The New Continental GTC is Bentley Motors Korea's first convertible model in the Korean market in eight years, and it is a luxury open-top convertible grand touror that combines both the strong driving performance of the grand touror and the charm of a relaxed open air ring.
The New Continental GTC will be introduced to the Korean market with two derivative lineups: Speed, which focuses on intense styling and performance inspired by motorsports, and Mulliner, which adds luxury details and Bespoke craftsmanship through delicate curating of Mulliner, Bentley's Bespoke department.
This special preview, which will be held at Bentley's domestic flagship retail showroom 'Bentley Cube', is specially designed to allow domestic customers waiting for The New Continental GTC to meet real vehicles faster.

The battery with a capacity of 25.9 kWh is mounted on the rear axle of The New Continental GTC to achieve ideal weight allocation, accelerating up to 140 km/h with pure electric power alone, and driving up to 78 km per WLTP standard without consuming fuel.
In addition to this, The New Continental GTC Speed and Mulliner will be equipped with advanced driving and convenience specifications such as "Bentley Performance Active Chass" technology that implements ultimate ride and cornering performance, posture adjustment systems and automatic temperature control systems that provide the best comfort, Bentley rotating displays and 2,200W "Naim for Bentley" audio systems.
