Interior Design and Special Features
Even with the high expectations that come with all Bentley Continental GTC Speed is inside does not disappoint. Metal accents and leather upholstery and rich wood soft is blameless, with the charm of the old order until push-pull, a Breitling watch and the metal contacts and handles. Unfortunately, the infotainment and navigation is old world and Bentley has not changed since the 2004 Continental GTC in the introduction, and his age shows on the screen too small and non-intuitive interface. Fortunately, the iPod interface option is easier to use.
These passengers will probably be satisfied with their leather-wrapped thrones, but in the back seat is another story - there is room for two passengers short, but only if those in front are in a generous mood. Trunk capacity of 9.2 cubic feet is impressive given the GTC Speed is magnified proportions, but it is sufficient to accommodate a standard golf bag with the wood removed.
Driving Impressions
Despite the weight of the 2011 Continental GTC Speed stout and larger dimensions, is surprisingly well-mannered performance. The acceleration is allowed - as it should, with 600 horsepower on tap. The lowered ride height, suspension settings and partially adjustable rear wheels at all can lead more excited than you ever expect in a huge vehicle.
Calculate the beautiful lined with soft top, wind deflector formed by folding the rear seat, raise the windows and wonder how little noise and air to infiltrate the cab of Bentley. 75 mph, you will spoil your hair more than if the air conditioning was turned up.
Remains comfortable ride, despite suggestions to shake rough asphalt cap. The control is lightweight and does not offer any communication, that some other exotic convertible facts, but in the end, GTC Speed is what most expect it to be: sharp, sophisticated convertible bonds tour level of performance has not found a regular GTC.
Price $ 236,100
