Description
The Bentley Turbo R initially inherited the turbocharged engine from the Mulsanne Turbo and also sported a retuned suspension and wider tyres on alloy wheels, quite a departure for a Bentley.
From the 1987 model year, however, the Turbo R's V8 engine was re-tuned with new Bosch MK-Motronic fuel injection for added torque.
Other modifications carried out at the same time included new sports seats and a higher rear axle ratio.
Motor Trend called the Turbo R “the first Bentley in decades deserving of the famous name”.
The suspension changes, though seemingly subtle, transformed the heavy car into a real performer and slotted above the Bentley Mulsanne S and Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit and it carved a well-deserved niche in the world of performance saloons.
This Turbo R long wheelbase was first registered on 26th February 1997 and is presented with very good green coachwork with sumptuous cream interior.
The vendor states this lovely Turbo R fires up and hums away just as it should.
