17k-mile Bentley Turbo R cold start / test drive

The Bentley Turbo R was a legend in its own lifetime; it represented Bentley getting very serious about getting back to its roots as a performance brand – a luxury motorcar for those who wanted to get places in a refined hurry. The familiar 6.75-litre V8 gained a single massive Garrett turbocharger, good for 328 bhp and a stunning 516 lb-ft of torque. This particular car comes from our friends at the Rolls-Royce Foundation, and will soon be offered on carsandbids.com. Finished in Royal blue with a blue leather interior and St. James red trim and coachlines, it shows only 17k miles from new and benefits from recent specialist service totaling over $15,000. Today it presents as fully original, fully functional, and a stunning example of the legendary Turbo R. Do you have a classic or collectible car you’d like to sell or consign?
