Cool What Do You Think Of The Bentley Continental GTC?

Well I Personally Think That They Have Ruined The GT By Making It Into A Convertible... What Do You People Think?

I think it looks pretty damn good.


Not a agressive bone in it's body but looks an awesome luxury cruiser.

I like that colour combo too. Silver/Terracotta (spl?) is always awesome.


Looks great in my opinion. What about with the top up? Throw that pic up.

I though it had a Bi-Turbo W12?

Am I wrong here?

I think it looks even better than the Coupe, as long as the roof is down. But that goes with most other convetables.

Think its Fugly, the GT should have never been made, it lowered Bentleys prestige reputation, it was on the same level as rolls royce

I don't like it that much. I'm not a fan of convertibles though so that might be why.

Ruined? Did I hear you correctly?

I have to say I don't agree with that! I think the car is stunning as a coupé, and they certainly haven't spoiled it much (if at all) by turning into a convertible. It has the classic 'Bentley' line, which makes it look stately and gives it true road presence. Indeed, the only disadvantage with it is its chassis and engine, whihc may both be very good, but are most indubitably NOT Bentley. They're Volkswagen (But I'd still have one over almost anything else).
