一个世纪前的超跑长这样

<aside class="pullbox sidebar fullwidth">宾利安排了从华盛顿特区到加州蒙特雷的航班及住宿，使Ars能够<a href="https://arstechnica.com/cars/2026/08/the-bentley-supersports-a-stripped-out-engineers-indulgence/">试驾全新的Supersports</a>并乘坐一款预产版Torcal电动车，<a href="https://arstechnica.com/cars/2026/08/an-ev-that-sounds-like-a-6-75-l-v8-a-ride-in-the-bentley-torcal/">相关内容我们上周已报道</a>。期间，我们还体验了一辆相当古老的车型。Ars不接受付费编辑内容。</aside> <p>加州蒙特雷——在<a href="https://arstechnica.com/cars/2026/08/the-bentley-supersports-a-stripped-out-engineers-indulgence/">本刊其他地方</a>，您可以找到我们对全新宾利Supersports的首次赛道体验。取消了混动系统并回归后轮驱动，它不仅是记忆中最具驾驶者导向的宾利，也显然是该公司85年来制造的最轻车型。但要寻找第一款佩戴Super Sports徽章的车辆，您需要更深入地回顾宾利档案。既然宾利带来了那个时代的一辆实例到拉古纳塞卡，拒绝试驾邀请就显得不太礼貌了。</p> <p>宾利在1925年至1927年间生产了18辆<a href="https://www.classicandsportscar.com/features/bentley-super-sports-vintage-hooligan">Super Sports</a>，基于其标准3升车型，并将轴距缩短了9.5英寸（241毫米）。如同今日的Super Sports，这减轻了重量并使其成为响应更灵敏的驾驶者之车。但也很快。散热器更为锥形，因此空气阻力更小，尽管像当时的许多汽车一样，车身外壳取决于车主选择的哪家车身制造商。</p> <figure> <img decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-2-1024x768.jpg" class="ars-gallery-image" alt="A 1926 Bentley Super Sports with bodywork by Jarvis of Wimbledon, seen from the front 3/4" loading="lazy" aria-labelledby="caption-2170060" srcset="https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-2-640x480.jpg 640w, https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-2-980x735.jpg 980w, https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-2-1440x1080.jpg 1440w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"> <figcaption> <div class="caption font-impact dusk:text-gray-300 mb-4 mt-2 inline-flex flex-row items-stretch gap-1 text-base leading-tight text-gray-400 dark:text-gray-300"> <div class="caption-icon bg-[left_top_5px] w-[10px] shrink-0"></div> <div class="caption-content"> “Smoky”的双座车身在当时看来相当紧凑。 </div> </div> </figcaption> </figure> <figure> <img decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-5-1024x768.jpg" class="ars-gallery-image" alt="The cockpit of a Bentley Super Sports" loading="lazy" aria-labelledby="caption-2170057" srcset="https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-5-640x480.jpg 640w, https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-5-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-5-2048x1535.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-5-980x735.jpg 980w, https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1926-Bentley-Super-Sports-5-1440x1080.jpg 1440w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"> <figcaption> <div class="caption font-impact dusk:text-gray-300 mb-4 mt-2 inline-flex flex-row items-stretch gap-1 text-base leading-tight text-gray-400 dark:text-gray-300"> <div class="caption-icon bg-[left_top_5px] w-[10px] shrink-0"></div> <div class="caption-content"> 三速变速箱的换挡杆就在车身外部。不确定如今的国际汽联或美国公路安全局是否允许这种设计。 <span class="caption-credit mt-2 text-xs"> 图片来源： Jonathan Gitlin </span> </div> </div> </figcaption> </figure> <p>如同今日配备Continental GT和新Supersports的车型，原版Super Sports中的3.0升宾利发动机比标准车型更为特别，配备了新活塞、更轻的飞轮、更高的压缩比以及不同的化油器。结合其独特的齿轮比，宾利工厂保证Super Sports能超过100英里/小时（160公里/小时）；而在同一时期行驶于道路上的数百万辆福特T型车，其最高时速则难以突破40英里/小时（64公里/小时）。</p><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/cars/2026/09/this-is-what-a-supercar-was-like-a-century-ago/">阅读完整文章</a></p> <p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/cars/2026/09/this-is-what-a-supercar-was-like-a-century-ago/#comments">评论</a></p>
