Bentley Continental GTC
The GTC is the convertible model completing the Continental range alongside the GT coupe and four-door Flying Spur. Bentley chose to use the traditional soft roof for the car when many manufacturers are choosing to use sophisticated folding hard tops. The GTC benefits from this decision in looks, space and in weight. The roof folds away neatly below a slick leather tonneau cover and doesn’t infringe too much on luggage space. The design of the car is unaffected by the need to stow a roof and with hood up or down it has the looks of an elegant drophead grand tourer.
The added chassis reinforcements to maintain stiffness have had little effect on performance. As with the GT Coupe the convertible has the Volkswagen developed 6 litre W12 engine with twin turbos driving all four wheels. The 552 break horse power can propel the car to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 195 mph.
The Bentley Continental GTC was launched to the public at the 2006 British International Motor Show.
