Continental GTC Range

The Continental GTC is the ultimate open-top grand tourer. A range of handcrafted convertibles with enough room to comfortably seat four adults, GTC is available with a 4.0 litre V8 engine or a 6.0 litre W12 engine.

GRAND TOURING IN THE OPEN AIR

Impossibly stylish with the top up or down, the Continental GTC is for many, the ultimate convertible – a unique combination of exhilarating performance, exquisite craftsmanship and stunning design. It can be commissioned in any of five different models, giving you a choice of either a thrilling 4.0 litre V8 engine or a supremely powerful 6.0 litre W12 engine.

Models include the quintessential Continental GTC, the head-turning Continental GTC S, the phenomenally powerful Continental GTC Speed, the exquisite Continental GTC Azure and, for the best of all convertible worlds, the Continental GTC Mulliner. Whichever you opt for, you can expect an open-top drive like no other. The Continental GTC is a convertible without equal.

PERFORMANCE

EXQUISITE EXHILARATION

The Continental GTC range offers a choice of two powertrains, each of which delivers breathtaking performance. Refinement matters just as much as raw power, however – which is why every Continental GTC features three-chamber adaptive air suspension, for a smooth, refined ride. Active all-wheel drive monitors traction at all times, redistributing power between the axles in response to changing road conditions. And a four-layer hood screens out virtually all road noise when it is sealed shut.

For many drivers, however, this car is about the thrill of driving with the top down. Models with the V8 engine produce 542 bhp (550 PS), accelerating from zero to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.0 seconds) and on to a top speed of 198 mph (318 km/h). The W12 engine delivers 650 bhp (659 PS), reaching 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds) and ultimately, an incredible top speed of 208 mph (335 km/h). No other convertible combines such thrilling performance with such exquisite craftsmanship and style.

DESIGN

STREAMLINED STYLE

The car’s sleek lines are achieved using superformed aluminium, which lends the bodyshell a virtually seamless appearance. A gleaming front grille is accompanied by exquisite detailing, all around the car, from the cut crystal-style LED matrix headlamps to the taillamps and quad exhausts at the rear.
The car is designed to be equally striking with its four-layer roof open or closed. When sealed shut, it will keep you every bit as insulated as that of the Continental GT coupé. Yet when it drops, it is stowed away neatly to allow a single beautiful design line to sweep around the rear seats.

With the top down on any convertible car, the interior and the exterior become one, so a connection between the two becomes vital. The incredible standard of craftsmanship therefore continues inside, where handcrafted leather upholstery can be commissioned in a wide range of colours, with further options available for embroidery, piping, contrast stitching and more. Traditional, hand-finished veneers include high-gloss and contemporary open-pore finishes, plus technical materials such as carbon fibre.

TECHNOLOGY

INNOVATION FOR ALL SEASON

Unlike many convertibles, the Continental GTC enables you to raise or drop the roof while driving at speeds of up to 30 mph (50 km/h) – so if the weather changes you can react immediately, without stopping the car.
Ventilated seats make summer driving extra pleasurable, while heated armrests, a heated steering wheel and discreet neck warmers make it comfortable to drive with the roof down on cooler days.

The infotainment system is equipped with Apple CarPlay* – part of a suite of connected services. A built-in Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless phone charging are also standard on all models. A range of driver assistance systems are also available, many of which are fitted as standard, depending on the model you choose. Even the headlamps are computer-controlled, using 55 individually controlled LEDs per lamp to vary the shape of the main beam as required, to avoid dazzling other drivers.

PERSONALISATION

A GT CRAFTED FOR YOU

Each model in the Continental GTC range of convertibles can be commissioned with your choice of exterior colour from a standard range, with the option to choose many further colours. With the colour of your car established, the next task is to choose the colour of its fabric roof. There are seven exterior finishes to choose from, including the contemporary Tweed option. Choose the optional Blackline Specification and you can turn silver exterior details such as grilles and wing vents black, for a darker, more stealth-inspired aesthetic.

Inside, the stunning Bentley Rotating Display combines the best of Bentley’s craftsmanship and technology, allowing the touchscreen to revolve out of sight at the touch of a button, and be replaced by three beautiful analogue dials.

There are three incredible sound systems to choose from. Bentley Signature Audio is installed in every model as standard, with the 16-channel, 1,550 watt Bang & Olufsen for Bentley system available as an alternative. For those seeking the ultimate in audiophile sound, there is also the 2,200 watt Naim for Bentley system.
