2003 Bentley Continental R Coupe

The Continental R was conceived as a Bentley super-coupe, distinct from any Rolls-Royce offering. The body and interior were designed by Graham Hull, John Heffernan and Ken Greenley, with a powerplant from the Turbo R. The iconic design was first shown at Geneva in 1991 and released to the public the following year. It remained Bentley's flagship coupe until 2003, when it was retired to make way for the all-new Continental GT.

This was a most exclusive vehicle, coachbuilt and priced at $336,000. Regular production ended in 2002, but between January and June of 2003, Bentley made a Final Series of eleven unique Continental R motorcars. This example is the first of that series, and one of just four known to remain in the United States.

This car currently has only 5,000 miles and represents the last of the pre-VW Bentleys.
