If you’ve always had an eye for older luxury cars with great driving dynamics, preferably from Britain, may we present this 1996 Bentley Continental R for your consideration? The Continental R was made between 1991 and 2003, and a mere 1,854 units were produced and sold worldwide. It’s probably one of the rarest cars, as there are plenty of Italian exotics with higher production numbers for example. This particular example is a 50,777-mile, numbers-matching example from Pennsylvania, and it’s a great way to experience what luxury was like before digital screens took over everything.
Exterior and Interior
The timeless design of this 1996 Bentley Continental R is highlighted by a smooth red paint job, and complemented by its aftermarket black alloy wheels. The front sports dual headlamps and an imposing chrome grille, with the Bentley Flying B logo directly above. Moving to the side, the sheer length of this car becomes apparent, even though it’s a two-door coupe. The rear, on the other hand, presents itself in a simplistic vibe, but of course, there’s another ‘Flying B’ here as well. The interior of this 1996 Bentley Continental R is where you want to be, and it’s a cream leather-upholstered affair with plenty of light wood accents. You’ve got features such as power adjustable front seats, a premium sound system, some red trim and red carpeting as well. There’s bi-level climate control as well, and front seat heaters for added comfort during cold weather. The only modern feature that we spot is an Alpine single-DIN head unit with Bluetooth, USB and AUX inputs. Everything else remains period and near-pristine. Even the spacious trunk is in great condition, and can swallow up enough luggage for several days on the road.
Engine
The famed "Six And Three Quarter" 6.75L V8 lies under the hood (or bonnet, in British speak) of this 1996 Bentley Continental R. The engine is turbocharged, but in a very laid-back fashion. In 1996, Rolls-Royce started releasing power figures for their cars, and they say that the unit makes 385hp at 4,000rpm and 550lb-ft of torque from 2,000 rpm until 4,000rpm. Power goes to the rear wheels via a GM-sourced 4L80 automatic gearbox. The car also features adaptive ride control suspension. Furthermore, we’re informed that there are new upper and lower ball joints.
Bentley's second-generation Continental GT elevated the grand touring formula with sharper styling, improved driving dynamics, and an even more luxurious cabin while retaining the effortless performance of its legendary twin-turbocharged W12 engine. Equally at home on cross-country road trips or spirited weekend drives, the Continental GT delivers exceptional comfort without sacrificing performance. This 2012 Bentley Continental GT has traveled just 11,752 miles and is finished in elegant Dark Sapphire Metallic over Portland and Imperial Blue hides. Loaded with desirable factory options including the Convenience Specification, massage and ventilated front seats, Dark Stained Burr Walnut veneer, dual-tone hide-trimmed steering wheel, and a host of bespoke interior details, this exceptionally low-mileage example embodies the craftsmanship, refinement, and effortless performance expected from a modern Bentley grand tourer.
The Continental GTC is what happens when Bentley decides that effortless speed should come with the ability to drop the roof at a moment's notice. Sharing its DNA with the Continental GT, the GTC combines handcrafted British luxury with a formidable twin-turbocharged W12 and all-wheel drive, making it just as comfortable devouring interstate miles as it is tackling winding back roads. This 2009 Bentley Continental GTC has traveled just 32,465 miles and is finished in timeless Beluga over Saddle. Equipped with the sought-after Mulliner Driving Specification, Naim for Bentley Premium Audio System, front seat massage, 20-inch 7-spoke 2-piece alloy sports wheels, and an array of bespoke interior appointments, this grand tourer offers the perfect blend of performance, exclusivity, and open-air luxury.
The 2016 Bentley Continental GT V8 S comes from the modern Continental lineage that helped reshape Bentley in the 2000s, combining grand touring luxury with serious everyday performance. The V8 S sharpens that formula with a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8, all-wheel drive, and a more athletic character than the standard GT, while still keeping the refinement Bentley is known for. Showing 67,162 miles, this Onyx Metallic example is finished over a Linen and Beluga interior and is equipped with desirable options including the Mulliner Driving Specification, 21-inch Six Twin-Spoke alloy wheels, quilted perforated hide seats, embroidered Bentley headrests, front seat ventilation and massage, contrast stitching, red brake calipers, dark tint lamps, and Gloss Black Veneer.
