The 2007 GTC Completes Bentley’s Line-Up of its Luxurious Continentals

Derived from the Continental GT Coupe, the Continental GTC will be another impressive addition to Bentley’s line of luxurious fast cars.  Probably one of the smallest Bentley cars to be produced, the 2007 GTC convertible sports car is expected to have a tag price of $189,990.

Without the Bentley classic look, the topless Continental GTC will become a drastically improved super fast car, which focuses on modern technology, car to economy proportions and performance level.

When the Continental GTC was launched in April 2006 at the New York International Automobile Show, this new fast car completes the Bentley Continental Lineup. From the 2003 Continental GT fast car to the 2005 Continental Flying Spur and the 2007 Continental GTC, this impressive Bentley lineup has evolved spectacularly in the world of automobile.

The 2007 GTC new fast cars will be equipped with a state-of-the-art 552 HP twin turbocharged 6-liter W12 engine. This Bentley-inspired back-to-back V6 engine can produce 552 horsepower at 6100 rpm and 480 lbs-ft of torque at 1600 rpm.

Accelerating to a top speed of 195 mph, these hot fast cars of Bentley can rocket from zero to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds. Although the GT Coupe and the GTC measurements are identical, the chopped roof of the 2007 fast new cars allows it to look longer and generally improve its entire aesthetic.

Unlike most of the classic Bentley that uses RWD, the 2007 GTC applies all-wheel-drive to maximize engine power performance and safety. Geared towards handling, this super fast car also features enhanced systems for braking, traction control and stability control.

The Continental GTC new fast car offers the same features as its twin coupe – a six-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox with manual shifting options, continuous air-damping suspension with four distinct control levels,  huge brake discs,

Exclusive features of this fast convertible car include a multi-layer, powered convertible leather-lined top, glass rear window with heating element, overhead interior light, lighter-weighted steering, reduced friction and ventilated pizza pans. The modern electro-hydraulically operated roof folds in within 25 seconds.

Optional add-ons include a cross braces, steel sill support and sturdy windshield pillars, which are all used to counter the unwanted shake experienced when driving the GTC. 

The interior of this elegant fast car is decorated with natural wood veneers, satin metal accents and hand-made leather upholstery. With a large variety of exterior  options such as color palettes, upholstery colors, top designs, aluminum dash panels, seats and door panel stitching, leather and 4-spoke wood steering wheel, premium veneers, alloy fuel filter cap, lambs wool carpet and embossed seat surfaces – the buyers can personalize the appearance of their super fast car.
