" The 2012 Bentley Continental GTC will be unveiled at next month&amp;#039;s 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show with a raft of design and engineering changes developed to put the 195-mph convertible at least on a par with its immediate rivals...if not ahead of them. The flex-fuel E85-compatible W-12 engine now produces 567 bhp and 516 lb.-ft. of torque, delivering 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and 100 mph in 10.6. Drive to all four wheels, now split 40/60 front/rear for improved dynamics and reduced understeer, is still through the ZF automatic, but with its new Quickshift system, Bentley claims shift times have been reduced by 50 percent, while allowing double downshifts. A wider front and rear track, as well as sharper steering and retuned suspension, provides &amp;quot;a more exhilarating and class-leading drive,&amp;quot; says Bentley. The new GTC takes its styling cues from its coupe sibling launched last year with sharper radii on the swage lines to provide a more muscular stance, especially the aluminum front fenders, which are super formed to eliminate any welds or seams. The GTC has also adopted the more upright matrix radiator grille and new `double horseshoe&amp;#039; rear profile first shown on the flagship Bentley Mulsanne. Adding to the car&amp;#039;s more assertive stance are the now standard 21-in. wheels.
