| 2013 Bentley Continental GTC V8 |
The Bentley Continental GTC V8 Although closely related to the GT, the Continental GTC V8 has its own distinct character. To call the Continental GTC V8 a convertible understates its capabilities. It is a sensational open tourer and a practical year round proposition. For the owner of a Continental GTC V8, one of the incidental pleasures of hood down motoring is the chance to enjoy the V8’s mechanical symphony in full surround sound.

Bentley’s new 4.0 litre V8 engine has an inspiring repertoire of sounds, from the deep V8 burble at low engine speeds to the growl and rasp that swell in crescendo as the throttle is pressed further towards the floor. This exceptional new 500bhp Bentley engine can hurtle the GTC V8 from standstill to 60mph in just 4.7 seconds with a compelling surge of power. And for the owner of a Continental GTC V8, one of the incidental pleasures of hood-down motoring is the chance to enjoy the V8’s mechanical
symphony in full surround sound.
