Vehicle Description
Introduced in 1991, the Continental R was a large luxury coupe and
was one of their first models in almost 40 years that wasn't based
on a Rolls Royce. It was the fastest, most expensive and most
powerful Bentley of all time and was the world's most expensive car
when it hit the market. Despite weighing over 5,400lbs, the cars
came standard with a 6.75L V8 with a massive Garrett turbocharger
that pumped out 360hp and 500lb-ft of torque. The car used the new
4-speed GM 4L80-E automatic transmission which had been
exhaustively tested by Rolls Royce for over 1 million miles and
modified by them in order to deliver very high levels of
refinement. Other features and refinements included self-levelling
hydraulic suspension and twin calliper ventilated disc brakes at
the front. Engine management was provided by an MK-Motronic digital
fuel injection setup with a fully mapped ignition control system.
When introduced, top speed was 145 mph (233 km/h) with a 0-60 mph
(97 km/h) time of 6.6 seconds. Just 1,236 cars were made.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this very rare and stunning
1994 Continental R for your consideration. Endless amounts of money
has been spent to keep this car in tip top condition and it still
shows very well. The paint and bodywork are in fabulous condition
and the Silica metallic paint is stunning. The body is also
accented by a deep purple pinstripe. The mushroom colored leather
features brown piping and is in excellent condition. The large
amounts of multi-species wood trim is a classy touch for sure and
probably the only flaw in this car is that some of the wood has
cracking veneer. Real metal trim and leather trim on everything
gives a cosy, English feel to the comfortable interior. The car is
extremely well equipped with everything you can think of from power
windows, heated and powered seats, power locks, trip computer, twin
horns, premium audio, air condition. The outside is accented by
larger chrome wheels as well as twin exhausts.
Very few cars have the same level of class, comfort, and prestige
as a Bentley. The sticker price for this car was $275k in 1994,
which would be almost half a million dollars today. This car comes
with both keys, factory service manual, owners handbook and a whole
bunch of receipts for things such as an entire front end rebuild
and engine servicing! Impress your friends and family with this
soon to be classic!
