Custom Bentley Continental GTC by Carrozzeria Touring en route to Geneva

Aspiring to drive a Bentley is ambitious enough for most of us, but some are looking for something a little more unique. That's why the stoic British luxury marque is collaborating with some of the industry's leading coachbuilders to craft custom creations based on their most popular motors.

A couple of years ago, Bentley collaborated with Zagato to create the Continental GTZ (pictured above). Now reports suggest that another coachbuilder – the recently-revived Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera – is working on a version of its own.

Reportedly based on the Continental GTC convertible, Touring's custom creation is set to be unveiled at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in two months' time. And if the $1.7 million asking price for the Zagato is any indication, it promises to be very exclusive indeed.

Coming Attractions: Bentley Continental GTC Supersports Spied

Really, it was only a matter of time before spy photos of the Bentley Continental GTC Supersports made the rounds. After all, there was never really any doubt that the German-owned maker of high-end luxury cars would eventually cut the top off its latest sportster, in this case powered by the most powerful production version of the automaker's 6.0-liter W12 powerplant in history.

For those that like to keep track of such things, this would be the eighth derivative of the Continental platform – the others being the GT coupe, GTC cabrio, Flying Spur sedan, Speed versions of each and the Supersports coupe. If it does indeed see the light of day, expect the GTC Supersports to boast a similar weight reduction as the coupe (243 pounds, in that case) along with carbon ceramic brakes and the deletion of the rear seats. Oh, and flex-fuel capability... at some point.
