Bentley Continental GTC
Click here to launch the new Bentley Car Configurator
The Bentley Continental GTC. Inspired by the Grand Touring tradition of Bentley legend. Born of Bentley’s breathtaking Bentley 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.
Continental GTC Performance
With its permanent all-wheel drive and its exhilarating power the Bentley Continental GTC is arguably the fastest four-seat convertible in the world.
Engine
The power of the 12-cylinder, 6-litre, twin-turbocharged engine is staggering; the drive, utterly thrilling. Unlike a conventional 12-cylinder engine with two banks of 6-cylinders, the Bentley Continental GTC’s 6-litre engine is configured in four banks of 3 cylinders in a W formation. The result is a shorter and much more compact unit which allows for significantly more interior space and improved dynamics.
But its size is deceptive. Twin turbochargers boost the power output to an astonishing 552bhp (411kW). Its supercar status is underlined by a top speed of 195mph (312km/h) and a 0-60mph time of just 4.8 seconds. The Bentley Continental GTC is built to conquer continents in true Grand Touring tradition, with endless power in reserve.
Torque
With 479 lb-ft (650Nm) of torque available at just above idle, no other convertible offers such an effortless curve of controlled power. Torque is the force that changes a steady state of motion, unlike power, which is the force that maintains it. When you accelerate, it is the torque that you feel changing the rate of motion, not just the power. In a Bentley, torque is very much in the foreground of the driving experience. It is particularly appreciated at low revs, giving an impression of effortlessness, a sense that endless reserves of power remain. The Bentley Continental GTC develops maximum torque of 479 lb-ft (650Nm) at 1600rpm, translating to an immediate sensation of power as the accelerator is touched.
Security
The Bentley Continental GTC clearly warrants sophisticated anti-theft and security standards. Laminated glazing, GPS tracking*, a multi-function alarm system featuring immobilisation, perimetric exterior sensing, interior sensing with the roof up or down, glass break and inclination sensing are just a few of the advanced security features.
