Second-Hand Bentley Turbo R
Used Bentley Turbo R
The Bentley Turbo R was a popular choice for executive motorists for a long period of time during the 1980s and 1990s. The very first Bentley Turbo R made its way off the production line in 1985 and it was introduced as a direct successor to the company's Mulsanne Turbo. There were very many similarities between the two models but because the 'R' stood for Roadholding, it revealed a more stable car with better handling. Production continued for 12 years and the used Turbo R became one of the stable's best sellers of all time. By the time manufacturing had ceased in 1997, over 7,200 models had been made and the second-hand market has generally been a thriving one ever since.
What You Get
With the collection of used Bentley Turbo Rs for sale at RAC Cars, you can expect an impressive 6.5 litre V8 engine but this was boosted by a fuel injection to offer added torque. At the same time, the soft suspension of the Mulsanne was addressed to give a more responsive ride. Anti-roll bar gates were improved while the Turbo R retained the option of a three or four-speed automatic gearbox. You also get the sleek looks associated with this marque and the R is so impressive that once, Motor Trend Magazine called it ‘the first Bentley in decades deserving of the famous name”.
How it Drives
The performance of the used Bentley Turbo R on the road made it one of the most popular models to come out of this stable. The improvement on the Mulsanne was clearly in evidence as it combined the supreme power of that fuel injection engine with a far more responsive drive.
