The commissioning of a beautiful object<\/em> is a singular event; an occasion to celebrate. Be it sculpted bronze, an ocean-going yacht, a contemporary furniture classic, or an architectural icon, each commission is an individual interpretation, shaped by human minds and hands. Each one the fulfilment of a vision, each one an original. This has always been the essence of each Bentley motor cars<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The designation Continental R<\/strong> could be traced back to the Bentley Continental<\/em><\/strong> of the post-war period, whose legendary fame had resulted from the combination of a most impressive powertrain and highly attractive coachwork design and features of which had been specified by customers. Such an opportunity \u2013 though altered to present time demands \u2013 was offered again, when in March 1999 the Mulliner Continental model range was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show<\/em>. A Bentley<\/strong> driver could specify his personal motor car in direct contact with engineers and designers at the Crewe factory.<\/p>\n

The Bentley Continental<\/em> R<\/strong> Mulliner was equipped with the most powerful engine as hitherto only found on the Bentley Continental T. A power output of 420bhp\/313kW and a maximum torque of 875Nm was more than any other manufacturer in the world did offer. The car could be pushed up to a top speed of some 170mph.<\/p>\n
