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 to retire aging 6.75-liter V8 with current Mulsanne

Thu, May 26 2016

The massive 6.75-liter V8 in the Bentley Mulsanne is one of the oldest engines still in production. But it may not be around for much longer. According to Car and Driver, Bentley intends to finally put the big old pushrod V8 to pasture once the current Mulsanne is phased out, thus putting an end to a saga that goes back some 57 years. Powerful as it may be, ever-stricter exhaust emissions and fuel-consumption regulations will see that the L Series V8, originally introduced way back in 1957, doesn't stay in production forever. Whenever the Mulsanne is replaced, it will reportedly get a brand-new twelve-cylinder engine. Bentley is currently the world's largest producer of dozen-pot powerplants. Production of the British automaker's 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 far outpaces anything from Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ferrari, or Lamborghini. Over the decades since its introduction, Bentley's long-serving V8 has gone from making an "adequate" amount of power and torque to an impressive 530 horsepower and a positively massive 811 pound-feet (with the help of a couple of turbochargers). Its eventual discontinuation wouldn't be the first attempt on the life of the 6.75-liter engine. When BMW briefly took control of both Rolls and Bentley, it replaced the big engine by a smaller 4.4-liter V8. Customer demand led Bentley to bring the old engine back. It will likely be some time before we get details of Bentley's next powerplant. Models like the Mulsanne and Rolls-Royce Phantom tend to stick around for a long time, and the latest version of Bentley's flagship was just released earlier this year. Related Video:

Bentley Continental GT commemorating Pikes Peak win is one green machine

Tue, Dec 3 2019

Back in June, the Bentley Continental GT set a production-car record for the Pikes Peak hill climb, and now there's a limited edition to celebrate. Maybe the wait was so the brand's Mulliner division could work up a batch of the car's special green paint, which Bentley calls Radium. The green hue is taken from the hill climb car's livery, and it appears not only on the body, but also on the Pirelli P Zero tires and inside as contrast stitching, floor mat edging, and embroidery of Pikes Peak on the headrests. The not-quite-matching color on the brake calipers is Bentley's Acid Green. Besides Radium, the model also is offered in black. The special edition also features Pikes Peak graphics on the front fenders, a carbon fiber body kit, a black roof panel, black side mirrors, and 22-inch wheels also in black. Buyers can opt for Bentley's "100" grille (honoring the brand's centenary year), as pictured here. Besides the Radium green accents, the interior also comes with carbon fiber and gloss-black trim. A graphic showing one of five different sections of the track appears above the glove box, along with the record time of 10:18.488. Bentley's rotating center display also is included along with comfort-spec front seats and deep pile floor mats. All of the cars will be fitted with the 626-hp W12 engine. Pricing for the Pikes Peak limited edition depends on buyer specification, so there's no official MSRP. Nor is there a specific model name. But Bentley is saying that only 15 cars with this special set of extras will be built, and even without a name, it shouldn't be hard to distinguish them from other Continental GTs.

Bentley reveals Bentayga app for Apple Watch

Thu, May 5 2016

The word "bespoke" is often used in conjunction with British luxury cars. In the case of the new Apple Watch app for Bentley's new SUV, the Bentayga, the carmaker is eager to mention the app that uses "bespoke Bentley digital architecture." The new app synchronizes with the vehicle's touchscreen remote interface via Bluetooth. Bentley says the app handles adjusting the entertainment, heating, air conditioning, and seat massaging functions. Vehicle speed, distance, and outside temperature are also displayed on the watch. It's likely more convenient to precisely adjust the A/C from the back seat by just tapping on one's watch, instead of asking the driver to turn it down a notch. The app is now available for download from the App Store. Related Video: Image Credit: Bentley Motors Bentley Technology Gadgets Infotainment SUV bentley bentayga
