The new Continental GTC is powered by the same 575 HP, 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 as the coupe, while an updated four-wheel drive system sends more power to the rear axle than the front (40:60) instead of the previous version’s 50:50 split.

Performance is more than adequate with the GTC accelerating from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 4.8 seconds and reaching a top speed of 314 km/h (195 mph).

In the cabin, Bentley’s open-top model gets a revised dashboard with a brand-new instrument panel and a touch-screen multimedia system in the center console. The British luxury maker also claims to have improved rear space simply by redesigning the front seats.

Sales of the 2012 Bentley Continental GTC will begin at the end of the year, with a starting price of US$212,800 (€153,400) .
