**‘Supersports: FULL SEND’: Travis Pastrana and Bentley Unveil a New Era of Performance Film**
Bentley Motors has partnered with renowned motorsports athlete and stunt performer Travis Pastrana to launch an exhilarating new film titled *Supersports: FULL SEND*. This film, which has already sold out, showcases the remarkable capabilities of the recently unveiled Bentley Supersports, a vehicle designed to push the boundaries of performance and agility.
Filmed entirely at Bentley's campus and Dream Factory in Crewe, England, *FULL SEND* is a dynamic tribute to both the new Supersports and the legacy of Bentley. The film features Pastrana executing precision stunts and maneuvers that highlight the car's impressive specifications, including a powerful 666 PS engine, rear-wheel drive, and a sophisticated chassis and aerodynamics package.
The project was initiated in September of the previous year, with Pastrana working closely with Bentley's engineering team to create a gymkhana-style film that would showcase the car's capabilities in a controlled environment. The location, Bentley’s factory grounds, has been a significant site for the brand since it was established in 1938.
Pastrana was selected for this project due to his extensive background in extreme sports and motorsports, which includes a series of record-breaking stunts and performances. His previous film, *Aussie Shred*, released just a month prior, garnered nearly nine million views, setting high expectations for *FULL SEND*.
To enhance the Supersports for the film, Bentley made several modifications to the standard model. A notable addition was a hydraulic handbrake, strategically placed alongside the steering wheel. This feature allows for immediate locking of the rear axle, enabling Pastrana to execute tight drifts and maintain control during high-speed maneuvers. The integration of this handbrake with the car's control systems allows for seamless power reinstatement, enhancing the driving experience.
The handbrake's handle bears the name “Mildred,” a nod to the internal project name for the Supersports. This reference pays homage to Mildred Mary Petre, a pioneering figure in Bentley's history known for her fearless spirit and contributions to the brand.
Further modifications included software updates that enable 'power braking,' allowing simultaneous application of the brake and throttle. This feature facilitates adjustments to the car's stance during drifts and enables impressive static and rolling burnouts.
*Supersports: FULL SEND* also features a variety of special guests, both prominent and subtle, enhancing the film's appeal. The action commences in Bentley’s Engineering Technical Centre, where the Supersports is showcased alongside iconic models from Bentley’s past, including the Continental GT3 race cars and the legendary 2003 Le Mans-winning Speed 8.
The film captures thrilling scenes of Pastrana navigating the factory grounds while being pursued by the Pikes Peak Bentayga and Pikes Peak Continental GT. These vehicles are featured in a chase sequence that highlights the Supersports' agility, set against the backdrop of Bentley’s solar panel car park. Additionally, several classic models from Bentley's Heritage Collection make appearances, including the 1929 Team Blower, recognized as one of the most iconic and valuable Bentleys in history.
Production of the new Bentley Supersports is scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026, with deliveries expected to begin in early 2027. The vehicle will be available in various markets, including the UK, Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and several countries in the Middle East.
As Bentley continues to innovate and push the limits of automotive performance, *Supersports: FULL SEND* stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to excellence and its rich heritage in motorsport. The collaboration with Travis Pastrana not only showcases the capabilities of the Supersports but also celebrates the spirit of adventure and performance that defines both the athlete and the Bentley brand.
