This is a very specially equipped and unusual Bentley RT.

The Bentley Turbo RT was the last of the Turbo R line and came with a 400bhp version of the 6.75 litre V8 engine.

The Turbo RT was produced during 1997 and 1998 only, with 252 units produced.

It was essentially a ‘runout special’, an effort to sell off the last SZ-style bodies before the introduction of the Arnage.
