This 1961 Bentley Continental S2 is a one-of-a-kind vehicle, having been restored and modified by the EV conversion experts at Lunaz. It’s powered by a lithium-ion battery pack and electric motor that produces 530 lb-ft of torque and 405 all-electric horsepower, enough to propel the big Bentley from 0 to 60 MPH in a bit over 6 seconds. The car also features a reinforced, ladder-frame chassis with a fully adjustable coil-spring suspension and four-piston brakes at the rear and a six-piston brake caliper set up clenching down on modern ferrous rotors up front.
The interior and exterior of the car can be customized to suit the owner’s taste, with a custom palette of paint, leather, and wood trim choices available. Lunaz also offers similar levels of design and execution competence on other classic Bentley or Rolls-Royce models.
This unique car has an interesting story behind it. It was originally ordered as a four-door Rolls-Royce Flying Spur with London coachbuilder, James Young, but never materialized. Instead, the buyer got this coupe, one of only four such cars built by James Young. The car has since been passed around several owners and continents before being brought back to the UK for its restoration.
The team at Lunaz is proud of their work on this car, as it embodies the spirit of the original while also giving it new purpose. They have managed to breathe new life into this timeless masterpiece, creating a vehicle that is peerless in its performance and effortless in its day-to-day use.
This 1961 Bentley Continental S2 is truly a one-of-a-kind vehicle, and a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the team at Lunaz.
