe

I'd do the SS if good comfortable seats are available. No carbon fiber racing seats in a Bentley for me. It is not a race car. Comfortable posh luxury is Bentley. IMHO.

Agreed! The SF Bentley dealer has or had several Supersports Convertibles with the light weight seats in stock. Why would they order it with such uncomfortable seats to save some weight??
