"Sharp to see and even better to drive, the Bentley Continental GTC is a great British Grand Tourer."

If you are looking for a super-fast, super-luxury grand tourer that offers wind-in-the-hair thrills with an iconic badge on the nose, the Bentley Continental GTC is the answer. It could cost upwards of £ 150,000 - with a couple of choices, it is not difficult to spend more than 0,000 £ on the top spec GTC Speed ​​-. But few cars, offer so much performance and image

Although the big 6.0-liter W12 engine is still available, most buyers opt for the turbo 4.0-liter V8 engines. That's because they hardly slower and Bentley claims as much as 26mpg is possible. In a car that weighs more than two tons, that's going pretty good. Of course there will always be those who be looking for the ultimate, which is the 203 hours Miles Continental GTC Speed ​​in this case -. The fastest four-seater convertible in the world

Although this effectively is the second generation of the Continental GTC, says it still true to the sleek, handsome styling of the original. It is reasonable spacious inside, although the two rear seats are really very short distances to travel only for children or adults, and the boat is quite large by the standards of the cars as they race.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs

1.4 / 5

fuel and maintenance costs are likely to be very high

of 4.0-liter V8 engines more fuel efficient than the older 6.0-liter W12 engine in range could be, but do not think everyone will be cheap of them to run. Bentley says that the V8 models can cover around 26mpg, but low-20 is really as much as you can expect.

The W12 will consume all 15 to 18 miles per gallon unleaded. Vehicle tax is as expensive as it gets in about. V8 models will set you back £ 40 a year, while W12 models £ 505 costs per year

not expect service to be cheap either, as the Bentley-high-performance engines and transmissions have to be careful attention to a relatively regular basis.

motors, drive & Performance

3.3 / 5

Big Bentley offers a thrilling ride for such a heavy car

Regardless of which version of the Continental GTC you decide which power despite more than the coupe weighing is exceptional. The "slowest" model is the Continental GTC V8 which takes accelerate from 0-62mph 5.0 seconds and will not run out of breath to 187 mph. And it's a wonderful sound, while he does it. Although it is the cheapest model, this type of performance they. At the top table

Nevertheless, if you want more, there is the Continental GTC V8 S, the output of 507bhp increases looks to 528bhp and cuts the 0-62mph time to 4.7 seconds while the top speed to 191 mph stretching. But it is the suspension tweaks that really sets the car apart, making it even more fun to drive at speed. It will cost you a further £ 10,000, but it is worth the extra value.

against this kind of power, the W12 models are harder to justify. The standard GTC W12 betters little impact on performance "V8 S, but with greater fuel costs, a larger price tag and a soundtrack, as provided by the V8 available not quite as impressive, it is hard to see why you would choose it . this is not something you could say about the speed GTC speed with its tire-shredding 635bhp, 4.4 seconds 0-62mph time and 203 mph.

Whichever model you choose, steering is precise and there are four different driving "modes" that allow you tune the suspension between comfort and sharp handling. Nevertheless, it's a big car and can feel a bit awkward on narrow country roads. There are masses of grip by the giant tires made cars available with all-wheel drive setup.

How to offer sharp ride

most high-end cars, you can use the Continental customize GTC suspension by select one of four driving modes. In its comfortable environment, it offers a magic carpet ride over broken road surfaces, but still feel to drive sporty. In absolute terms, the Continental GT coupe is slightly more comfortable, but not enough, because it's a deal-breaker

There is very little noise from the street, and with the roof up, no wind noise either. - Thanks to the three-layer structure and impressive sound roof. What's more, the steady and even make power output from both the V8 and W12 engine this car very easy to drive. the courses the eight-speed automatic transmission shifts very smoothly and quickly, and makes the most of the Bentley bags of power -. Available At any speed

As you would expect from a Bentley, the interior is very luxurious. Go get the GTC Speed ​​and the Mulliner package as standard, which includes seats hand-stitched quilted leather. But even if you do not, you will still enjoy a lot of wood trim, chrome knobs, thick carpets and a Breitling watch into the dashboard. As you would expect from a £ 150,000-plus car, it wants for very little when it comes to standard equipment.

practicality & trunk

2.6 / 5

The boots is small and the rear seats are only large enough for children

Despite its billing as a Grand Tourer, you will need to travel light, if you have a plan cross-continental jaunt , The boat measures just 235 liters - less space than you would find in a Ford Fiesta - but it is still larger than the boat would see an Aston Martin Vantage or Mercedes-AMG GT. In contrast to these cars, you get a pair of rear seats, although suitable really only for children -. Or extra baggage

The two-seater, there is hardly a better convertibles long distances in traveling. the seats fit in many different ways, the interior is from wind gusts at speed largely free and there is plenty of storage space in the dashboard and the door pockets.

If you want to travel on unfamiliar roads regularly, the latest cars have a new Google Maps-based satellite navigation system that provides stunning accuracy - although the sheer size of it runs it more in the long highway, as narrow urban streets makes.

reliability and safety

hand Standards

Bentley engines are developed in-house, with the help of the Volkswagen group and parent company Audi. They are widely used and are considered highly reliable. The handmade Continental GTC is finished to the highest standards, so there are no complaints about the quality - with a focus on first-class materials and sumptuous luxury. With it's sturdy, aluminum body much airbags and four-wheel drive is expected the security than to be first class.

price, price-performance ratio and options

1.8 / 5

Expensive but done exceptionally well

There is no way to describe a car like the Bentley Continental GTC as being good value for money. The entry as much as a small house V8 costs, and ticking a few boxes on the options list, the list price spiral can send. However, this side of a Rolls-Royce Phantom, very little comes close to the interior build quality and first-class materials; the sense of occasion when undeniable behind the wheel.

The GTC Speed ​​model is almost £ 20k ​​more than the standard GTC W12 sit, but you get the extra performance, sporty suspension, beautiful quilted leather hand-sewn, 21-inch alloy wheels and a special body kit. Technology options such as a WiFi hotspot, connecting to your movile devices, can also be incorporated.

Used values ​​are relatively strong, but the first generation of the car has been around in the UK since 04, so there are many used examples of the sale on the used market. Maintenance is expensive, as the day-to-day operations are the running costs - but if you can afford the price list, it is unlikely that it will be to keep on the road much of a concern.

" Under full throttle, there is no denying the thrill of power on offer Although to heavier 100kg than the standard coupe and 0.1 seconds 60mph slower the car feels just as fast -. if not a little faster if you roof the fold down. "

"the replacement for the original Continental GTC, which for us it was already 80 percent new or revised, so modifications can be subtle since 06, but they are very extensive. Cosmetically it looks sharper with new fold edges to the bodysides, while inside there are now more rear legroom and improvements to the Infotainment system. the swaths of wasteful wood and leather remain. "

"the new GTC is bolder and more aggressive than the old model, with sharper angles and larger wheels -. 20 inches as with 21-inch wheels as an option Standard rear takes styling cues from the Mulsanne, and the front end is with LED running lights "jeweled" headlights ".
