Additional Notes

  • The Bentley Continental GTC 3W cooling system capacity of 19 liters applies uniformly across all six variants in the specifications, spanning the standard GTC, Speed, E85, Supersports E85, and Supersports ISR configurations.
  • A 19-liter cooling system capacity is notably large relative to most passenger vehicles, reflecting the demands of the Continental GTC's W12 engine architecture, which uses a wide-angle block layout requiring an extensive coolant circuit.
  • The check interval of 32,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, applies under normal use conditions across all listed variants. The dual-trigger format means time elapsed can prompt a service check even before the distance threshold is reached.
  • The E85 variants, including the Continental GTC E85 (2011-2012) and Continental GTC Speed E85 (2011-2012), share the same 19-liter capacity and 32,000 km / 24-month check interval as their non-E85 counterparts. E85 refers to a flex-fuel capability using up to 85% ethanol blended fuel, which affects combustion and fuel system components but does not alter the cooling system capacity in these specifications.
  • The Continental GTC Speed (2009-2011) carries the same cooling system specifications as the base Continental GTC (2007-2011), despite the Speed variant's higher power output. Both list a 19-liter capacity and the same check interval.
  • The Continental GTC Supersports ISR (2011-2013) shares the 19-liter capacity and 32,000 km / 24-month check interval with the Supersports E85 (2011-2012), even though the ISR designation refers to a different transmission configuration. ISR stands for Independent Shifting Rod, a type of automated manual gearbox.
