British German tuning specialist Mansory just can't say no to its habits of transforming what is essentially a gentleman's sport convertible into a horrible pimp-my-ride drop-top monster. The company has just introduced its Le Mansory Convertible, a widebody Bentley Continental GTC customization program limited to just 24 units - after the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The car has received new front spoiler with larger air intakes, new side skirts and the fender attachments making the car look wider, carbon fiber elements, and LED daylights. On the back, there is also new rear skirt with the rear trunk spoiler and the double quad chromium plated stainless steel exhaust system.
The new look is finished with a set of fully forged wheels in size 10 x 22J with 265/35/22 high performance profile tires and 10 x 22J with 305/30/22 tires.
The Bentley Continental GTC's got stronger too, let me admit that. With the new Mansory electronic unit, the car gets its maximum power increased from 552bhp to more appealing 641bhp, cutting the zero to 60mph acceleration time from 5.1 to 4.4 seconds.

Bentley Continental GTC tuned by Mansory
Bentley Continental GTC tuned by MTM
German tuning studio MTM has revealed its "Berkin Edition" of the famous Bentley Continental GTC super-convertible. Unlike its fellow tuner Mansory, MTM limited itself to only technical adjustments, leaving the GTC's elegant appearance untouched.
The Bentley Continental GTC Berkin Edition features a comprehensive engine upgrade program consisting of two main stages. The first stage, which is purely electronic, gets the GTC's original 6.0-liter W12's power output increased from 560 hp and 650 Nm to more impressive 635 hp and 780 Nm respectively. The second stage bumps those figures to 650 hp and to 795 Nm.
With these enhancements, the 2.5 ton monster takes only 4.2 seconds to jump from zero to 100 km/h, which is 0.6 seconds better than the standard Bentley Continental GTC can deliver.
To finish the picture, MTM has also added a four-pipe stainless steel exhaust, 21-inch Bimoto alloys and reprogrammed suspension software.
