Bentley Continental GTC Review

Car Summary
Experience the power, speed and prestige of an incredible sports car when you hire a Bentley Continental GTC V8 S. A luxurious four-seat supercar, the Bentley Continental GTC offers incredible levels of performance and the exhilaration of open-top driving.
Fitted with an immense twin-turbo 4.0L V8 engine that produces 521 bhp and 68 0Nm of torque, the Bentley Continental GTC V8 S shoots from 0-100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 307 km/h.
A new variable displacement system and 8-speed transmission combine lower emissions with greater output, and an advanced all-wheel drive power train distributes the impressive power to all four wheels with a 60:40 rear bias for superb handling. The drive is not only superfast but incredibly smooth, and with excellent grip and control on the road, this is not only one of the fastest cabriolets out there, it is one of the most confidence-inspiring.
The striking Bentley Continental GTC will attract admiration wherever it travels, with a smooth, sweeping bodyline and muscular rear, as well as distinctive large inner headlamps and iconic Bentley front grille. Bentley’s exquisite styling continues inside the driver focussed cockpit, with satin-chrome dials, ‘cobra’ style seats and all-leather soft-touch surfaces.
The seats are designed for supreme comfort and safety, with heating and ventilation, as well as a seat massage system available for complete relaxation on long journeys. The soft-top hood is cleverly designed to provide superb insulation with the top up, so much so you’ll often feel like you are travelling in a coupe rather than an soft-top sports car, and Bentley’s premium grand-tourer includes an advanced infotainment system, with a 30GB hard drive and iPod and MP3 connectivity. An excellent Naim™ for Bentley system incorporates ten custom-built speakers to provide superb sound quality in the cabin, even with the top down.
Reviews“More power for the posh Bentley Continental GT transforms it into a true performance car”
While the large 6.0L W12 Bentley Continental GT Continental has proved more popular than the V8 model in the past, the new V8 S promises to change this with as much power and more agility than the flagship W12. This is a heavy car that feels incredibly light on the road, with four-wheel drive providing plenty of grip, and responsive steering for additional control. Beautifully built and equipped with a high level of kit, the Continental GT Convertible includes an 8-inch touch screen infotainment system and electric leather seats, and the ride is quiet and refined with the top up, and equally comfortable with the top down.
“The engineers have done an excellent job at not only making the GT soft-top’s operation smooth and reasonably fast, but also in keeping the noise levels to the sort of ambience you would expect of the hardtop coupe”
With three layers of fabric to reduce noise in the cabin and a beautiful leather and wood interior finished by hand, the Bentley Continental GT V8 S reflects the quality and standard we expect of a British made luxury car. It can carry four passengers, with the front seats tailored for executive comfort and safety, and an all-wheel-drive system with huge brakes and advanced electronic stability controls that enable you to hit high speeds with confidence. This car has been engineered for safety, scoring high marks in a range of crash tests across the world.
