Bentley updates Continental GTC for North American debut

Bentley Motors' Continental GTC is making its North American debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show this year, adding updated styling and performance to the company's sporty convertible.


The two-door drop-top gains the muscular refreshed front fascia of its sibling, the 2012 Continental GT coupe, and a upgrade in power over previous models with a 567-horsepower W-12 engine.

The GTC hits 60 miles per hour from standstill in just 4.5 seconds. Bentley says a new Quickshift transmission improves acceleration in the 5,115-pound vehicle while trimming shift times to 200 milliseconds.
