As Dec follows Ant, so too does luxury convertible follow luxury coupe. So it comes as little surprise that Frankfurt has given us the second-generation Bentley Continental GTC, the drop-top version of the Continental GT.
If you've got a Bentley, you've got wood. And there sure is plenty of wood around here, with the GTC boasting a cabin full of the stuff. Oh, and leather.
We could talk all day, as Bentley has, about how sumptuous it is, and how fast, and expensive, and exclusive, and all that stuff. But there are other cars debuting at Frankfurt, and less obvious ones at that – like Maserati's Italian-American 4x4.
In a (wal)nutshell, the Bentley GTC gets an upgraded 6.0-litre W12 engine with 567bhp and E85 biofuel compatibility. The car will hit 62mph in 4.8 seconds, 100mph in 10.9 seconds and top out at 195mph.
It's more dynamic this time because its four-wheel drive system is rear-biased, and the auto 'box shifts 50 percent quicker, and two ratios at a time if needs be. It's 70kg lighter than it used to be, too.
