According to preliminary information, the start of sales of the new Bentley Continental GT Convertible in the UK is scheduled for spring 2019 at a price of 175,100 pounds. To buy convertible Bentley continental gt 3 generations recently, America, Europe and many other countries will be possible no earlier than the beginning of next summer.

Of course, the new Bentley Continental GT convertible with a soft convertible roof is exactly the same as the Bentley Continental GT 3 generation two-door coupe in terms of bodywork, interior and technical stuffing. In coupe and convertible, based on the MSB platform, akin to the British Grand Tourer class car from the German model Porsche Panamera.

Under the hood of the new convertible Bentley Continental gt, at least since the start of sales, register a 6.0-liter W12 TSI with (635 HP 900 Nm), which are installed not only on the platform of the Bentley Continental GT coupe, but on the large crossover Bentley Bentayga can, albeit at a slightly lower rate. Further, a less powerful eight-cylinder gasoline engine will appear in the engine compartment.

The engine is a W12 6.0 TSI engine with an 8-speed robotic gearbox that sends power to all wheels (all-wheel drive). The convertible accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds (0.1 seconds slower than the coupe) and accelerates to a top speed of 333 km/h (same top speed for the coupe). Fuel consumption in combined driving mode according to the old NEDC standard is 12.4 liters, but in accordance with the new WLTP as much as 14 liters.

By the way, the Bentley brand after the parent company Volkswagen was seriously affected due to problems with the certification of its products for the new WLTP standard. In the early autumn of 2018, management even had to curtail sales of premium cars, which led to a drop in sales of only 86 cars at the end of September, and in August its customers found 425 new Bentleys, and in July 434 cars went to the owners. After all, all Bentley models are certified, fuel consumption has increased and the engine has become more environmentally friendly, and the W12 petrol now produces 284 g/km CO2.

From environmental issues, let's go back to the new Bentley Continental GT Convertible and talk about the many innovations that are in advanced and very expensive cars. Perhaps most interesting in the design of the convertible roof is the Z-sash, capable of using the drives to get out or up in just 19 seconds, and it can even be driven at speeds up to 50 miles per hour.

The new soft, multi-layer convertible top in the raised position ensures the same quietness in the cabin of the convertible as in the cabin of the previous generation (noise level is reduced by 3 dB compared to the previous generation convertible). The color of the roof to choose from: gray, blue, burgundy, black, and even … in classic British tweed with a characteristic diagonal weave.

The exterior of the new Bentley Continental GT Convertible is offered in 17 enamel colors (nearly 70 shades), standard 21-inch alloy wheels or optional 22-inch (many options), exclusively wrapped in Pirelli P zero tires.

It only remains to add that the body of the new generation Bentley Continental GT convertible is 5% stiffer than the body of its predecessor, and the new car is as much as 20% lighter.

The interior of the Bentley Continental GT Convertible is identical to that of the Bentley Continental GT Coupe, but with a few caveats. The convertible is equipped with new seats with an improved system for supplying warm air to the neck area (price system), working in parallel with the heated steering wheel, seats and armrests, as well as new, less noisy electric adjustable headrests. The rest of the luxurious interior of the convertible repeats the interior of the chic saloon.
