The Bentley State Limousines are official state cars manufactured by Bentley as a gift for Elizabeth II on the occasion of her Golden Jubilee in 2002. The two cars produced were in service for the Queen up until her death in 2022. They have most recently been in service for Charles III. Anne, Princess Royal used the car while accompanying the Queen's coffin. Both cars are kept in the Royal Mews.
Description
The vehicles' twin-turbocharged, 6.75-litre V8 engines have been modified from Bentley's Arnage R version to produce 400 hp and 616 lbft of torque. Their maximum speed is 130 mph.
The State Limousines are 83.0 cm longer than a standard Bentley Arnage, 25.5 cm taller, and 6.8 cm wider. They are equipped with broad coach doors opening to the rear by almost 90 degrees. Opaque panels over the rear window of the cars can either be installed for added privacy or removed for added visibility of the occupants.[1][2] For protection of the occupants, the bodywork and glass are armoured, the cabin can be sealed air-tight in case of gas attack and is also blast-resistant, and the tyres are
