The Bentley S2 (and derivative Bentley S2 Continental) was a luxury car produced by Bentley from 1959 through 1962. Based on the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II, the S2 replaced the straight-6 engine of the Bentley S1 with a new aluminium V8 engine displacing 6.2 L (6230 cc/380 in³). With this new engine, the S2 offered significantly better performance than the previous cars.
Many had coachbuilt bodies by Park Ward, Hooper, H.J. Mulliner, and James Young.
