Bentley Continental GTC: Driven by Autoblog

Some guys have all the luck...

Last week, Bentley sent three examples of the exquisite new Continental GTC to Miller Motorcars' Bentley Greenwich. The trio of droptops is currently touring the country, stopping at Bentley showrooms to afford customers new and old the opportunity to get behind the wheel. In the case of the GTC, though, the car is so beautiful, one could, in good conscience, place an order based on a photo alone.

Prepare to be noticed if you're behind the wheel of a GTC. It's that kind of machine -- instantly classic, with the kind of curb appeal lesser cars aspire to, but never achieve. Surrounding drivers and pedestrians are instantly aware of it. It has presence. It draws looks. Stares. Some people point. Many smile. I understand that part. I was smiling the whole time.
