It was the first car released by Bentley under Volkswagen AG management, after the company’s acquisition in 1998, and the first Bentley to employ mass production manufacturing techniques. Bentley debuted the vehicle debuted in 2003 at several key events.  The car differed from the previous Continental R & T models in terms of its concept: although much of the car is hand-assembled, it is a mass-produced car made in significantly larger numbers. It is not a coach-built car. The price at launch was less than half the price of the Continental R, giving the car a wider customer base.
