Bentley Continental GT Convertible, Exclusive

British luxury sports has been updated this year, although for the convertible version still relies on the model of 2015. The 

Exterior design of 

The Continental GT is characterized by offering the perfect union between sportiness, luxury and elegance. With the convertible version it adds a plus of exclusivity, something of which it was not exactly lacking.

The front is the most recognizable of the car, with a large grille surrounded by four round spotlights. The hood is very horizontal, which achieves that imposing air that these types of cars look for.

On the side it is more sporty than the coupe version, as it makes the car appear lower and more aerodynamic due to the soft top, which is perfectly tucked under some protectors when we want to enjoy the wind in our faces.

The rear is more stately and conservative, which prevents us from forgetting that we are in a Bentley. The rear track is very wide and the wheel arches are huge, which gives it a sporty and muscular look; it is beautiful from every angle.

Interior design and habitability

The interior design does not change compared to the coupe version, with a dashboard that mixes the classic style that the chrome gives it with a fairly modern design. The multi-function display and a sporty-cut steering wheel break with what you expect from a Bentley, but fix it with a beautiful analog watch and leather, a lot of leather.

The quality of the cabin borders on the honor plate. Few cars can come close to the exquisiteness that runs through each piece of the interior of a Bentley, only Rolls-Royce plays in that league, and far are those that for almost all are cars of the highest quality such as a Mercedes S-Class or an Audi A8.

The rear seats are comfortable for people not very tall and access to them is relatively easy thanks to the huge front doors. The trunk left in the 

The list of options, as you can imagine, is overwhelming. It has countless extras, capable of pleasing the most demanding buyer, but everything has a price that removes the hiccups.

For example, the rugs with contrasting seams cost 3,882 euros, if you want the Pearlescent paint with two layers you will pay 12,761 euros, and if you want it with three layers, 16,813 euros …

Engines and dynamics

There are currently three power levels for the 

Any of the three options give brilliant performance and all pass the top speed of 300 km / h but, being a convertible, the improvement in the sound of the W12 is considerable and you will enjoy like a child raising the revolutions with the roof folded.

But its engine and sporty appearance cannot lead us to confusion. Its handling is not comparable to a Porsche 911, mainly because it weighs a ton more than the German and because it is a very large car for these purposes.

It is easy to go with him very fast and agile, but on a circuit it feels heavy and slow in reactions. In return, it is an exceptional road, with a ride comfort similar to that of an entire Audi A8, and if you are not aware of the speedometer it is easy to get more than one fine for speeding.

Price and conclusion

Part of 241,009 euros, a price lower than that of an Aston Martin Vanquish and half of the most similar variant offered by Rolls-Royce, the Phantom Drophead. For the quality, power and exclusivity it offers it is not an exorbitant price.

Now, if you are generous equipping your Bentley, you will soon exceed 300,000 euros… Even so, your garage will have a new focus of attention that, surely, will not disappoint you.
