At first sight, this Bentley doesn’t look rare, but there are only 14 copies. It comes from one of the most famous car collections in the world. In the late 1980s and during the 1990s, the royal family of the small Southeast Asian island nation of Brunei single-handedly kept various car brands (Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Bentley) an the design house Pininfarina alive. The wealth from the oil deposits on the small territory of the state was used for this purpose. In addition to the Sultan Hassan Bolkiah, it was above all his car-crazy brother, Prince Jefri, who put together an incomparable collection. To this end, he not only ordered cars off the shelf, but also commissioned unique special bodies. Some of which were built up to 20 times exclusively for Brunei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Bentley Continental R is also one of the special orders. However, it hides its special parts more cleverly than some other projects. Its unusual epithet “SuFaCon” maybe let’s you think. It stands for “SUper FAst CONtinental”, making it clear that quite a bit has been modified here on the powertrain level. Normally, the Continental R first presented 30 years ago<\/a><\/strong> received the 6.75-liter V8 engine typical of Bentley. Initially, around 325 hp was available, later upped to 360, rising to 385 hp in the Continental S and finally to 426 hp in the top-of-the-range Continental T. However, this wasn’t enough for Prince Jefri, who commissioned the P300 specification from Bentley. New turbochargers and further modifications to the engine increased output to 534 hp. It remained, however, with a four-speed automatic. The luxurious coup\u00e9 sprinted from a standstill to 60 mph in just five seconds. To match the extra power, the brake system received two calipers per front wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n
