The Bentley Turbo RT, produced for only a brief period from 1997 to 1998, represents the final and most powerful evolution of Bentley’s long-running Turbo R line.
Serving as a luxurious farewell to the classic SZ-series platform introduced in the 1980s, the Turbo RT received a number of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades over its predecessors.
Its 6.75-litre turbocharged V8 was tuned to deliver significantly more power and torque, paired with improved suspension and handling refinements that emphasized both performance and grand-touring comfort.
Distinguished by subtle visual cues - such as its mesh grille and unique badging - the Turbo RT was built in very limited numbers, making it one of the rarest modern Bentleys.
As the last of the true hand-built Crewe turbo saloons, it holds a special place in the brand’s history, bridging classic craftsmanship with the emerging performance focus that would define Bentley in the decades to follow.
