The Bentley
Turbo RT was the last, rarest, most
powerful and most expensive of the Turbo line. The Bentley RT came with
the 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS) twin-turbo 6.75 L V8 engine of the two-door
Continental T installed. It is visually differentiated from other
Bentley Turbo models by its sport wheels, radiator mesh grille and
colour-coded bumpers with bright mesh inserts. Performance was
sufficient: with a top speed limited to 150 mph (240 km/h), the
ultra-luxurious Turbo RT was nearly as fast as the sporting German
luxury saloons of the time. The car's base price was US $211,600, or
roughly US$65,000 more than the Turbo R.
The Turbo RT was produced during 1997 and 1998 only,
with 252 units produced.
