The Model: Coming under new ownership, Volkswagen decided to let
Bentley build its own market niche based on the rich racing
heritage the marque had enjoyed before becoming a part of
Rolls-Royce. While there had been several performance Saloons such
as the Turbo R, a more sporting look was sought, hence the
Continental GT coupe. In the fall of 2005, a convertible concept of
this car was presented and a year later put into production as the
Continental GTC. It was an immediate success. Using the same drive
train and suspension set-up, fined tuned for the convertible body,
these British born open cars took performance, style, speed and
elegance to new heights. The fabric soft-top convertible roofs were
produced for Bentley by Karmann in Germany, and a vast amount of
German technology was applied to the bodies and chassis which are
still being produced by the finest craftsmen in the industry. With
0-to-60 times in the 5.0 second range, the GTC is the only way to
do some neck-snapping acceleration while being completely
surrounded in the lap of luxury.
The Car: Considered by many, the Continental GTC is about the best
bang for your performance buck wherever you go. In pristine
condition the example we are proud to offer is finished in its
factory applied dark Pewter Gray metallic with the seats finished
in matching dark gray leather with a special edition Diamond
Pleated stitching. The black soft top is clean and shows no wear or
tear. In the middle of the passenger compartment is the
entertainment, navigation and control center, surround by rich
burled walnut veneer. As one should expect in car of this stature,
every conceivable amenity is included, from power everything to a
comforting climate control system no matter what the outside
weather presents. Riding on the factory 19" Alloy 7-spoke wheels,
there is plenty of tread left on those Pirelli P-Zero tires for
unlimited Spring time cruising. Showing just over 21,000 miles, the
consignor tells us this car has been maintained since new by marque
specialist and all required servicing has been completed. Carefree,
trouble-free, this beautiful Continental GTC from Bentley is a
performance vehicle that deserves a second look and then a hand in
the air.
