For the 1995 model year Bentley planned to offer a limited run of 100 examples of the Turbo S, a special-edition car only for clients based in European, Middle Eastern, and Asian markets. Outwardly, the Turbo S looked very similar to the car it was based on, the Turbo R. Under the bonnet however, the 6.75-litre Bentley V-8 benefitted from a larger Garrett AirResearch turbocharger and intercooler. The engine produced just over 400 horsepower, and the Turbo S was capable of a top speed of 155 mph. Each special Turbo S engine was numbered with a plaque depicting its serial number out of 75. Despite the exclusive production and impressive performance figures, it its believed Bentley produced just 60 examples of the Turbo S, making it one of the rarer models manufactured by the company.
This 1995 Bentley Turbo S is finished in Sherwood Mica with a Sandstone pinstripe. Its engine proudly displays plaque number four. The car was delivered new to Bentley of Munich in Germany, and was subsequently imported to Japan, where it is believed to have resided for most of its life. Current ownership purchased the car out of Japan in 2020 and imported it to the United States the same year. Exterior features on the car include color-matched mirrors, Continental R wheels shod in Michelin Latitude Sport 3 tires, and Turbo S badging on the fenders and trunk. The interior features bolstered seats trimmed in Sandstone hides with Sandstone piping, Conifer carpet with Spruce binding, a walnut dashboard with green dash pad, and walnut waist rails with a Bentley motif; additionally, the rear passengers benefit from vanities in the C-pillars as well as reading lights. The original radio unit has since been upgraded with a Panasonic CN-HX3000D head unit. The car is accompanied by a copy of its Bentley vehicle specification report.
This beautiful Bentley Turbo S is believed to be one of just 60 examples built, and one of very few to have since been imported to the United States.
