Since when did Bentleys get this fast? The new Continental GT Convertible is a 626bhp, 664lb ft car that can do 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds. It has a top speed of 207mph, for heaven"s sake. That"s supercar speed, from a two-tonne-plus luxury GT. The mind boggles. As you"d expect, the Conti GT Convertible is mechanically very similar to the hard-top. Same W12 engine with cylinder-deactivation (and therefore outrageous performance figures), eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, 48-volt control system (that all-but eliminates body-roll), and variable all-wheel drive. The opulent interior is the same too, with its revolving infotainment screen and basically limitless hide, veneer and colour possibilities. There"s also a 2,000 watt Naim stereo on offer, which gets 18 speakers and Active Bass Transducers" in the front seats. We don"t know what those are, but we want them quite badly.
