REVIEW
Bentley introduced their model Continental GTC back in 2005.Benleys majour contibution for car market in 2009 is the upgraded model of Continental GTC.A more generous list of standard features, updated ESP, and a longer list of options are the detail changes.
Standard equipment on the GTC includes twin HID headlights with washer jets, 19-inch wheels and tires, a tire pressure monitoring system, cruise control, keyless entry and ignition.
The GTC is wider than a Range Rover and a half ton heavier than a Dodge Challenger.The Bentley banks through the curves with extreme levels of grip and fastidious body control. Unfortunately, the harder one pushes the two-door through a turn, the more detached the already leaden steering becomes.
As with the other Continentals, the standard car is powered by parent company VW's 6.0 liter W12 twin-turbo engine, good for 552 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and 479 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm. Top speed is down slightly when compared to the coupe, and matches that of the sedan, at 195 mph.
