A single letter can make a big difference. The Bentley Continental GTC embodies everything that you'd associate with the finest experience in open-topped motoring, because it's the soft-topped version which has always attracted more attention and thereby earned higher sales. Karmann has designed the convertible versions of many mainstream car models but is most famous for the VW Beetle, conceived as long ago as 1953. It also worked on the original soft-topped Porsche 911, and the Ford Escort convertible. There was a lot at stake when Karmann was assigned to design and produce the soft top for the Bentley Continental, but VW's backing meant the commitment was there to follow through on the promise of introducing a desirable drop-top version.
So although it shares the 582bhp 12-cylinder engine of its parent company's Phaeton quasi-limousine in its most undiluted form, the Continental also came with an option of a V8, four-litre unit which is tuned at the Crewe factory to deliver a lower overall bhp figure, but give more power low down. And a final, subtle clue that distinguished the V8 from the W12 version was the twin exhaust pipes joined in a figure-of-eight shape. Bentley's head of exterior design, J P Gregory, told Autocar that "the [Continental GTC] is about grand touring. With the roof down this is the Bentley experience ramped up to 11."
