Overview

The 2014 Bentley Continental GTC Convertible is a midsize convertible offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $195,200. For that price, it mainly competes with the Aston Martin DB9 Volante, and the Maserati GranTurismo MC Convertible. Between 3 trims, the Bentley Continental GTC Convertible offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 4.0L V8 engine capable of making 500 horsepower and 487 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 567 horsepower-making 6.0L twin-turbocharged W12 engine. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automated transmission. The Bentley Continental GTC Convertible reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.2 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.1 seconds with the 6.0L engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Bentley Continental GTC Convertible can manage a combined fuel economy between 15 and 18 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 105 striking colors the Bentley Continental GTC Convertible comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

It would be best to go with the W12-equipped GTC, which offers a wide range of driver assist features as well as convenience features. Combine it with the Convenience package to get a privacy handset, a Naim sound system, ventilated and massaging front seats, and deep pile floor mats. If you decide to bring home the base V8 trim, we reckon you wouldn’t be missing much in terms of performance since the W12 only happens to be a 0.1 seconds faster.
