Vehicle Description
Champion Motors International is Proud To Present this Beautiful
2009 Bentley Done inBeluga Black exterior with Black Leather
interior. The 200 mph GTC Speed is Bentley'smost powerful
convertible ever The latest GTC range is refined and extended wth
twonew models The new GTC delivers enhanced style, comfort and
choice Now, theintroduction of the new GTC range builds on this
success wth a subtle evolution of itsdistinctive style and a range
of technical and feature enhancements benefiting comfortand
customer choice. The appeal of the GTC is further strengthened by
the addition ofthe new 600bhp (610PS) GTC Speed model. It is
Bentley's most powerful convertibleever and inspired by Bentley's
legendary Speed Models' from the 1920s.The new GTC models share a
fresh frontal appearance. The radiator grille is moreupright wth a
more pronounced square edge, accentuating the Bentley profile,
andbolder lower air intake. These latest models are further
distinguished by chromeheadlamp bezels, the availability of two new
exterior paints and a new colour hide. For the standard GTC, new
low-friction dampers provide improved ride comfort. Inaddition, two
significant new options may be specified on both GTC models:
lightweight,fade-resistant, carbon-ceramic brakes, the largest
production passenger car brakes inthe world, and a sophisticated
follow-to-stop Adaptive Cruise Control system wth long-range radar
sensor that monitors traffic ahead and manages throttle and brakes
tomaintain a driver-selected time gap. The GTCs chassis and
exceptionally rigid steel body have proved more than capable
ofcoping wth the power of the 552bhp (560PS) 6-litre W12 engine.
For the newContinental GTC Speed, Bentley's twin-turbocharged W12
now develops 600bhp(610PS) that delivers true 200 mph (322 km/h)
performance, wth the roof up, wthexhilarating, effortless
acceleration. Even wth the roof down the GTC Speed can reach195 mph
(312 km/h).The Continental GTC Speed is visually distinguished by
subtle design enhancementswhich emphasise its higher performance
credentials. At the front, the radiator and lowerair intake grilles
feature a dark tinted matrix as standard. Larger diameter 9.5J x
20-inch, multi-spoke alloy wheels wth Bentley-bespoke Pirelli PZero
ultra-highperformance (HP) tyres, lowered and uprated suspension,
wider twin-rifled exhaust tailpipes and a new boot-mounted lip
spoiler that enhances high speed aerodynamics,reinforce the
sporting character of the Speed model. The GTC Speed 600bhp (610PS)
W12 engine develops 9 per cent more power thanthe standard GTC.
However, it is the 15 per cent increase in torque that
reallydistinguishes the Speed model, which now develops an
impressive output of 750 Nm(553lb ft). This is achieved across
virtually the complete rev range, from just 1700 to5600 rev/min,
delivering that characteristic Bentley wave of torque. The 0-60 mph
sprint is despatched in a mere 4.5 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.8
seconds)and 0-100 mph in 10.6 seconds (0-160 km/h in 10.5
seconds).Engine : 6.0 L., 12-cylinderPower: 600 hpTorque: 553
ft-lbs6-speed AutomaticThe new GTC Speed exemplifies our passion
for creating cars that deliver exceptionalperformance and driving
enjoyment. It is a driver's car which will redefine
peoplesexpectations of what a luxury convertible can achieve.A
luxury convertible wth outstanding ride and handlingThe Continental
GTC's steel body has an exceptionally rigid torsional stiffness of
around30Hz that not only minimises scuttle shake but provides a
very stable platform for thealuminium-intensive suspension system,
optimising its performance. Despite the boostin power and torque
for the GTC Speed model, no changes to the body structure
wererequired. For the 552bhp (560PS) GTC, new low-friction dampers
provide improved secondaryride (the response of the car to poor
road surfaces) and even greater levels of comfort.The GTC Speed has
a range of dynamic enhancements that deliver a more
sporting,open-top Bentley driving experience. The retuned Continous
Damping Control (CDC)system ensures that the body response matches
the inputs from the new sports wheelsand tyres, while improved body
control reduces pitch and roll when corneringenthusiastically. In
addition, stiffer rear axle bushes deliver better axle control and
turn-in response.The GTC Speed's suspension is lowered by 10 mm at
the front and 15 mm at the rearfor improved handling, while the
retuned speed-sensitive steering system and solid-mounted front
subframe, shared wth the standard GTC, benefit steering
response.The wider 9.5J x 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, unique
to the GTC Speed, are fittedwth bespoke 275/35 ZR20 Pirelli PZero
ultra-high performance tyres that provide thecar wth superior grip
as well as sharper teering response and feel.To ensure optimum
aerodynamic balance at speeds up to 200 mph (322 km/h) the newGTC
Speed is fitted wth a discreet spoiler on the trailing edge of the
bootlid. Thisprovides additional downforce and increases the top
speed. For both models, Bentley's carbon-ceramic brakes (CCB) are
offered as a cost option.Larger diameter (420 mm front, 356 mm
rear), lightweight discs and eight-pistoncallipers offer
fade-resistant braking performance wth minimal disc distortion
under highthermal conditions. A 20kg weight saving reduces unsprung
mass and benefits steeringresponse and handling. This braking
system may only be specified wth 20-inchdiameter wheels and are the
largest and most powerful brakes ever fitted to aproduction car.The
standard-fit tyre-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) allows drivers
to select tyretype and speed range parameters. As well as
monitoring pressures, the system warnsdrivers if their speed is too
high for the tyre pressures or if tyre speed ratings areexceeded on
winter tyres.Commenting on the GTC Speed's character, Dr. lrich
Eichhorn, Member of the Board,Engineering, said: "The GTC Speed
offers supercar performance, superb refinement, comfort
andunrivalled craftsmanship all in one car. It perfectly evokes the
spirit of the originalBentley Speed Model' of the 1920s."Subtle
evolution of the GTC's distinctive styleBoth the GTC and GTC Speed
benefit from subtle revisions to their frontal appearance.The
matrix grille is now more vertical and has a more pronounced square
edge thataccentuates the distinctive Bentley profile. A new lower
bumper design wth a widenedair intake reinforces the sporting
stance of both GTC convertibles, complemented bynew chrome headlamp
bezels. The new design also provides a practical benefit
byimproving airflow to the more powerful Speed engine by 14 per
cent. The GTC Speed has a unique set of design cues, notably a
dark-tinted matrix grille tothe upper and lower air intakes, a
black lower bumper valance, wider, rifled exhausttailpipes and
20-inch, silver-painted, multi-spoke alloy wheels. The wheels are
availableas an option wth a special dark tint finish.GTC and GTC
Speed customers have a choice of 17 standard' paint colours
includingtwo new colours (Aquamarine and Blue Crystal).Luxurious
hand-crafted cabinThe cabins of both GTC and GTC Speed are
available wth a choice of 6 natural,unbleached, laser-cut wood
veneers and 17 premium grade leather hides, including thenew
option, Aquamarine.The GTC Speed cabin is based on that of the
Mulliner Driving Specification (a costoption on the standard GTC).
It features diamond quilted hide seats wth embroideredBentley
emblems, a knurled chrome and hide gearlever and a three-spoke
multi-functionsteering wheel wth brushed aluminium switch surround.
These arecomplemented by drilled alloy foot-pedals and Speed' logos
to the polished treadplates.The standard GTC also receives a new
Bentley brake pedal.A range of options give further opportunities
