Bentley Continental GTC is the convertible version of the Continental GT.

The Bentley Continental GTC is the second model of the homeless range, after recently presented the Azure (which has no elements in common with Continental, but with previous models from Bentley). The JWG shares some mechanical components with the Volkswagen Phaeton.

The Bentley Continental GTC has four seats, a retractable roof canvas (with three layers of fabric) and a Rear window glass; takes 25 s in conducting the operation complete opening or closing. When folded, the hood is covered in leather upholstery accommodation. With the canopy collapsed, the trunk has a capacity of 235 litres.

The exterior dimensions of the JWG are virtually identical to those in GT. Measuring 4.80 m long, 1.92 m wide and 2.74 m wheelbase. The JWG is 1 cm higher (1.40 m).

Like the coupe from which derives it has a twelve-cylinder engine in 'W' with four valves per cylinder 6.0 litre engine capacity, variable distribution, dual turbocharger and intercooler. It has a maximum power of 559 hp at 6,100 rpm and maximum torque of 650 Nm at 1,600 rpm.

The transmission system is similar to the coupe: permanent total traction (with Torsion differential) and automatic transmission speeds of six (brand ZF), with the possibility of manually operated by cams mounted on the steering column. It weighs 2,495 kg, 110 kg more than the coupe.

With this engine, reaches a maximum speed of 312 kph (WG, 318 mph) and accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 5.1 s (4.8 s WG). With the canopy collapsed, the maximum speed decreases to 306 km / h. This is due to an increase in drag to progress, what happens in all cabriolets when the canopy is removed. By the same token, it is normal for a convertible when you have higher consumption without hood.

There are many alternatives to Bentley Continental GTC. The only convertible with a capacity of four people and more than 400 hp is the Aston Martin DB9 Volante.



The description of the suspension of the Bentley Continental GTC is the same as that of a Volkswagen Phaeton: parallelogram deformable in the two axes. It also has pneumatic springs and a buffer electronically controlled continuously variable hardness.

The driver can manually select between four programmes suspension, ranging from "Comfort" to "Sports". According to the chosen program, adjusting the height of the suspension and the hardness of the buffer. Whatever the chosen program, from 245 mph the suspension is automatically in the lowest position.

The team ventilated disc brakes are very powerful: the discs have a diameter of 405 mm and 335 mm in front behind. Currently, the front brake discs are larger diameter of all cars as standard market (along with other models Bentley).

Inside the Bentley Continental GTC, as is normal in the Bentley models, there are high-quality materials to craft treatment: natural leather and furs, natural wood, polished metal and satin.

The Bentley Continental GTC interior is leather upholstery and seat covers, door panels and dashboard, you can choose from seventeen different colors. There are eight colours and five interior ceiling to the outside. In addition, there are fifteen colors of bodywork.

The front seats of the Bentley Continental GTC are fully adjustable electrically, with memory positions for three seats, steering column and exterior mirrors. They also have control device with electric lumbar massage optional. The occupants of the seats thereafter as Bentley says, are 3 cm more space for their legs than in the coupe.

The interior of the Bentley Continental GTC can be customized further through optional elements of the line exclusive Bentley Mulliner. This model has a great variety of equipment. Some elements that have are operated hood so Electrohydraulics, openness and keyless ignition, air conditioning, Bluetooh connection for mobile phone, steering wheel controls lined with leather and automatic parking brake.

The system of information and entertainment series includes browser with maps on DVD, charger six records in the glove compartment and monitor the operation of the suspension; optionally can have a TV tuner.

As an element of security in case of overturning, carries two arches of steel reinforced that emerge in a split second, if there is a risk of overturning.

It also brings stability control disconnect, xenon headlights for short and long pilots and LED brake lights, alloy wheels, 19 inches with five spokes finished in the colour of the bodywork, checking tire pressure, double output exhaust, front brake calipers with glossy finish, laminated glass in windshields and side windows, automatic windscreen wipers and mirrors external and internal anti-glare, among other things.

To prevent the flow of air entering the passenger compartment, you can put a windbreaks made of aluminum and chrome on the rear seats. This windbreaks can be folded and keep in the trunk when not in use.

As the GT and Flying Spur, wearing a diffuser in the lower body and rear bumpers, to provide better support and stability at high speed.

The Bentley Brooklands is a two-door coupe and four-seater derivative of Azure convertible. Therefore, technically it has nothing to do with the models developed since the brand is owned by Volkswagen (the coupe Continental GT, the convertible Continental GTC saloon and the Continental Flying Spur).


Bentley only intends to produce 550 units of Bentley Brooklands; deliveries to customers will not begin until the first half of 2008.



Unlike the Continental GT, the Bentley Brooklands is a coupe with two doors and silhouette of three volumes.


According to Bentley, there are features in the design taken from the work they did on some old coach Bentley models. One of those cited is that glass for glasses is visually far from the trunk (glass for glasses 'floating' call it). The responsibility for the design of the Bentley Brooklands is Dirk van Braeckel.


As usual in Bentley, and especially in this case due to limited production, customers can choose from a wide range of colors and materials for the interior. One feature of Bentley Brooklands is that the roof is in one piece lengthwise trail with bright elements, which reaches the rear seats. Standard wheels are 20 ", partly because of the diameter of the discs you need.


Technically has elements of Bentley with eight-cylinder engine and rear traction, when Bentley and Rolls-Royce were in the same group, the latest Bentley have twelve cylinders and traction total.

In the case of Bentley Brooklands, the turbocharged V8 engine of 6.7 litres of engine capacity reaches 530 hp.


This power level is a big increase compared with the engine of Azure (457 hp) and lowest in relation to the Arnage (500 hp), but not much relative to their engine capacity if we bear in mind that this is a turbocharged engine.

The engine of Bentley Brooklands is the most powerful V8 that has made for a Bentley model range and reaches 1,050 Nm of maximum torque.

On behalf of Bentley Brooklands is taken from some of the first permanent circuits, which was located in Surrey (England) and was inaugurated in 1907; Bentley won victories in competition at this circuit during years 20 and 30.

The Bentley Continental GT is the first completely new model made by Bentley since this mark belongs to the Volkswagen Group, and also the first new Bentley since 70 years ago.

The Bentley Continental GT is manufactured in the Bentley plant in Crewe (UK), including assembly of the engines. The designer of the bodywork is named Dirk van Braeckel, who has deliberately avoided a design 'retro'.

It is a coupe motor front, two doors and 2 +2 seats. Move the 12-cylinder engine in 'W' also have the Volkswagen Phaeton, but modified by Bentley. The cylinder capacity remains the same -5,998 cm ³ - but has two turbochargers KKK, with which the absolute maximum pressure supply is 1.7 bars.

What has succeeded Bentley Continental GT with these turbochargers blowing soft is a maximum power and maximum torque for its relatively low cylinder capacity: 560 hp and 650 Nm, but with a maximum torque virtually constant throughout the system useful engine. It and 650 Nm at 1,600 rpm and 644 Nm preserved when the engine turns regime maximum power, 6,100 rpm.

The Bentley Continental GT has some unusual features in very powerful turbo engines: its compression ratio is neither low (9 to 1), has a maximum production nor is low (6,300 rpm) and requires no gasoline for 98 NOT under any circumstances.

The Bentley Continental GT gearbox is ZF, and six-speed automatic with sequential controls on the steering wheel. According to Bentley, the Bentley Continental GT is the fastest four-seater in the world.

The Bentley Continental GT maximum speed is not self-limiting, and reaches 306 km / h, has a rear spoiler that deploys when the car was moving fast. It accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 4.7 s (the Mercedes CL 65 AMG makes it in 4.5).

The description of the suspension is the same as that of a Phaeton, parallelogram deformable in the two axes. It also has pneumatic springs and a buffer electronically controlled continuously variable hardness (That does not mean it is the same). It has stability control, disconnect through a button on the dashboard. The series will tire of 19 "in diameter.
Although it has elements in common with the Volkswagen Phaeton is not exactly the same chassis, the Bentley Continental GT has less battle (2,745 mm to 2,881).
It is a four-seater designed for people of high stature, the trunk measured 370 l. Part of the internal volume steals a fuel tank of 90 litres.

The Bentley Continental GT rear seats are folding and offer the possibility of carrying long objects in the interior. The safety equipment is standard in a car together (eight airbags and tensors emergency in all places).

Among the equipment, in addition to the normal range in a car of this price, there are things like a Breitling watch, with the typography of the instrumentation that had the Bentley before World War II.

It will be up for sale gasoline and coupe body in the second half of 2003 for a price without taxes of € 137069. Until now, Bentley Continental GT has received 3,000 deposits account, of which 75 percent are for people who have never owned a Bentley.

The Bentley Arnage receives various improvements and equipment, especially mechanical. The two available engines are now more powerful and are associated with a new gearbox six-speed automatic.


The Bentley Arnage model year 2007 will be on sale with some developments of the engines which had so far. Thus, the Bentley Arnage R and RL have 456 hp (51 more hp) and 870 Nm of torque (versus 835); engine of the Bentley Arnage T gives 507 hp (previously 457 hp) and 1,000 Nm.


The less powerful versions reach a maximum speed of 270 mph, the other 288 km / h. These engines meet the Euro 4 and the American USLEV II.

In both cases this is an eight-cylinder engine in 'V' of 6,753 cm ³ cylinder capacity, the difference in power is because the Bentley Arnage T has two turbo compressors instead of one.


Regarding the previous Bentley Arnage T, the new is the turbocharger smaller inertia, which allows it reaches the maximum pressure at half time. In addition, the profile of the camshaft is different and balancers roller are new.


The Bentley Arnage engine made in aluminum, was designed in 1959. Then had a displacement of 6.25 litre consumed 60 percent more and their emissions were double that of today.


The Bentley Arnage has replaced the gearbox four-speed automatic with a new ZF six. It has three programs running 'Drive', 'Sport' and 'Semi-Automatic ". The latter lets you select marches through longitudinal displacements in the lever for change. The blockade of the torque converter acts on all marches.


The gearbox previous used a separate switchboard of the engine while the new shares the same unit (Bosch) for both mechanical elements. In addition, how 'Sport' of change has not started the 'Sport' of the suspension, as happened until now, but that can be selected independently of each.

The stability and traction control has been revised. It now has a more progressive and allows a patina of the wheels to accelerate with great intensity.

The Bentley Arnage not considered it necessary to change the look of the car. Only there is a new finish for the grille grilles and bumpers, black in the Bentley Arnage T and chrome in the R and RL. The amount has been added rear logo Bentley. There are new colors of bodywork.

In the interior, there is new upholstery and a ruffle different. In addition, it can be regulated 25 mm, both in height and depth. In the table, there is a TFT screen information and a system to monitor tire pressure.

The elongated version (RL) has a series of refrigerated compartment in the rear armrest and a rear chamber to facilitate manoeuvres. There is also a system available for Bluetooth mobile phones.
