To afford one you basically either have to sell a kidney or rob a bank. So when someone goes to buy a car that’s worth more than a lot of houses, one rarely thinks of its environmental impact. I’m sure the car company shocked everyone when they announced that the [Bentley Continental](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odyssean-edition) Supersports Convertible would be powered by biofuel.

Don’t worry though, the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible still has all the [luxurious features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prestige-imports) you can shake a stick at. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Luxury Electric Vehicles:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Develop high-end electric cars that combine luxury and sustainability. - **Biofuel-powered Vehicles:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Create cars that run on biofuels derived from sustainable sources, reducing emissions and environmental impact. - **Luxury Car Sustainability:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: integrate eco-friendly technologies and materials into luxury car designs to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Manufacturing:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Innovate manufacturing processes to produce luxury electric vehicles at scale. - **Renewable Energy:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Develop advanced biofuel production techniques to power a range of vehicles and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. - **Green Luxury Goods:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Create a market for sustainable and eco-friendly luxury products, including cars, to cater to the growing demand for environmentally conscious lifestyles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Luxury Vehicle Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odyssean-edition.md) - [Riproaring Convertible Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riproaring-convertible-supercar.md) - [1920s-Inspired Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley-blower-jnr.md) - [Plastic Waste-Powered Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bertone-gb110.md) - [Opulent Custom-Finish SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley.md) - [Hybrid Convertible Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artura-spider.md) - [Luxurious Wooden Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-wooden-surfboard.md) - [Blacked-Out Sportscar Spec Packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mulliner-blackline.md) - [Solar-Powered Sedan Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-eqxx.md)
