Bentley is looking to
ensure that it remains the choice of multi-millionaires and is currently
developing an all-new generation Continental GTC. Spied testing with very
little camouflage and simply a blue and black wrap in the Arctic Circle, the
new Bentley Continental GTC appears to be extremely close to celebrating its
global premiere.
From a styling perspective, the car looks exactly
the same as the regular Continental GT except for its adoption of a folding
softop. With that in mind, it looks considerably sportier and more purposeful
than the outgoing model.
Of more importance is what sits beneath the
bodywork. Power will be sourced from the same 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine
as the hardtop, producing an identical 626 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. That
should result in a 0-100 km/h time of roughly 4 seconds, with the kind
help of the permanent all-wheel drive system.
In a bid to ensure that the new Continental GTC can
steal customers away from Mercedes, the British marque will adorn its cabin
with the finest materials available, including a selection of rare and
expensive wooden veneers.
