Bentley Continental

The Bentley Continental (1985–1995) is a two-door luxury coupe and convertible, offered as a coachbuilt model based on the Bentley Mulsanne and Turbo R platforms. Available in both fixed-head coupe (Continental R) and drophead convertible (Continental) variants, these vehicles emphasized bespoke craftsmanship, refined luxury, and performance. With the introduction of the turbocharged version in the 1990s, the Continental marked a shift toward grand touring dynamics while maintaining its traditional Bentley elegance.
