Spied: 2012 Bentley Continental GTC at the Ring

Bentley is working on the final tests of the Continental GTC, the Convertible version of the Continental GT, as these first photos show taken by our Teamspeed spies. Even if Bentley claims it’s a new generation we still think it’s just a bigger face lift. Just with the recently released Continental GT, the “new” GTC will get a new front with head lights in Mulsanne look, and a new front bumper. And if you look closely you will notice the more upright grille. Also the lines on both front and rear fenders are looking sharper than before. At the back, there will be new rear lights.

Inside there are new seats and an updated dash with a new sat nav. But there are also some news under the hood, the W12 has gotten a refresh with more power and less CO2, and soon you will also be able to order your GTC with a 4.0 liter V8.

 

Its great to see my favorite forum to have their own spies, great work Team.

Speaking about the car, its in the final stages of testing, launch was scheduled on Geneva auto show in 2012 previously, but expect it to be unveiled sooner, sales of Supersport both coupe and convertible are very slow, so they need to boost them.

No major tech changes from coupe, new V8 4.0 will be available since the launch.
