Bentley B3 Coupé

Vehicle Overview

The Bentley B3 Coupé, introduced in 1995, is a rare and exceptional limited-edition vehicle created by the prestigious Italian design house Pininfarina for the Sultan of Brunei. A highly exclusive creation, the B3 Coupé was designed as a bespoke luxury vehicle, reflecting the Sultan’s renowned taste for one-of-a-kind automobiles. It was built on the platform of the Bentley Continental R, with Pininfarina tasked to give it a unique aesthetic, blending traditional Bentley elegance with the flair of Italian craftsmanship. The B3 Coupé’s design features sleek, flowing lines, a refined silhouette, and a distinctive front grille, setting it apart from other models in Bentley’s lineup. The proportions and styling elements were carefully crafted to emphasize luxury and exclusivity. Inside, the cabin is outfitted with the finest materials, including sumptuous leather upholstery, rich wood veneers, and bespoke detailing. Every element of the interior was designed for comfort, creating an environment that blends traditional British luxury with Italian sophistication. Under the hood, the B3 Coupé retained the powerful 6.75-liter turbocharged V8 engine found in the Continental R, which provided impressive performance and smooth, effortless power. The engine is paired with a sophisticated suspension system, ensuring that the B3 Coupé delivers both high-performance driving dynamics and the smooth, comfortable ride expected from a Bentley. Despite its performance capabilities, it remains a refined grand tourer, designed for long-distance journeys with an emphasis on comfort and prestige. The limited nature of the Bentley B3 Coupé, with only a handful of examples built, makes it an incredibly rare collector’s piece. The car was tailored specifically to the Sultan’s exacting specifications, incorporating various custom features to make it truly unique. The B3 Coupé is a symbol of automotive exclusivity and a testament to the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that Bentley and Pininfarina are known for. It remains one of the most coveted and iconic cars of its era.
