Bentley has decided that one tyre-smoking film wasn’t enough, so now it’s selling the souvenirs as well. Proper souvenirs, too. Tiny cars. Screen prints. The sort of things middle-aged men with suspiciously expensive shelving units tend to call “collectibles” while pretending they haven’t just spent the price of a decent dishwasher on a 1:18 scale model.
This all stems from Supersports: FULL SEND, Bentley’s unexpectedly chaotic gymkhana-style film starring Travis Pastrana. And yes, Bentley doing gymkhana still feels faintly absurd. Like seeing a duke enter a skateboarding competition. Yet somehow, it worked.
The film itself took place at Bentley’s factory in Crewe, which is normally associated with walnut veneers, hushed conversations about leather grain, and men named Alastair measuring stitching tolerances with the seriousness of a heart surgeon. Then came along Pastrana in a 666 PS Bentley Supersports, sliding sideways through the place in clouds of tyre smoke while security guards probably reconsidered their career choices.
So Bentley leaned into it.
They’ve now released two replica versions of the #199 Supersports used in the film, available in 1:18 and 1:43 scale. Tiny enough to fit on a desk, expensive enough to make you briefly stare at your bank app in silence. Still, they do look rather good.
The detail is the important bit here. Bentley clearly understood that collectors are strange creatures who’ll happily spend half an hour examining a miniature rear diffuser with the concentration of archaeologists uncovering Roman pottery. So the models replicate everything: the huge fixed rear wing, the dive planes, the aggressive side sills, and the sort of aerodynamic addenda that modern performance cars wear like military decorations.
Then there’s the livery.
Bentley collaborated with London artist Deathspray, whose work tends to occupy that lovely overlap between motorsport obsession and controlled visual chaos. The monochrome paint scheme gets interrupted by acidic green accents, green-tinted windows, and wheels painted green at the front and white at the rear. It sounds dreadful on paper. A bit like a nightclub owner’s ski jacket. Yet on the Supersports, it somehow fits the mood perfectly.
Probably because the whole project has that slightly unhinged energy about it.
Even the hydraulic handbrake appears inside the miniature cabin. That detail amused me more than it should have. Bentley spent decades refining luxury interiors so occupants could glide silently across Europe in total serenity, and now collectors can admire the tiny lever used specifically to fling one sideways through a factory corridor. Civilisation evolves in mysterious ways.
The artistic prints are perhaps even more interesting. Bentley added two limited-edition screen prints to the collection, each individually numbered and printed by hand. One captures the enormous burnout from the opening scene. The other freezes the Supersports mid-slide inside the Pyms Lane facility, looking as though someone accidentally gave a luxury GT car too much caffeine.
I rather like that Bentley didn’t over-polish any of this.
Luxury brands often panic when they attempt something playful. They smooth the edges off. Add marketing jargon. Put everyone in cream knitwear beside a marina at sunset. Here, there’s actual tyre smoke. Actual aggression. The car looks slightly dangerous, which is refreshing because modern performance launches often feel engineered by compliance departments and scented candle consultants.
Apparently the idea first emerged back in April 2024, when Bentley wanted to create something completely different from its usual films. You can imagine the Board meeting. One executive proposing another cinematic montage of continental touring while someone at the back quietly says, “What if we let Travis Pastrana drift through the factory instead?”
Amazingly, they approved it.
Bentley’s R&D department then converted a development Supersports into something suitable for Pastrana’s driving style, which presumably involved reinforcing anything that might otherwise detach itself and fly into Cheshire. Filming eventually took place in September 2025 at the famous Pyms Lane campus, itself massively expanded over recent years as Bentley continues its transition into this strange new world where heritage craftsmanship coexists with social-media spectacle.
And honestly, that balance matters.
Because the Supersports still feels unmistakably Bentley underneath all the smoke and theatrics. Huge power. Ridiculous speed. Vast presence. There’s still that sense that it could cross Europe effortlessly after demolishing a set of tyres for the cameras. Few manufacturers manage both.
Production of the actual customer Supersports begins in late 2026, with deliveries expected in early 2027 across major markets including Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan and parts of the Middle East.
Until then, collectors can settle for the miniature version.
