The model car you see here is based on the Bentley Continental GTC, a luxury convertible that has been produced in its third generation since 2018 and is still going strong today. This generation is another step up in terms of technology and style for the Continental. The Continental GTC packs a punch with a powerful 6.0-liter (0.16-gallon) W12 engine that cranks out up to 635 horsepower (467 kW) and a massive torque of 663 lb-ft (900 Nm). It can go from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in just 3.7 seconds, and hits a top speed of 207 mph (333 km/h). If you're looking for something a little different, Bentley also offers a 4.0-liter (0.1-gallon) V8 engine that delivers slightly less power but provides a more balanced driving experience.
This generation of the Bentley Continental GTC is built on the MSB platform, developed alongside Porsche, which serves as its technical backbone. The design of the vehicle was handled by Stefan Sielaff, who is well-known for his work at Bentley and Audi. One of the coolest features is the active air suspension, which allows for a super comfy yet sporty driving experience. And let’s not forget the luxurious interior, packed with Nappa leather seats, a rotating 12.3-inch (31 cm) screen, and handcrafted wood and metal accents.
The model car you see is a precise replication of the Bentley Continental GTC in a 1/18 scale and is made by Norev. This model is made from Diecast, known for its durability and attention to detail. Collectors like "Alexroar98" can get a closer look at what the real deal feels like through this miniature version.
The paint job on the model, in a stunning metallic blue, captures the elegance of the original with its clear, reflective surface. The interior is intricately detailed, showcasing seats, trims, and controls that are super recognizable. The precision in the spokes of the wheels and the iconic Bentley grille is spot-on. An added bonus is the visible Bentley badge on both the front and back of the vehicle, emphasizing its luxury pedigree.
The open-top design of this 1/18 model from Norev allows you to take a detailed peek into the interior. The color scheme inside combines black and cream tones that are signature to Bentley’s luxurious vibe. The structure of this convertible, showcasing the seats and dashboard, echoes the design of the original beautifully. The chrome trim lines running along the body and the crystal-like rear lights are distinctive and well-highlighted.
The wheels of the miniature model are crafted to reflect the original's multi-spoke designs, adding a touch of opulence. The Bentley logo is clearly visible on the rear, making the model all the more authentic. Thanks to the high-quality Diecast construction, even the tiniest details of the original car are accurately depicted, which is a real treat for model car collectors.
The Bentley Continental GTC third generation follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, which was produced between 2011 and 2018. Bentley has continually pushed the envelope with each new generation, focusing on both technical improvements and design finesse. The first generation rolled out in 2003, introducing the dynamic grand touring concept that’s still a hit today. With the current generation, not only has performance been boosted, but comfort and innovation have also reached new heights.
For collectors and car enthusiasts, this 1/18 model offers a chance to own a piece of modern automotive craftsmanship in miniature form. Every detail reflects the complexity and beauty of the original. It captures the essence of Bentley's tradition and is a must-have addition to any collection, especially with the top-notch craftsmanship from Norev.
