Arnold Schwarzenegger in Shorts and a Bentley

We know that the Governator is a car lover, as he is partly to blame for the rise in popularity of the Hummer. This time, Arnold Schwarzenegger was spotted in something that is still four-wheel drive, but offers more in the way of comfort - a Bentley Continental Supersport.

As you can see, the car is all-black and sports a red interior, showing that Schwarzenegger must really love red, as this was also the color of choice for the leather in his Porsche 911 Turbo and he also has a new Challenger SRT8 in the same color.

We just hope that he didn’t spill any of that ice cream on that expensive leather, or those shorts he is sporting. The new Supersports Convertible, with its 630 hp win-turbocharged W12 engine, is the fastest, most potent drop-top Bentley has ever built, so it should have no problem spilling your coffee if it wanted to.

The car is now capable of running on both petrol (gasoline) and E85 bioethanol or any combination of the two, reaffirming Bentley's ongoing commitment to make all its cars bio-fuel compatible by 2012. Pioneered by the Supersports Coupe, this FlexFuel technology offers a reduction of up to 70 percent in CO2 emissions on a 'well-to-wheel' basis, a measure of a fuel's net contribution to the atmosphere, not just tailpipe emissions.

Here’s how Bentley Chairman and Chief Executive Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen welcomes the new addition to the range: "The new Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible blends thrilling performance and dramatic styling with luxury and practicality in the Bentley open-top tradition. Extreme power combines with pioneering FlexFuel technology, now shared with all Continental models, reflecting Bentley's ongoing commitment to more environmental motoring."
