1996 Bentley Continental R for sale
Current customer rating: (91 votes ) based onThe car drives like a dream and is very reliable. I am selling the car to make place for a new addition to the car family. nbsp;and I decided to let her go as I own another Continental as well.
Launched in 1991. the Bentley Continental R was a large. ultra-exclusive. luxury coupé made by Bentley until 2003. It was the fastest. most expensive. and most powerful Bentley of its day and was also the most expensive production car in the world at launch. It was substantially more streamlined than the contemporary Bentley saloons and the stalwart 6. 75 litre V8 engine was boosted in power. In the 1996 model year. the basic Continental R was priced at over 220. 00$ in the US. In this year. some of the most significant changes since the launch of the car were introduced. notably the inclusion of the liquid-cooled chargecooler as standard. along with improved engine management ensuring a better throttle response. an increase in fuel efficiency and. digitally controlled. turbo over-boost. It also meant an increase in power output. and a change in policy by Rolls Royce as this was the first time performance figures were officially released by the manufacturer. departing from a long tradition of describing performance as ‘adequate' or ‘sufficient'. This was probably because the figures were so impressive: 385 bhp at 4000rpm and torque of 550lbft. peaking at only 2000rpm. and available up to 4000rpm. No other production car in the world at the time delivered such levels of torque. 0-60 mph was now officially quoted by Rolls Royce as ‘sub 6 seconds' and a top speed of 155 mph. The 1996 model year also saw revised 17" alloy wheels and steering wheel tilt adjustment for the first time. This was electrically adjustable and so could now be set as part of the seat and wing mirror memory positions.
The paint needs a touch up as there are two blemishes in the clear coat on the left side mirror as well as small area of the roof.
The car is located in Beverly Hills. California.
