The Bentley Turbo R is a high-performance car which was produced from 1985 to 1999. The "R" stood for "Roadholding", to set it apart from its predecessor. It initially inherited the turbo-charged engine from the Mulsanne Turbo and also sported a re-tuned suspension and wider tyres on alloy wheels, a first for a Bentley. From the 1987 model year, however, the Turbo R's V8 engine was upgraded with fuel injection for added torque. Motor Trend called the Turbo R, "the first Bentley in decades deserving of the famous name". There were 5196 SWB and 2034 LWB models built.
Finished in Ebony Black metallic with black-piped parchment leather interior, this long-wheelbase Turbo R dates from the final year of production, and thus represents the model in its ultimate form, incorporating all the many chassis improvements and styling/equipment upgrades. Newly introduced for the 1996 model year, these final generation Turbo Rs were fitted with a Cosworth developed Zetec engine management system, and like the contemporary Continental R and Azure had a staggering 385bhp on tap. The UK price was an equally breathtaking £137,755.
This Turbo R LWB comes with a folder containing comprehensive service and maintenance history recording the considerable efforts made to keep it in fine condition, as well as many old MoT certificates confirming the total recorded mileage of 49,800. Special features include black badging to the radiator, wheels, rear roof panels, etc and a multi-stack CD player. An imposing example finished in a colour reflecting today's tastes, this last-of-the-line Turbo R is offered with the aforementioned file of history and new MOT to October 2018 and V5 registration document. The cherished registration is staying with the vehicle, it drives effortless and is in stunning condition and super value for money.
