Why it matters
The Continental T was a coupe that offered more performance than the Turbo R, with less rear seat space. It used the same 6.75-litre V8 as the Turbo R and was one of the last cars of the British-owned Bentley company.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
No production figures recorded yet.
History
Bentley showed the Project 90 concept at the 1985 Geneva show. It did not go into production because development costs were too high.
A new coupe was then built on Turbo R underpinnings and given the Continental badge.
