The Continental GTC shares the familiar face of the Continental family; the transformation did not change the GT coupé lines and shape; the side view and the rear view confirm the cleaness and the smoothness of the body volumes: the transition between the rear fenders and the deck lid appears as much natural as in the Continental GT.
The GTC results in a logical ad mìperfect extension of the Continental model range.
Speaking about the design personality of the new Continental GTC, Bentley’s design director Dirk van Braeckel explains:
“With the Continental GTC we set out to achieve a style that is both contemporary and elegant but with the sporting stance of a true performance car. We also wanted to ensure that the Continental GTC looks just as beautiful with the roof up as it does when it’s down.
In common with its stable mates, the interior of the new Continental GTC provides an unrivalled standard of craftsmanship, utilising natural wood veneers and leather hides of the finest quality.
Dirk van Braeckel continues: “In keeping with the Bentley tradition, the new Continental GTC has a soft fabric roof and heated glass rear screen. When stowed below its hide-covered tonneau, efficient packaging ensures excellent space for both rear passengers and their luggage.”
The Continental GTC becomes the second convertible to grace the current Bentley range. It follows the recently announced return of the evocative Azure name for Bentley’s Arnage-derived flagship four-seater convertible which goes on sale in Spring 2006.
