The 2013 Bentley Continental GTC adopts the latest changes and improvements from the GT coupe's redesign last year and gains a new V8 engine option. Imagine for a moment that you're filthy rich and desire a convertible touring car with the same presence on the road as your investment portfolio has on paper. The 2013 Bentley Continental GTC, the convertible version of the powerful and opulent Continental GT coupe, would likely top that list. As with the GT, the convertible GTC follows Bentley's "too much is almost enough" ethos. But this year, the notion of "less is more" works into the luxury lexicon with the introduction of a smaller V8 engine, offering an alternative to the massive W12 power plant. Downsizing to a smaller twin-turbo V8 may sound like a penalty, but we think it might very well be the better engine. With 500 horsepower, there's no lack of grunt under the hood. The V8 and a new eight-speed automatic transmission combine for better fuel economy than the W12, and the V8 also offers improved throttle response from smaller, quicker-spooling turbos. No matter which engine you choose, the expected levels of opulence and craftsmanship remain blissfully intact, from the GTC's elegant design to its impeccable materials and contemporary electronics. For 2013, the Bentley Continental GTC is available with a new 4.0-liter V8 that produces 500 hp and 487 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic is the only transmission offered. All-wheel drive is standard. Bentley estimates a 0-60-mph time of only 4.7 seconds. The remarkable thing about the 2013 Bentley Continental GTC is how normal it drives. You may be disappointed if you're expecting an exotic event car for weekends, but if you're looking for an exquisitely crafted convertible for your daily drive or weekend road trips, this car is for you. Its superior visibility, buttoned-down ride and composed handling make driving both effortless and involving. The new V8 is no slouch, either. It manages to improve fuel economy by a generous 30 percent and its performance is just as lively as the W12. Add to that a more aggressive growl, and the V8 may become the engine of choice. As with any Bentley, the Continental GTC's cabin features only the finest available materials. From supple leather that covers most surfaces to the rich wood veneers crafted in Bentley's dedicated hand-crafted woodworking shop, the interior is an homage to old-world craftsmanship that truly defines "world class." High-tech convenience contrasts with old-world charm, however, keeping the Continental GTC competitive with its contemporaries. The infotainment touchscreen interface is clear and its operation intuitive.
