Bentley Turbo R Sport
(1996)

Bentley Turbo R Sport,
1996, #BRX57829. A satellite navigation system installed on board this sports car was
standard.
For the European market
only and in an almost minuscule series of an anticipated production of but 30 cars per
year the Bentley Turbo R Sport was built for those European highways with no speed limits
and Alpine passes which did allow to make full use of a super car's potential. With its
breathtaking torque of 750 NM (within the range from 2000 to 3450 rpm!), a top speed of
150 mph and electronic traction assistance as well as adaptive ride control the Bentley
Turbo R Sport left nothing to be desired. This was reflected by features like a satellite
navigation system and the choice between dark veneer or Kevlar (a carbon fibre) for
fascia and door cappings. A most advanced anti-lock braking system with larger diameter discs
allowed to reduce speed from 100 mph to 0 mph in 4.96 seconds. Rolls-Royce did publish
a
special brochure about this model but didn't list it in their "Bentley Production
History 1921 to 1996"...
