Keeping in line with the recently updated Bentley Continental GT coupe, the folks over in Crewe have decided to give the GTC a much needed refresh to make sure it doesn't remain outdated. On the outside, the GT Convertible has much better well-defined lines and the headlights are of noticeable difference.

Bentley (and Rolls-Royce, which is now owned by BMW) are known the world over for their craftsmanship and hand-built attention to detail.

Spyshots of a car testing? Doesn't compare. This is really bringing to you what no one else has. There will be a definite visual change going from the current Bentley flagship to the new one. The classic Bentley twin headlight design remains, but is reworked. Previously both headlights were of similar size; this time the one closest to the grille clearly takes center stage. Sources at CAR say that the Arnage replacement also adds
