Bentley Continental GTC 2019

Compared with the broader Continental timeline, the GTC shows the shift into the modern generation launched in 2003. For that period, the dossier highlights the arrival of W12 and V8 engines, along with more advanced technologies such as adaptive air suspension and a 48-volt roll control system. As the convertible version, the GTC builds on that contemporary basis while adding open-air usability. For 2019, it should therefore be understood mainly as a more open interpretation of the modern Continental, with comfort, technical sophistication, and driving enjoyment as the key themes.

Within the modern Continental family, several variants have clearly defined roles. The Continental GT is the starting point of the modern generation, with a refined grand touring approach. The Continental GTC, introduced in 2005, is the convertible version and provides open-air driving. The Flying Spur, also launched in 2005, follows a luxury sedan formula focused on comfort. Finally, the Supersports, introduced in 2009, represents the most performance-oriented direction in the range. In 2019, the GTC therefore stands out less for extreme performance and more for its open character and elegant grand touring position.
