Bentley Continental GTC Braves Cold Weather Testing with its Top Down

Bentley is shrugging off freezing temperatures and snow to put its new Continental GTC to the test.

Spy photographers have caught the Bentley Continental GTC undergoing cold weather testing with its top down, wearing less camouflage than ever before. With the new Continental GT coupe having already been introduced earlier this year, there aren’t very many secrets for the convertible counterpart. And like the coupe, the convertible will ride on the new MSB platform, that also underpins the Porsche Panamera.

Expect the drop-top version of the Continental GT to have the same powerplants as the coupe, including an updated version of the 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine with 626 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. We can also look forward to a possible V8 version down the line, as well as a plug-in hybrid model since Bentley is looking into electrification.
