宾利第三代欧陆GT发布才刚刚发布几天，其GTC敞篷版合成图就现身网络。虽然合成图看起来很熟悉，但秘密隐藏在渐进式改进的新的MSB平台，它的各项配置都获得提升。包括车重降低80公斤，虽然新车重量仍然不轻，但至少获得了瘦身，这将进一步提升驾驶感受。GT版本的前轴向前挪了135毫米，这进一步降低了噪音并让引擎盖内仍容纳新的6.0升W12TSI双涡轮引擎。该引擎功率626马力，扭矩900牛米，搭配八速自动变速器，可实现更快，更平顺换挡。这款车只需要六个档位就能加速至最高333公里时速，第七和第八档是超速档，以确保“更轻松的巡航”行驶。车辆百公里加速时间仅需3.7秒，对于如此庞大身躯和重量的车辆来说，如此加速性实属不易。
Bentley Continental GTC Render Seems Just About Right
Very few days have passed since the debut of Bentley’s third-generation Continental GT and already someone with enough free time on his hands has decided to chop off its roof to give as an unofficial preview of the GTC.
The looks may seem overly familiar, but the secrets are hiding beneath that evolutionary design as the new MSB underpinnings shared with the Porsche Panamera have brought improvements on all fronts. For example, Bentley has managed to shave off 80 kilograms (176 pounds), which is exactly what the doctor ordered considering the old version wasn't exactly a light car. The new one isn't either, but at least some of the fat has come off and that should pay dividends in terms of the driving experience.
The front axle of Crewe’s latest GT has been pushed forward by 135 millimeters (5.3 inches), paving the way for a lowered nose and an elongated hood hiding the new biturbo 6.0-liter W12 TSI. The engine churns a massive 626 horsepower and 664 pound-feet (900 Newton-meters) of torque channeled to the wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission promising to deliver faster and smoother gear changes.
Should you want to take it to the max, sixth gear will be enough to reach the top speed of 207 mph (333 kph) as the seventh and eighth gears will be override gears ensuring “relaxed cruising” as Bentley nicely puts it. To hit the maximum velocity, you’ll first do 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) in 3.7 seconds, an impressive performance considering the car’s size and weight.
