improvement in throttle response and fuel efficiency along with a digitally controlled turbo over-boost. Power output of the engine was increased as a result, and a change in policy by Rolls-Royce: this was the first time performance figures were officially released by the manufacturer, departing from a long tradition of describing performance as "adequate" or "sufficient". Probably the reason for this is because the figures were very impressive: 385 hp (287 kW; 390 PS) at 4,000 rpm and torque of 750 Nâ‹…m (550 lbâ‹…ft) starting to be available at only 2,000 rpm, and available up to 4,000 rpm (according to UK brochure). No other production car in the world at the time delivered such levels of torque. This lead

This engine had a power output of 420 hp (313 kW; 426 PS) and a maximum torque of 881 Nâ‹…m (650 lbâ‹…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, were the customers who 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.

a maximum torque of 881 Nâ‹…m (650 lbâ‹…ft). This car was the first

The larger dual-caliper brakes were also fitted to number six as well as numerous other features that later were incorporated into the 2000 2003 Continental R420 including push button start, eight gauges, and other unique features.

From this point it was decided the Corniche could continue as it was, and efforts would once again be channelled into a new Bentley coupé. In 1986 Graham Hull produced a design rendering of a new Bentley coupé which became the Continental R. Based on the

The revival of the
