What the hybrid system means in daily use
The battery lets the GTC run on electric power alone for short trips, then the V8 joins in for full performance. Electric-only driving is limited to lower speeds, and the real-world range will be shorter than the WLTP figure, especially in cold Canadian weather.
The soft top can be raised or lowered while moving at low speed, up to about 50 km/h per Bentley.
