A luxury Convertible must have many qualities. Power and performance are essential, of course, but handling is also important when one wants to venture on winding roads with the top down. Moreover, an upscale convertible must also provide the best in terms of interior luxuries and comforts. The Bentley Continental GT Convertible has it all, with an additional dose of sophistication that no other rival can provide.
Here, we compare it with the 2021 Rolls-Royce Dawn.
The 2021 Bentley Continental GT Convertible has more power and choices
The Bentley Continental GT Convertible is all about horsepower and torque. It offers a choice of two extremely potent engines that cater to every buyer’s needs in terms of speed, accelerations and pure joy at the wheel. The first engine is a turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 that cranks out 542 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque.
This is a similar power rating as the Rolls-Royce Dawn’s 6.6-litre V12. The second engine available is the notoriously powerful W12 powerplant with an output of 626 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. This surpasses both iterations of the Rolls-Royce V12, which can only output a maximum of 593 hp and 620 lb-ft of torque in the top Black Badge trim.
Moreover, the Continental GT Convertible sends power to an 8-speed automatic transmission that feeds Bentley’s renowned all-wheel drive system. This gives Bentley owners more all-weather control than the Rolls-Royce Dawn, because the latter only comes in RWD configurations.
Unique interior appointments and tech in the Continental GT Convertible
Inside, the 2021 Bentley Continental Convertible opens up with a four-layer roof, along with neck warmers, seat coolers and heated arm rests ideal for all conditions. The sumptuous interior lets you indulge in everything about your drive. The uninterrupted flow of wood, the sumptuous seats handcrafted with Fine Nappa leather and generous cabin space all contribute in making driving and riding inside the Continental GT Convertible a unique experience.
The infotainment system is more intuitive than what you will find in the Rolls-Royce Dawn, especially because it gives access to numerous functions, like the 1,550-Watt Bang & Olufsen system or optional immersive 2,200 Watt Naim for Bentley to get your day’s soundtrack going.
