Default Bentley Continental GTC





After the GT and Flying Spur this is GTC the next version of the Bentley Continental series. Just like the other versions the convertible is powered by the VW W12 biturbo with 560bhp. This will speed the car up to 309 km/h. Instead of most of the cabriolets these days, the GTC is fitted with a soft top instead of a folding metal hard top. The car will be for sale at the end of 2006.

Hmmm...it was a question of time. This is going to be the new gangsta-wanabee copnvertible after the Azzure :/ I can already see this car (with chrome dubs naturally) starring in numerous rap musicvideos. And stylingwise...it has become a bit boring...we have a 2 door coupe, 4 door saloon and now a convertible that all look exactly the same.

And I doubt the car would reach/be stable at 309km/h with a soft top.

A big minus from me

I wonder if Ferrari will complain about the GTC name. Considering they have got the 575 GTC.

Still I guess they have talked it through and will keep it this way, because I just can't imagine that someone (at Bentley) didn't know about the Ferrari.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any uglier... Actually, maybe the ugliness isn't the problem - it's more the lack of personality...
