Frankfurt Motor Show: 2012 Bentley Continental GTC

One of the most luxurious convertibles in the market, the 2012 Bentley Continental GTC facelift version has appeared in Frankfurt, featuring a sharper, more sculpted styling, Mulsanne-inspired LED headlamps and standard 20" rims—all of which debut on the Continental GT coupe last year.

Like for the GT coupe, the leather-clad interior has been revamped to include a touch-screen infotainment system and thinner front seats said to improve rear room. A new acoustic package enhances cabin insulation. Buyers get to choose from a choice of 17 standard soft-touch leather hide colours and a range of seven veneers.

Bentley has endowed the refreshed GTC with 40 mm wider front/rear tracks, sharper steering response and a sportier suspension setup. The all-wheel drive system has been programmed to deliver torque with a 40/60 rear bias, compared with the current 50/50, to minimise understeer.

The revised GTC is not only 70 kg lighter than before, but its 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 produces an extra 15 hp and 50 Nm. The total output of 575 hp and 700 Nm, sent to all four wheels via an upgraded six-speed automatic gearbox, allows the GTC to complete the century sprint in 4.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 314 km/h.

Seow Yao Han strives to bring you the latest and the most comprehensive information on cars available in Malaysia. But it's never easy for him to talk and write cars in this part of the world because what you lust after is often not what you drive home. When the euphoria of test-driving that branded, super-expensive sports car dies down, he just goes home in his less-than-glamorous ride.
