Though launched at the Geneva Motor Show of 1991, many elements of the John Heffernan/Ken Greenley-penned Continental R had been seen there as far back as 1984, when Bentley unveiled their `Project 90' concept car; the enthusiastic reception leading them to develop it for production. The new car was based on the Turbo R floorpan and powered by its 6.75-litre turbocharged V8 engine, that was believed (the Rolls-Royce/Bentley company of the day never quoted horsepower figures) to produce in the region of 324bhp - sufficient to give a top speed of some 145mph and a 0-60mph acceleration time of around 6.6 seconds.
