1995 - BENTLEY TURBO S
Rare limited series of only 75 cars
The only one known in France at this time
As-new condition
Bentley, one of the most prestigious of all car makes, was founded on 18 January 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley. Today, it is part of the enormous Volkswagen group and still sets the standard for top-end cars. Bentley established its credentials among the leading car manufacturers when it won the Le Mans 24 Hours race on five occasions in the 1920s. The consequences of the Great Depression in 1929 put paid to
Bentley's independence and it was absorbed by Rolls-Royce in 1931. From then onwards, the development of the two makes would be inextricably linked.
Taking as its starting point the excellent light-alloy V8 engine which had been designed at the start of the 1960s, Bentley was able to expand its range from the 1980s and gradually recover financially, thanks to the relaunch of the Bentley brand, whose cars had traditionally offered more sporting handling. Thus, at the Geneva Motor
Show in 1982, the group unveiled the Bentley Mulsanne Turbo, fitted with a turbocharged version of its 6.7-litre V8 producing an estimated 330 bhp. For the Turbo R and long-wheelbase RL models which succeeded it, this engine was fitted in 1989 with KE Motronic fuel injection and an air-to-air intercooler| they also received a fourspeed automatic gearbox and self-levelling suspension. Their handling was meant to be sporting without neglecting the absolute luxury offered on board.
The Bentley which we are offering for sale is an exceptionally rare Turbo S model, which should not be confused with the much more common Turbo R. Production of the Turbo S was limited to 75 cars, produced during a single year, the 1995 model year. It was set apart by the presence of a turbocharged engine with a water-toair intercooler, taking its power output above the symbolic threshold of 400 bhp and reaching a maximum of 408 bhp. The Turbo S had neither a successor nor a predecessor and rep
