The latest Bentley Continental GT Supersports is the most hardcore yet. RWD, no back seats, and some aero addenda. Just 500 will be built

I'm a big fan of the standard Cadillac Lyriq because it does old school luxury well and doesn't try to be sporty. So I'm, to say the least, curious about what the Lyriq-V has to offer.

I’m really excited about the NYC Ferry route optimization plan announced today, which will go into effect next month.
The new network (1st image) will provide direct connections from Queens to the Bronx and Staten Island to Brooklyn, and it will help alleviate crowding on the E. River. Thoughts?
