The Continental GTC, Bentley’s new luxury 2+2 convertible, will be officially unveiled at the New York International Automobile Show, which starts on Friday.

The new convertible goes on sale later this year, following the introduction of the Continental GT in 2003 and four-door Continental Flying Spur in 2005.

The Continental GTC has a top speed of 195mph, an all-wheel drive system, 12-cylinder engine, air suspension and ultra-stiff body structure.

Prices will be announced nearer to launch later this year.
