2012 Bentley Continental GTC Almost Ready For Its Debut at Frankfurt Auto Show: Spy Shots and Specs

Bentley’s Continental range include a whole line of derivatives: the GT coupe, the GTCconvertible, the Flying Spur sedan, Speed and Supersports versions of each.

Bentley unveiled its all-new Continental GT last fall. This model is simultaneously lighter, more powerful, and slightly more fuel-efficient than its predecessor. The next-generation GTC convertible and Flying Spur sedan are up next, and we now have on good authority that the GTC is scheduled to debut this fall at the 2011 Frankfurt auto show.

A new facelifted version of the Bentley Continental GTC has been spotted in testing recently and you have the chance to see a preview of this car in the gallery below.

From Bentley Continental GTC is expected to pump 567 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from a 6.0-liter W-12 engine, and be capable of running on straight gasoline or E85. Also, the updates for the 2012 model year include a sharper, more heavily creased look, LED-accented headlights like those found on the Mulsanne, and a revised rear bumper cover.

It seems an optional 4.0-liter V-8 may also be available throughout the Continental range, as it’s expected to come around the same time as the new GTC.
