Bentley Turbo R Only 4864 Miles. Like New. on 2040-cars
Tallahassee, Florida, United States
This vehicle is in amazing like new condition. One owner, with only 4864 miles. Always garaged, the exterior is in showroom condition with no scratches, dents or blemishes. Interior is also like new. A very rare find, and possibly the lowest mileage turbo r on the planet. Drives excellent, ac works as well as all power accesories, including the original cellular phone and wool floor mats. Inspections are welcome. These vehicles were truly handmade, in England with excellent craftsmanship. Low mileage examples are difficult to find, and one like this with 4864 miles is a true collectors investment. Below is exceprt from Hemmings, After decades of being little more than re-badged Rolls-Royces, Bentleys--real, W.O.-style, genuine performance-luxury motorcars--were back in a big way when the Turbo R made its debut at the 1985 Geneva Motor Show. It wouldn't be until 1989 that exceedingly well-heeled Americans could purchase their own Turbo Rs, but those who did got a taste of what the brand had promised in its earliest days, and what it would evolve back to in the decades to come. While the Turbo R--sold here in its original form through 1994--was appropriately expensive, its current values are surprisingly reasonable, especially considering what a Bentley costs today.Developed from the limited-production Bentley Mulsanne Turbo--a high-performance variant of Rolls-Royce's new-in-1980 Silver Spirit--the Turbo R was powered by an all-aluminum, Bosch fuel-injected, turbocharged and intercooled 6,750cc (412-cu.in.) V-8 engine. The distinguished firm followed Rolls-Royce's tradition of demurring about power output (preferring to answer, in a tongue-in-cheek manner for this special car, "sufficient, plus 30 percent"), but estimates suggested a genuine 300hp and almost 500-lbs.ft. of torque. These figures were backed up by its 6.7-second 0-60 MPH sprint and 135-plus MPH top speed: not bad for a 5,270-pound four-door containing enough leather, wool and wood to outfit the library at Downton Abbey. The trade-off? An EPA combined rating of 9 MPG.A long-wheelbase Turbo RL was added to the line in 1992, helping push Bentley's U.S. sales from 144 in 1991 to 196 in 1993. Worldwide production of the first-generation Turbo R was 4,653 cars between 1985 and 1994, with an additional 1,211 long-wheelbase models from 1992-'94. The Turbo RL models favor passengers over drivers, but they hold their value very well. A last-year RL can still fetch an impressive $75,000 in average condition, $13,000 more than an equivalent 1994 short-wheelbase R.Those prices may not seem like bargains, but first and second-year models are considerably less expensive: A solid driver with higher mileage and average wear can be had for between $20,000 and $30,000, although a top-condition, low-mile example can still command $55,000. These hand-built cars were over-engineered, and their mechanicals are suitably bulletproof, with proper maintenance. R. Pierce Reid, co-owner of the Stowe, Vermont-based Bentley and Rolls-Royce specialty firm, The Vintage Garage, says, "Today, the Turbo R can be an outstanding value, and is beginning to achieve collector status.

Bentley SUV spotted wearing its own suit
Wed, 11 Jun 2014It's been over two years since Bentley unveiled its first SUV concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. In the time since, Bentley has sent it back to the drawing board and started development, embodied just a couple of weeks ago as a test mule wearing the bodywork of an Audi Q7, the replacement for which will share its underpinnings with the new Bentley. But what we have here is our best look yet at the forthcoming big Bentley.
Now wearing its own suit (albeit a heavily camouflaged one), this Bentley SUV prototype was recently spotted undergoing testing. And judging from the NewBentley.com stickers plastered along its flanks and rear bumpers, it seems like the crew from Crewe wanted us to see it - or at very least has resigned itself to the fact that we probably would.
The prototype is already wearing the new round headlamps that were part of the redesign, as well as LED taillights, and the interior photos snapped through the windows give us an idea of what to expect from the completed cabin, including the digital instrument cluster and head-up display at the base of the windshield.
Bentley unveils the Grand Convertible, a droptop Mulsanne Speed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Five years ago, when Bentley was preparing its farewell shindig for the Arnage, reports were that the Arnage's coupe and convertible siblings, the Brooklands and Azure, would get replacements on the Mulsanne platform. Obviously, that hasn't happened, although we were teased with the Mulsanne Vision Concept in 2012. Then, just this summer, we were again teased with rumors of a Brooklands and Azure one-two punch. While it still hasn't happened yet, Bentley's unveiling of the Grand Convertible seems to have put things in gear.
Not 'merely' a roofless Mulsanne, the Grand Convertible appears to be a droptop Mulsanne Speed, powered by a 6.75-liter engine with 530 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque, and fitted with the directional wheels only available on the Mulsanne Speed. Finished outside in Sequin Blue with a "liquid metal" hood and windshield frame and a burl walnut veneer on the tonneau cover - a similar combo used to introduce the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé eight years ago - the cabin is covered in Beluga leather with blue cross-stitching.
Company CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer says Bentley is watching customer reaction to the car, yet the press release says it's been "Developed to signify Bentley's intentions for the future." That sounds like better than even odds we'll be seeing this on the roads. For now, though, you can see it in the high-res gallery above, at the LA Auto Show starting this week, and at Art Basel in Miami after that, and you'll find a bit more info on it in the press release below.
Bentley releases new details on Continental GT3 racer
Thu, 13 Jun 2013Porsche's new LMP1 Prototype isn't the only motorsports news coming out of Volkswagen AG this week. After unveiling its new Continental GT3 at the Paris Motor Show last year, Bentley has released some new images and details as this racecar continues its development. Similar to the Porsche announcement, Bentley's new GT3 marks a significant return to motorsports, only in this case, Bentley hasn't raced a car since 2003 - a winning effort at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
From street to race form, the Continental has dropped about 2,200 pounds by shedding many of the luxury and tech features that make the street-legal Continental GT the car that it is - including 50(!) electronic control units. The Continental GT3 uses the same 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 as the road car, but we're guessing output has been tweaked a bit from the standard 500 horsepower. Except for the carbon fiber hood, decklid and doors, Bentley says that the body of the GT3 is a direct carryover from the Continental GT.
Inside, even a stripped interior and full roll cage won't stop Bentley from being Bentley as it gives this racecar the same attention to detail as its road cars - the seats, steering wheel and door pulls all receiving the hand-crafted treatment from the factory in Crewe. There is no word as to when the Continental GT3 will make its racing debut, but more details about the car can be found below in the official press release.
