Continental GTC A

The Continental GTC A is easily identified, thanks to numerous beautifully crafted exterior features. Its polished chrome, vertical-vaned radiator grille sits atop matt black lower bumper grilles, while ‘A’ badging gleams from the front fenders. Its 21” 10-spoke wheels strike a refined tone, thanks to a combination of bright machined and grey painted spokes.

Inside, sustainable materials complement the finely crafted leather and wood, with recycled Nylon chosen for the carpets and rich, natural wool for the deep pile overmats.

Particular attention has been paid to the fusion of interior and exterior design on display when the roof is open. The open pore Crown Cut Walnut veneers encircle the cabin, seamlessly sweeping out from the ends of the fascia and into the doors. The roof closure mechanism incorporates a low tonneau cover, resulting in an uncommonly streamlined silhouette when the roof is down.
‘A’ badging is prominently featured on the treadplates and the fascia, while ‘A’ embroidery can be seen on the fluted leather seats. With the Colour

Specification included as standard, you can choose from Bentley’s entire range of hide colours, carpet colours and upholstery colour schemes. The four-layer fabric roof can also be commissioned in a range of colours and fabrics, including tweed. When it is closed, it is so secure that it’s easy to forget you’re travelling in a convertible – yet it can be lowered quickly at the touch of a button, even when driving at speeds of up to 30 mph (50 km/h).

The Continental GTC A was built for joy of open-top grand touring. Drive it with the top down and you will enjoy the full force of its classic V8 roar, thanks to a 4.0 litre V8 petrol engine that can deliver 542 bhp (550 PS). In practical terms, that translates into 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.0 seconds) and a maximum speed of 198 mph (318 km/h)*.

Active all-wheel drive offers greater driving confidence, especially when road conditions are less than perfect. You also have the option to add carbon ceramic brakes, for extra stopping power.

To increase stability when cornering hard – without compromising on the car’s ride comfort when cruising – you can opt to add Bentley Dynamic Ride, an electronic anti-roll system. This comes with the addition of four-wheel steering, which gives the car a smaller turning circle and allows for smoother lane changes on the highway.

FRESH AIR, INSIDE AND OUT
The chances are, you won’t always drive this car with the top down. That’s why multi-zone climate control is included, to keep the air temperature optimal at all times, as well as an air ioniser to keep air fresh.

BEYOND COMFORT
Included as standard, the Front Seat Comfort Specification provides electrically adjustable headrests, cushions and side bolsters for the front seats, as well as ventilation and massage functions.

SEAMLESS CONNECTIVITY
The Continental GTC A features a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot to provide internet connectivity for both the car itself and any devices you bring with you. It also features Apple CarPlay*, for simple smartphone integration.

EQUIPPED FOR THE OPEN ROAD
The Touring Specification provides a package of features that make long drives safer and easier, including adaptive cruise control, a head-up display and a night vision camera. It also includes a suite of safety systems, covering many driving situations, from keeping you in lane on the highway to avoiding collisions in the city.

CRAFTSMANSHIP MEETS TECHNOLOGY
The optional Bentley Rotating Display allows the driver to toggle between the central touchscreen and a beautifully crafted three-gauge panel that evokes the golden age of 20th Century motoring. You can also opt to forego even that, as one more rotation reveals a sleek panel of your chosen veneer, for the ultimate in minimalist motoring.

EXQUISITE DETAILING
Every detail has been considered, right down to the styling of the graphics in the driver’s information panel behind the steering wheel, which have been designed with the car’s refined character in mind.
