SUPERCAR LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE, WITH THE CONTROL AND REFINEMENT THAT BENTLEY IS FAMED FOR.
The Continental GTC delivers breathtaking performance. Its W12 engine produces 567bhp, with maximum torque of 700Nm available from just 1700rpm for effortless power at the flex of the driver’s right foot. The figures tell their own story: the Continental GTC accelerates from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and can reach a maximum speed of 195mph.
An all-wheel drive powertrain gives the Continental GTC reassuring traction in all conditions. The impressive power of the W12 engine is sent to all four wheels, with a 60:40 rear power delivery bias for optimum handling. As a result, it is not simply one of the fastest convertibles in the world but also one of the most confidence-inspiring, delivering exceptional grip and control.
Look around the Continental GTC’s interior your eye is drawn to clean, crisp lines, highly polished veneer, soft-touch leather surfaces and solid metal. Because this is a Bentley, the speaker grilles, seat belts, seat belt clips and even rear view mirror are all matched to your chosen interior colours.
A sense of contemporary refinement exudes from the Continental GTC’s interior, where the soft-touch leather has been shaped to create clearly defined edges and lines. Duo-tone hides, contrast hand-stitching and deep mirror-gloss veneer provide evidence of the meticulous craftsmanship that Crewe is famous for.
Throughout the interior of the Continental GTC, the finest materials are combined with a lightness of touch that takes Bentley design into the future.
Its infotainment system features are based around a 30GB hard drive, which offers up to 15GB of storage for music as well as a vast mapping databank. The navigation includes; live traffic data*, online access for point-of-interest searches*, rapid access to a continent-full of mapping and even the option of satellite landscape imagery*. The touchscreen also provides real time monitoring of tyre pressure, access to phone contacts and the zoom capability for mapping.
While 15GB should be enough music storage to last you on a round-the-world-tour, you can also play music via an iPod, MP3 player, the car’s own six-disc CD changer or even an SD card. The Naim for Bentley system, incorporating ten custom-built speakers and eight individual DSP modes, is available as an option for the ultimate in audiophile experiences on the move.
Like every Bentley grand tourer, the Continental GTC is a true driver’s car: it is rewarding and exhilarating whether you’re driving around town or across a continent. Above all, it offers supercar performance and handling whatever your mood or road, with no sacrifice of practicality.
The advanced all-wheel drive gives reassuring grip in slippery conditions, while Continuous Damping Control adapts to different conditions and delivers a flat, calm ride.
Inside the cockpit every control, including the intuitive new touchscreen, is within easy reach. Detail touches make a difference for everyday ownership: the door pocket includes a special recess with space for a bottle of water. An enclosed storage area ahead of the gearlever is illuminated with LEDs, ideal for a wallet or phone. And slotting into the centre console, a detachable case for sunglasses or keys that’s personalised and trimmed in the same hide and veneer as the car it belongs to. It’s a delightful finishing touch to a car that’s designed to be driven and enjoyed every day of the year.
For those cool summer evenings or crisp spring mornings, Bentley’s engineers have developed an extra inducement to enjoy hood-down motoring. With the optional neck warmer feature, a discreet vent in the seat just below the headrest provides a stream of warm air to take the chill off your drive. When a convertible looks this good hood down, you’ll want to enjoy it all year round. And with seats like these, you can.
