Bentley Continental GTC First Edition (1:18) — review

The Continental GTC is Crewe’s open-top grand tourer: a W12 up front, quilted leather everywhere, and the kind of effortless pace that makes a continent feel small. The First Edition trim adds the special detailing that marked the model’s launch year.

In 1:18 the proportions are the star — the long bonnet, the muscular haunches and the folded-roof stance photograph beautifully. Opening panels and a detailed cabin let you show off the interior, and the paintwork carries that deep Bentley lustre. It’s a classy, understated piece that balances out a shelf full of louder supercars.

Pairs well with other British grand tourers and luxury saloons.
