Overview

Released in February 1995, the Bentley Turbo S was a performance saloon. Manufactured in Crewe, England, the rear-wheel drive Turbo S was powered by a 6.75-litre turbocharged V8 petrol engine that was mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.

The 6.75-litre pushrod V8 engine had an aluminium-silicon alloy cylinder block, an exhaust-driven Garrett turbocharger, a liquid-to-air intercooler, two valves per cylinder, a compression ratio of 8.7:1 and Zytek EMS3 digital engine management and digital ignition. Supplied by General Motors, the four-speed 4L80-E automatic transmission was used due to its high torque capacity.

Based on the Turbo R, the Turbo S was 5268 mm long, 2008 mm wide, 1485 mm tall and had a 3061 mm long wheelbase. Compared to the Turbo R, however, the Turbo S could be identified by its higher integrated bumpers, lower grille shell and 17-inch alloy wheels as per the 1994 Continental R. Production of the Turbo S was limited to 60 vehicles.

The Turbo S had independent front suspension with lower wishbones and independent rear suspension with semi-trailing arms; both the front and rear suspension featured electronically-controlled dampers and adaptive ride control. The Turbo S was also fitted with a viscous differential.

Safety equipment

Standard safety equipment for the Bentley Turbo S included dual front airbags, ABS and traction control.

Features

Standard Bentley Turbo S features included 17-inch alloy wheels with 255/55 WR17 tyres, a ten speaker sound system with a CD player and six-disc CD stacker, climate control air conditioning, leather upholstery, cruise control, central locking, push-button start, a tilt-adjustable steering wheel, power windows and power mirrors.
