While there are plenty of affordable
luxury cars
on the market, some of them are just out of reach. You'll usually find a new Bentley in the home of a celebrity such as Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian. You can still find reasonably-priced
car insurance
for Bentley models, but hyper-luxury cars also attract premium maintenance fees.
If you can't afford to buy or maintain a Bentley, you can still appreciate each one for free. Here are some of the best Bentleys ever made, ranked by

The 2021 Bentley Continental GT rules them all

This luxury tourer is probably the best example of the automaker's opulence. Its satisfying power comes from either a 542-horsepower V8 or a 650-horsepower W12, so don't expect good fuel economy.
The more powerful of the two engines, standard in the Continental GT Speed, gives the car a top speed of 208 mph. Both also come with AWD and an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
The interior is more refined than ever with diamond-patterned stitching, an optional rotating gauge cluster display, and available carbon fiber accents. As is the Bentley way, you can customize pretty much every interior and exterior color for an extra fee.

Anyone can appreciate these classic Bentleys

The Bentley Mark VI was the most expensive car in the world during its 1946 debut. It was Bentley's first post-WW11 luxury car, built on a frame made exclusively from steel. It was also one of the fastest cars at the time, with around 125 horsepower and a top speed of 100 mph.
Another retro classic is the Bentley Speed 6. The civilian version was already powerful with 180 horsepower on tap, but this model was used primarily in racing. 
In fact, a Bentley Speed 6 was even able to outpace a locomotive during the Blue Train Races of the ‘20s and ‘30s. These models had V8s capable of 200 horsepower, and each one was custom-made for its buyer.

These Bentleys are seriously extravagant

While we recently said goodbye to the Bentley Mulsanne in 2020, it definitely went out with a bang. For its final model year, it came with a twin-turbo engine producing 505 horsepower that boasted incredibly smooth acceleration.
It looks like a limousine from the exterior, which could be customized with over 100 shades of paint. If you needed an actual limousine, that body style was available for purchase as well.
The interior is huge and comfy during long drives, especially with an optional state-of-the-art Naim stereo system. The Bentley Mulsanne was also one of the most pricey models ever produced, with a starting MSRP of $310,800.
The Bentley Turbo-R looks reserved (yet still sophisticated) in comparison, but it came with an abundance of power. Its standard fuel-injection V8 is capable of 300 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque.
This model also received a stiffened suspension and a lightweight body to make its handling sportier than the similar Mulsanne Turbo. According to
Car and Driver
, a 1994 model could hit 60 mph in 6.4 seconds. 
To complement its athletic nature, the gear selector and tachometer were moved to the center console. The cabin wasn't just driver-focused: it also came with the same Bentley-standard gorgeous wood accents and plush leather seats.
