With the help of its parent company, Volkswagen, the Bentley brand competed at, and was victorious in the 2003 LeMans 24-Hours with its Speed 8 prototype. They were able to almost immediately shed its stuffy image and established it as a contemporary luxury coachbuilder that was also performance oriented.

With that, the Bentley Continental GTC is more than just a high-class convertible. It's a high-performance open car that manages to provide every bit of luxury you'd expect in a traditional Bentley, only now with more boldness and agility with its 6.0-liter, 552-hp W-12 twin-turbo engine. This powerful unit is mated to a six-speed automatic, has full-time all-wheel drive and is equipped in a manner that will not disappoint even the most discriminating enthusiast.
