Bentley Continental GTC
The Continental GTC. Inspired by the Grand Touring tradition of Bentley legend.
Born
of Bentley's breathtaking Continental GT coupé. With the endless power
of a 12-cylinder, 6-litre twin-turbocharged engine urging you from
0-60mph in just 4.8 seconds. And a canopy opening up to the endless
skies in less than 25 seconds. Welcome to convertible motoring at its
exhilarating best.
If you want to understand what motivates
leather fetishists, slip into in a Bentley Continental GTC. Honestly
Dear, I swear I was just sitting here. In fact, NOT just sitting there
something of a problem, nestled as you are in the world's most
comfortable car seats, surveying a dashboard festooned with milled
aluminum vents, chrome ventilation knobs and sapphire crystal gages.
Once
upon a time, back when CO² was considered plant food, Bentley listed
their cars' power as "adequate." Today's Continental GTC is powered by a
552hp 6.0-liter, twin-turbo W-12 engine. With 479 lb-fts of twist on
tap @ 1600 rpm, tickle the GTC's throttle and any concerns about
lower-class genetics are soon erased.
At first, the GTC's engine
rumbles like a distant thunderstorm. It quickly crescendos into a
hardened roar, until it sounds like an F5 tornado bearing down upon a
trailer park. Or, more likely, another gas station.
Put another way, the GTC feels like the freight train from Hell.
