Bentley Shows The New Continental GTC

Last year Bentley launched the second generation Continental GT at the Paris Motor Show. Now, a year later, the all-new GTC has been unveiled at Frankfurt.

It’s undergone a similar, subtle change to the GT. The rear track is wider, as is the front, the steering and suspension has been retuned for better handling. Which is a bonus considering the power has been increased to 575hp...The automatic gearbox is now faster, too.

Convertibles tend to be rather noisy with the hood up, not the case with the GTC – acoustic glass and underbody panels compliment the multi-layered roof and keep things silent. It’ll be on sale later this year, with prices starting at $212,800.

 

thats a win

 

I normally hate gray interiors on silver cars but this looks stunning! I love the muscular rear fenders.

 

any rear shots?

Looks great.

 

Looks good indeed! But to me it is no more than a facelift....

I don't like the front mulsanne-ish end. Why did they made it like that? The olde design was better. At least in the front. I would go anytime for the previous model.
