The Bentley R-Type Continental was the top of the line variant for the Bentley R-Type. Introduced in 1952, the Continental featured a tuned version of the R-Type's 4.6L inline six engine for the first years of production, with a larger 4.9L unit available starting in 1954. The rarest of the Bentley R-Type cars, the Continental only saw 208 examples built before the end of production in 1955.
