Looking at a Continental GTC, you probably can’t help but feel that every single rich person on earth either owns or has owned one in the past. You know what? You’re probably right.

While that statement is almost certainly incorrect, we all know how popular the Bentley Continental is, regardless of shape/form. Looking at pop culture, we might even feel inclined to disregard it precisely because of its “ownership record”.

Well, let’s not forget that a tasteful build can spring up pretty much from anywhere, featuring just about any type of car. Anyway, what we’ve got here is a Continental V8 S Convertible that has been lowered and that sits on a set of beautiful HRE P103 wheels that may or may not be a size too big – what do you guys think?

Performance-wise, though this is one seriously heavy car, it can still hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.7 seconds as well as a top speed of 308 km/h (191 mph), thanks to its 528 PS engine (also good for 680Nm/502 lb-ft of torque).

Whether you’re a fan or not, you have to respect its heritage, as well as its imposing looks, superb comfort level and interior quality.

The fact that it can put a smile on your face in a straight line is just an added, and also much needed, bonus.

As for the red interior, it’s not an easy thing to pull off. Luckily, in this case it works out just fine since what you end up with is a nice overall exterior-interior contrast.
