The Bentley convertible that is tailor-made for you
Since 1919, Bentley has been defining how luxury motors should be made: a focus on engineering and laser sharp commitment to design and comfort. If you are a car enthusiast who likes sleek cars to drive, you will not go wrong with this dazzling offering from Bentley and Signature Car Hire has the Bentley GTC available for car hire at your convenience in either black with cream interior as pictured here or in graphite with black interior.
Legacy: What makes the Bentley GTC a dream to drive
W.O Bentley famously said that his vision in motoring was 'to build a good car, a fast car, the best in the class'. From the outset, the black exterior of our Bentley model ticks the 'good car' box without any trouble: it is a convertible, a model coveted by many drivers all year round. As an automatic transmission car, the Bentley GTC lends itself beautifully to a solo drive if you are travelling around the country for a road trip. However, this Bentley supercar is spacious so perfect for two passengers, which will be great for weekend car hire.
The legacy W.O Bentley left from the 24 hour Le Mans race in 1924 was that motor cars should have a racing edge to them yet in the spirit of luxury. The soft purr of this 6 litre W12 engine makes this car an elegant option for your driving experience because Bentley Motors have not only created a good car, but an exceptional supercar with technical abilities worthy of W.O Bentley's engineering creativity. From the 0-60 mph acceleration time of just 4.8 seconds, a 552 BHP power to an exciting torque of 479, our Bentley GTC in black is the car for drivers who perform at optimal levels at all times. If you are someone who loves to win just like the iconic founder of Bentley Motors, this is the vehicle that will get you to your destination at all times in luxury and style.
Style: Why the interior of this Bentley supercar never fails to charm
Once you step inside the Bentley GTC, you will be surrounded by a leather cream interior which would suit drivers who appreciate elegance in their cars. As a two-seater car, the inside of this Bentley model is plush and laden with intricate details handmade with a great deal of care and passion to get everything just right for you and your passenger. Before you press the pedal to start your journey, take a look at the Bentley badge emblem emblazoned on the pedal. This type of subtle style flourish is continued on all corners of the cabin of the Bentley GTC, including a Burr Walnut premium veneer on the fascia. Take note of the six CD changer which is incorporated into the glove compartment of the car for a discreet option to change the music in the car. As you turn the steering wheel during your journey, the 4-spoke design of the steering wheel is another reminder of why the design of the Bentley GTC is the best in the class, just as W.O Bentley's vision wanted to achieve.

Engine
The power of the 12-cylinder, 6-litre, twin-turbocharged engine is staggering; the drive, utterly thrilling.
Unlike a conventional 12-cylinder engine with two banks of 6-cylinders, the Continental GTC’s 6-litre engine is configured in four banks of 3 cylinders in a W formation. The result is a shorter and much more compact unit which allows for significantly more interior space and improved dynamics.
But its size is deceptive. Twin turbochargers boost the power output to an astonishing 552bhp (411kW). Its supercar status is underlined by a top speed of 195mph (312km/h) and a 0-60mph time of just 4.8 seconds. The Continental GTC is built to conquer continents in true Grand Touring tradition, with endless power in reserve.
Torque
With 479 lb-ft (650Nm) of torque available at just above idle, no other convertible offers such an effortless curve of controlled power.
Torque is the force that changes a steady state of motion, unlike power, which is the force that maintains it. When you accelerate, it is the torque that you feel changing the rate of motion, not just the power. In a Bentley, torque is very much in the foreground of the driving experience. It is particularly appreciated at low revs, giving an impression of effortlessness, a sense that endless reserves of power remain.
The Continental GTC develops maximum torque of 479 lb-ft (650Nm) at 1600rpm, translating to an immediate sensation of power as the accelerator is touched.
Space
The unique design of the W12 engine liberates an exceptional amount of cabin space. The shorter engine configuration, together with a fuel tank under the floor of the car gave the Continental design team the unprecedented luxury of space. Not only does the Continental GTC seat four adults in perfect comfort and style, the generous boot space was designed with practicality in mind with an impressive 260 litres to play with.
Craftmanship - The Cabin
A handcrafted sanctuary designed to heighten the ultimate in Grand Touring experiences. Traditional features like the bulls-eye air vents and the organ stop controls are exquisitely framed by wood veneers. Premium grade leather hide is also employed to soft surfaces, including the trim around the sporting gear selector and hand-stitched steering wheel. Knurled brightware controls and a choice of premium wood veneers exemplify the craftsman’s touch.
