Bentley Turbo R

Posted on at


For 12 years, from 1985 to 1997, Bentley Motors Limited produced a high-performance car which went by the name Turbo R. The 'R' stands for 'roadholding' and it was put there to differentiate the car from its predecessor, the Mulsanne Turbo. About 7,230 pieces were assembled at Crewe in Cheshire, England with an FR layout. This 4-door sedan was manufactured with different lengths in different years and on an average measured about 210 inches. The wider tires, a retuned suspension and improved handling were all subtle changes but they transformed the soft performer that the Mulsanne Turbo was into a real roaring performer! In fact, Motor Trend called it the first Bentley to deserve that name! In the US market, this luxury sedan was priced at $195,000.
