CONTINENTAL GTC AZURE

CONTINENTAL GTC AZURE

Overview

Designed to elevate the convertible experience to new levels of luxury, the Continental GTC Azure includes innovative features to boost the wellbeing of everyone in the car. So whether you drive it with the roof open or closed, you can expect to feel as fresh and comfortable when you get out as you did when you got in.

The car is part of the Continental GTC range, which also includes the Continental GTC, the ferociously powerful Continental GTC Speed and the exquisitely crafted Continental GTC Mulliner, arguably the most luxurious convertible grand tourer in the world.

Design

When the fabric roof is closed, the car boasts an incredibly sleek silhouette. Open the top and it stows neatly away, maintaining its streamlined profile. The roof itself is comprised of four layers, offering such effective insulation that when closed, it’s easy to think you’re in a hard-top coupé.

Exterior detailing including the wing vents and Bentley badging is finished in eye-catching polished chrome, as are the stunning vertical vanes of the new front grille.

The 22” wheels, exclusive to Azure, bring extra road presence. They can also be commissioned in your choice of two alternative finishes, black painted and polished.

Inside, there is enough room for four adults to relax comfortably, even on the longest of journeys. The treadplates, fascia and handcrafted seats all bear the Azure emblem, leaving you in no doubt that you’re travelling in style. The carpets and overmats are made from Econyl®, a sustainable material made from recycled fishing nets. The luxurious detail continues with Harmony Diamond quilting, contrast stitching, jewel oil and filler caps and sports pedals. You can even opt for a heated duo-tone steering wheel.

Performance


The Continental GTC Azure comes with a truly remarkable standard specification – but there is still scope to make your car your own, starting with your choice of exterior paint. There are sixteen standard colours to choose from, but when you consider the extended paint range – which includes a gleaming new blue-green colour, Topaz Blue – alongside pearlescent and satin finishes from Mulliner, that figure rises to over 80.

There are four driving modes to choose from. Comfort mode is calibrated for relaxed cruising, while Sport mode adjusts the car’s settings for a more responsive, thrilling drive. Bentley mode gives you a balance between the two, while Custom allows you to create your own configuration.

Adaptive three-chamber air suspension ensures you enjoy a smooth, refined ride, while the Bentley Dynamic Ride anti-roll system keeps the car level when cornering, without compromising the ride on the open road.

Technology

The Continental GT Azure features the latest developments in automotive wellbeing technology, including a Pirelli Noise Cancellation System to keep the cabin quiet when the roof is closed, plus air ionisers to purify the atmosphere and adjustable mood lighting.

Elsewhere in the cabin, the Pirelli Noise Cancellation System insulates you from road noise, for tranquil journeys, even when travelling at speed. Ionisers purify the air continuously, while mood lighting is adjustable for colour and intensity.

The Front Seat Comfort Specification is installed as standard, adding ventilation and massage functions to the front seats, alongside comfort headrests, and 22-way electrical adjustment. With the heated steering wheel, and neck-warmers contained within the seats, you can enjoy driving in comfort with the top down, even in the colder months.

The Touring Specification is installed as standard, providing driver assistance systems including Lane Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, a Night Vision Camera and a Head-Up Display. The City Specification is also standard, offering a Top-View Camera, alerts for hazards while reversing and Traffic sign recognition*.

Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist and a Head-Up Display form part of the Touring Specification. The car is equally at home in an urban environment, thanks to the City Specification, which adds even more driver assistance systems, including a Top-View Camera, Park Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition**.

Apple CarPlay** makes it easy to integrate the car’s infotainment system with your phone. There is also a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless phone charging for compatible devices. The digital instrument panel even features exclusive Azure graphics.

The My Bentley smartphone app can connect you to your car remotely. You can use it to locate your car if you’ve forgotten where you parked, or to check the status of the locks and windows. You can even arrange to be alerted if the alarm is activated* or if the vehicle is moved without your consent*.

Personalisation

The Continental GTC Azure comes with a truly remarkable standard specification – but there is still scope to make your car your own, starting with your choice of exterior paint. There are sixteen standard colours to choose from, but when you consider the extended paint range, alongside pearlescent and satin finishes from Mulliner, that figure rises to over 80.

In the cabin, Bentley’s entire range of hide colours and two-tone colour splits is available. This can be complemented with contrast stitching, piping and even hand cross-stitching. Bentley’s complete range of veneers is available too, including classic high-gloss wood options that can be enhanced with metal overlays, contemporary open-pore woods for a more minimalist feel, and technical finishes such as carbon fibre.

There are three sound systems to choose from: Bentley Signature Audio is installed as standard, while the Bang & Olufsen for Bentley system and the superlative Naim for Bentley system are optional upgrades.

For the ultimate in personalisation, you can enlist Mulliner, Bentley’s personal commissioning division, to help you create truly unique features.
