2026 Continental GTC: Topless at the Top

Florida's 300 days of sunshine per year deserve a car designed specifically for open-air grand touring — and the 2026 Bentley Continental GTC sourced privately through Opulent Exotics Jacksonville is exactly that. Examples of the latest GTC are sourced privately to your specification, spanning the V8 and W12 powertrain options and a range of exterior specifications personally curated by Jhonny Garcia.

The Continental GTC Soft Top: Engineering at Its Most Refined

The Continental GTC's triple-layer acoustic fabric hood is one of the most sophisticated convertible tops in the automotive world. It deploys in 19 seconds at speeds up to 30 mph — not just stationary — and retracts just as quickly. The triple-layer construction uses a mass-damping inner layer, a foam acoustic layer, and the outward-facing fabric to achieve a cabin noise level when closed that is within 1 dB of the Continental GT coupé. Bentley fits the GTC with additional structural reinforcement that actually results in a stiffer body than the coupé — audible as a greater sense of solidity and quiet that surprises first-time GTC drivers.

With the roof open, the GTC's windscreen is tall enough to provide effective wind protection at highway speeds. The wind blocker deploys from behind the rear seats at the push of a button. At 70 mph with the top down, normal conversation is possible at comfortable volume — a benchmark no competitor reliably matches.

Continental GTC Interior: Four Seats, Full Bentley Luxury

Unlike most convertibles, the Continental GTC maintains four genuine adult seats. The rear cabin is narrower than the coupé's by 20mm, but legroom is uncompromised. The Bentley Rotating Display, Naim premium audio, and the complete Mulliner Driving Specification interior are all available in the GTC. In Florida's climate, the ventilated front seats and neck warmers — which project warm air directly onto occupants when the top is down on cooler evenings — are among the most appreciated features in the specification list.
