One of only 823 produced! 1995 Bentley Turbo R Introduced at Geneva in 1985, the Turbo R continued the modern Blower Bentley theme, but with the added refinement of suspension better suited to the car increased performance. Outwardly the R differed from the preceding Mulsanne Turbo by virtue of its cast-alloy wheels shod with low-profile Pirelli tires, while inside there was a revised fascia with rev-counter included amongst the comprehensive instrumentation. In a break with Rolls-Royce tradition, power figures were made public, revealing that the engine produced a 320bhp and a staggering 475lb/ft of torque. Few cars were - or are - better suited to fast long-distance touring. A New Turbo R model was introduced in 1995. Changes included Zytek fuel injection and numerous very subtle modifications and modernizations to the appearance. Only 1366 were produced in long and short wheelbase body styles.
