Reviewer score 88%The new Conti GTC is sharper and less blobby than its predecessor. Google Earth-based sat-nav and infotainment is a big leap from the clunky set-up in the old Bentley cabrio. A convertible of this near-five metre length, and two-and-a-half tonne weight, just screams of largesse in every sense of the word.
