How Bentley Built Its Wildest Supersports Ever For FULL SEND

Bentley set out to do something very different with its Supersports project, and what came out of it feels less like a traditional car film and more like a full-scale stunt production. The project, centered around the film “Supersports: FULL SEND,” was not just about showcasing performance, but about pushing the limits of what a luxury performance brand could do when it steps outside its comfort zone. Working alongside motorsport legend Travis Pastrana, Bentley Motors transformed its own headquarters into a live-action playground.

The idea started taking shape in April of the previous year when the team realized the new Supersports had the potential to do something bold. Internally, the concept was referred to as “Pymkhana,” a nod to gymkhana-style driving but set on Bentley’s own Pyms Lane campus. At first, it sounded ambitious, even risky, but after discussions across departments and approval from leadership, the project moved forward with full support.

Engineers were then given the task of turning a Supersports development vehicle into something far more extreme than anything a customer would ever drive. They reworked the electronic limited slip differential for earlier engagement, completely disabled the electronic stability control, and introduced custom software that allowed for both stationary and rolling burnouts. One of the most critical upgrades was a fully functional hydraulic handbrake system, seamlessly integrated with the eight-speed dual clutch transmission. This allowed the car to slide into tight corners with precision rather than relying purely on power.

To make sure nothing slowed down production, a second backup vehicle was built alongside the main car. Both were finished with a custom livery inspired by gymkhana culture, designed by Deathspray, and fitted with 22-inch wheels. The main car even featured titanium skid blocks underneath, creating dramatic sparks during some of the more aggressive scenes.

Filming took place over 3 days in late September 2025, and the scale of the operation was massive. The entire Bentley campus had to be shut down, something that had never been done before. Every scene was carefully planned to avoid damaging critical infrastructure like gas lines, fiber optic systems, and power supplies that ran just inches beneath the surface. Coordinating high-speed action in a working factory environment required precision, discipline, and constant communication.

The production crew alone included more than 100 people, with around 25 dedicated to filming. Specialized equipment played a big role, including drones, compact camera rigs, and a custom-built tracking vehicle based on an early Bentayga W12 fitted with a crane arm. Supporting teams handled everything from safety and logistics to vehicle preparation and medical readiness.

Despite the intensity of the shoot and speeds exceeding 120 mph, the outcome was surprisingly smooth. The only real casualty during filming was a single damaged mirror, which says a lot about how well the operation was executed. After the shoot wrapped, the project moved into post-production, where months of editing brought the final film together, including hidden details designed for viewers to discover on repeat watches.

What makes this project stand out is not just the performance or the visuals, but the willingness of Bentley to take risks and let its engineering capabilities shine in a completely different light. It shows what happens when a brand known for refinement decides to fully embrace chaos, even if just for a few minutes on screen.
