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 unveils 202-mph Continental GT Speed Convertible
Tue, 01 Jan 2013That purple haze all in your eyes is the 2013 Bentley GT Speed Convertible. The cynical view is, "Bah, take a GT Speed and cut the top off. There. Pass the salt, please...". But when you're Bentley, more than 90 years old, and charging these kinds of ducats, there's no reason to take the cynic's shortcut. So of course the GT Speed Convertible gets all of the Speed-family accoutrements: matrix radiator grille hiding a twin-turbocharged, 6.0-liter W12 with 616 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, eight-speed ZF transmission enabling 15 percent better fuel economy, beefier lowered suspension, larger rifled exhaust tips, inlet manifold finished in black crackle and a Mulliner Driving Specification cabin.
Among the many refinements added to the convertible, though, are neck warmers in the seats, the 21-inch wheels unique to this car, class-leading stiffness - admittedly, it's a very small class, but its torsional rigidity of 22,500 Nm/degree is only 500 Nm below that of the Lamborghini Gallardo coupe. The stiffening required to achieve that number will undoubtedly have something to do with the 485-pound weight gain over the GT Speed Coupe.
Still, when the GT Speed Convertible weighs 5,500 pounds, what's a few hundred between friends? More importantly, the weight doesn't scuttle performance: 0-60 comes in 4.1 seconds, a tenth shy of the coupe. The gap stretches as you approach The Ton, the GT Speed Convertible needing just 9.7 seconds to get there, the coupe just nine seconds. Trust us, though, everyone will be too busy blasting along to notice. Everyone will want to pack light, however, because the Speed Convertible loses 3.5 cubic feet of trunk space. It remains the fastest four-seat convertible in the world with a 202-mph top speed.
Bentley forging ahead with SUV development
Wed, 06 Aug 2014Bentley has a whole mess of new models in the pipeline, including a completely new coupe, two-door and high-performance versions of the Mulsanne and an even more hard-core version of the Continental GT3-R. But the most vital product under development at Crewe is its upcoming new SUV, and that's what our spy photographers have caught undergoing testing.
This prototype appears to be the same one we spotted a couple of months ago, although this time the NewBentley.com stickers appear to have been taped over (presumably to call less attention to itself) and the whole thing is riding lower to the ground to better test its brakes and cooling systems.
While the form clearly shares much with the EXP 9 F concept that previewed its development at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, the design has clearly been worked over with a front end and tailgate that are easier on the eyes and more in keeping with the company's styling language.
Is Bentley testing a hardcore Continental GT V8?
Tue, 15 Apr 2014The Bentley Continental GT V8 is a darn good car. The GT V8 S, even more so. It's only logical, then that an even hotter Conti GT would be commensurately better. At least, we're hoping that's what the minds at Bentley's Crewe, UK headquarters were thinking when they dispatched this bewinged GT V8 to the Nürburgring.
This Conti GT stands out not only because of its wing, but because of its improved aerodynamics as a whole. A new front fascia, complete with a body-color lip spoiler is the big visual takeaway of this car's sportier intensions, while our spies claim this white whale rides on a lowered, firmer suspension.
The real question about this car has to do with its powerplant, though. What's under hood? The GT V8 S returns an impressive 521 horsepower while the base Conti W12 churns out 567 ponies, meaning there isn't a lot of wiggle room between what is currently the priciest V8 model and the cheapest twelve-cylinder car. The 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, though, is certainly capable of handling more than 521 hp, as Audi uses a 560-hp variant in the RS7. Our spies, meanwhile, suggest that this may merely be an even lighter version of the GT V8 S - maybe like an RS model - that is lighter and stiffer, but no more powerful.
