  "account": "Bentley arranged transportation and lodging for Ars to test their latest model, the Supersports. This stripped-down version of the Bentley lineup was created by engineers who wanted to experiment with an engine-free, zero-weight vehicle. The Supersports concept eschewed not only the hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive system but also the rear seating, resulting in a much lighter car. This idea isn't entirely new to the automotive world; Porsche has a reputation for creating lightweight, track-focused road cars based on their racing vehicles and profiting from their sales.",
