2026 Bentley Continental GT Convertible Price in Australia

Bentley Continental GT Convertible is the open-top version of Bentley’s latest grand tourer and is sold in Australia as a full model family rather than a single specification. Bentley refers to the car as the Continental GTC, and the range includes the standard GTC, the darker and sportier GTC S, the comfort-led GTC Azure, the performance-focused GTC Speed and the highly personalised GTC Mulliner. All combine a four-seat cabin, a multi-layer fabric roof and the craftsmanship expected from Bentley with a new generation of electrified V8 powertrains.

The standard Continental GTC uses Bentley’s High Performance Hybrid system. A 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 works with an electric motor to produce 680 PS and 930 Nm. Bentley quotes 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and a 270 km/h maximum speed, while the 25.9 kWh battery allows up to about 82 km of WLTP electric driving. This means owners can complete many short urban journeys without using the petrol engine, yet still have the range and refuelling flexibility expected from a traditional grand tourer.

The GTC Speed and GTC Mulliner move to Bentley’s Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain, producing 782 PS and 1,000 Nm. The Speed can accelerate from 0–100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and reach 308 km/h with the appropriate tyre specification. Performance Active Chassis technology brings systems such as active all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, an electronic limited-slip differential and Bentley Dynamic Ride. The result is much greater agility than the car’s substantial size and weight would suggest, while Comfort mode still provides the relaxed ride expected from a luxury convertible.

The roof is one of the model’s defining features. Bentley uses a four-layer fabric hood designed to give the cabin strong insulation when raised, and it can be operated at low road speeds. Roof colours can be matched or contrasted with the paint, while the exterior itself can be selected from a wide factory palette and an even larger Mulliner programme. Bentley states that the regular model offers seven standard paint colours, with around 80 choices available once the extended and premium ranges are considered.

Inside, the Continental GTC is unmistakably Bentley. Nappa leather, real wood veneers and metal switchgear are combined with current connected technology. The optional Bentley Rotating Display can switch between the central touchscreen, a panel of traditional analogue dials and a veneered surface. My Bentley App Studio allows compatible applications to run through the vehicle’s infotainment system, while higher grades offer even more elaborate quilting, embroidery, wellness seating and audio upgrades. Four usable seats make it more accommodating than most high-performance convertibles, although rear space is still best suited to shorter adults or occasional use.

Practicality is the main compromise. Bentley lists a boot volume of only 134 litres for the hybrid GTC, significantly less than the coupe, because roof storage and electrified hardware consume luggage space. The car is also very heavy, with an unladen weight around 2.63 tonnes depending on specification. That weight is masked impressively on the road, but it affects efficiency, tyre costs and manoeuvrability.

For Australian buyers comparing Ferrari Roma Spider, Aston Martin DB12 Volante and other ultra-luxury convertibles, the Bentley’s key advantage is breadth of ability. It is quiet and indulgent enough for interstate touring, fast enough to feel like a supercar and now capable of meaningful electric-only driving. It is expensive and physically large, but few open-top cars combine this much craftsmanship, range, performance and all-weather usability.
