The Engine: The "6.75" LegendThe 2003 model utilized the iconic 6.75-liter L-Series V8, a powerplant that had been in service for decades but was perfected for this final run.Engine Type: 6.75L V8 with a single Garrett Turbocharger and intercooler.Horsepower: 400 hp (Standard Mulliner) or 420 hp (Final Series Performance).Torque: A massive 645 to 650 lb-ft.

The "Final Series Performance" (2003)Since 2003 was the "send-off" year, Bentley created the Final Series Performance (FSP). It combined the luxury of the Azure with the high-performance internals of the Bentley Continental T.Exterior: Characterized by flared wheel arches, fender vents (Le Mans style), and 18-inch 5-spoke wheels.The Roof: The convertible top was famously designed and built by Pininfarina in Italy. The body shells were actually shipped to Italy to have the tops fitted before returning to Crewe, England, for final assembly.Interior: Features diamond-quilted leather seats, a starter button (uncommon for 2003), and a turbo boost gauge.3. Collectibility & RarityTotal First-Gen Production: Only 1,311 units were built between 1995 and 2003.2003 Value: Because it was the final year of the traditional "big Bentley" before the Continental GTC took over, 2003 models—especially the Final Series—are among the most collectible modern Bentleys.
