About the R-Type Continental 4.6

The 1952 Bentley R-Type Continental 4.6 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,880 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 78 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 78 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.33 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 12,964th quickest to 60 mph, and the 70th quickest of the 70 Bentleys here. Its 75.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Bentley R-Type Continental 4.6 0-60 time?

The Bentley R-Type Continental 4.6 reaches 60 mph in 12.15 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 12,964th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Bentley R-Type Continental 4.6 quarter mile time?

18.94 s at 75.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.44 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.33 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Bentley R-Type Continental 4.6 have?

148 bhp and 1,880 kg, which is 78 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 188 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Bentley R-Type Continental 4.6?

Closest here on pace: Land Rover Range Rover 2.9 TD V6 177 (12.28 s), Land Rover Range Rover 2.9 V6 TD 177 (12.28 s), Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 116 (12.31 s). Each one can be raced against the Bentley R-Type Continental 4.6 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Bentley R-Type Continental 4.6 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
