As said it has one of the best features available on board. Bentley Continental GTC is powered by a responsive 6-litre, twin-turbo W12 engine that generates an awesome power output of 552 bhp with a maximum torque of 650Nm at 1600rpm. Power of the engine is transferred through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels of the car.

The Judge says
Perfect car for a gateway and to have a vocational time. The roofless car looks good and handles great at high speeds. Good choice but other options are available too.
