The 2013 Bentley Continental GTC Convertible is a midsize convertible offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $191,400. For that price, it mainly competes with the Aston Martin DB9 Volante. Meanwhile, the Lamborghini Gallardo Convertible and the Ferrari 458 Italia Spider are also potential rivals with even more hefty price tags. Between 2 trims, the Continental GTC Convertible offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 4.0L V8 engine capable of making 500 horsepower and 487 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 567 horsepower-making 6.0L twin-turbocharged W12 engine. The former engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission whereas the latter is connected to a 6-speed automatic transmission by default. The Bentley Continental GTC Convertible reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.7 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.2 seconds with the 6.0L engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Bentley Continental GTC Convertible can manage a combined fuel economy between 14 and 17 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, more than 100 striking colors are offered on the Bentley Continental GTC Convertible.
