Bentley Continental GTC W12

With 626 bhp from its twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12, this 2020 Continental GTC covers 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and tops out at 207 mph, which makes it one of the quickest four-seat convertibles of its generation. It is a Blackline car in grey, and the Blackline Specification brings a darker exterior treatment, paired with the Mulliner Driving Specification and black painted wheels.

The options list is long and sensible. City Specification adds a 360-degree camera, and Touring Specification brings adaptive cruise control and a head-up display, which makes it easier to cover long distances. Front Seat Comfort Specification, Mood Lighting, Mulliner LED welcome lamps and an inductive phone charger complete the cabin. The Bentley Rotating Display, chrome pinstripe to the fascia and door waistrails, and contrast stitching add to the cabin. The paint is listed as Magnetic.

The car has covered 21,309 miles, which is modest for a six-year-old grand tourer and leaves plenty of life in a drivetrain built for high-speed touring. Power goes to all four wheels, so the 900 Nm of torque is delivered with confidence in varied conditions.
