Bentley Continental GT Convertible (06 on) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on 04 March 2008

Last Updated: 16 October 2008

With coupé and saloon versions of the Continental launched in 2003 and 2005 respectively, it was inevitable that Bentley would chop the top from the Continental to make a convertible. The GTC uses the same chassis as the GT coupé, but with the addition of the folding roof mechanism and extra bracing to replace the lost strength, it weighs more. Even at 2.5 tonnes though, the GTC provides near supercar performance thanks to its twin turbo 12-cylinder engine which it shares, together with the four-wheel drive system, with its siblings. From 2009 the weight became less of an issue for the high-performance Speed version - supposedly capable of 195mph with the roof down!

Equipment

While there’s nothing missing from the Continental’s list of standard goodies – satellite navigation, full leather trim, paddles for the auto box, fully electric roof, climate control and cruise control are all present – that doesn't mean the options list is small. You'll pay extra for things like a television, deep pile carpets and drilled alloy pedals (standard on Speed models) plus there are a multitude of different interior trim options allowing you to choose alternate woods and leather colours.
