2000 Bentley Continental R Mulliner
The Continental R Mulliner model range, offered from March 1999, was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show. The Bentley Continental R Mulliner was equipped with the same engine as the Continental T. This engine had a power output of 420 hp (313 kW; 426 PS) and a maximum torque of 881 N⋅m (650 lb⋅ft). The car has an estimated top speed of 274 km/h (170 mph). 0-97 km/h (60 mph) acceleration time dropped to 5.6 seconds.
One of the reasons the Continental R Mulliner came into existence was that customers wanted the power of the Continental T in the longer wheelbase R.
The T was 102 mm (4 in) shorter than the R, fully at the expense of space for the rear passengers.
