Product Overview

Bentley Continental GTC Mk2 is a large luxury convertible in production from 2011 to 2018. It was available with a range of V8 and W12 engines that displaced 4.0 to 6.0 liters paired to an 8-speed ZF 8HP automatic transmission. AWD is standard.
Compared to the original Continental GTC, the Mk2 introduced several new tunes of the bi-turbo W12 and marked the debut of a V8-powered variant. The car has a less rounded, more aggressive styling.

Reviewer score 88% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from carmagazine have found:
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.
Pros
  • Gorgeous interior
  • Superb ride quality
  • Fantastic infotainment system
Cons
  • Lacklustre handling
  • Not the most fun to drive
