The Bentley Continental GTC is the convertible version of their
successful Continental GT coupe. The luxury 2+2 convertible
completes the Bentley Continental model range consisting of
the Continental GT from 2003, and Continental Flying Spur from
2005.
The Continental GTC has an impressive top speed in excess of
190mph (304 km/h), similar to the Continental GT, and uses a
sophisticated all-wheel drive system driven by a state of the
art W12 engine.
Like all Bentley motor cars the interior of the new Continental
GTC displays a high level of craftsmanship, utilising natural
wood veneers and leather hides of the finest quality. The convertible
soft top has a heated rear glass window and when down stores
neatly away leaving plenty of room for the rear passengers and
luggage.
Bentley’s design director Dirk van Braeckel talking about
the Continental GT says: "With the Continental GTC we set
out to achieve a style that is both contemporary and elegant
but with the sporting stance of a true performance car. We also
wanted to ensure that the Continental GTC looks just as beautiful
with the roof up as it does when it’s down".
Bentley hopes the Continental GTC will attract new customers
who desire a luxury, sports convertible, a market sector they
had previously unexplored, while also giving previous Bentley
owners the chance to upgrade their hardtop GT's.
A more powerful version of the GTC, the Continental
GTC Speed was revealed in 2009.
