The Bentley Continental GT was Fastback introduced in 2003 and designed by Raul Pires; Dirk van Braeckel as a Grand Tourer. Based on the 1994 Rolls Royce project Java. The Concept Java never made it into production in the form seen in 1994 (although 13 cars were made for the Sultan of Brunei). Although much of the car was hand assembled, it was a mass-produced car made in significantly larger numbers than earlier Continentals. Powered by a 6.0 litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine of 552bhp.
The convertible version of the Continental GT, the Continental GTC was launched in September 2005 with a roof produced by Karmann in Osnabrück, Germany. The GTC uses identical powertrain detail as the GT, boasting a top speed of 195.1mph with the roof up, 189.5 with it down.
