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 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, 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. It was essentially a "runout special", an effort to sell of the last Mulsanne style bodies before the introduction of the Arnage.
A few even rarer editions of the RT were made:
The Bentley Turbo RT Olympian: in 1998, London dealer Jack Barclay agreed to have a small number of cars built to incorporate many special features. These are probably the rarest of version of the RT- although not officially recognised as such, therefore the RT Mulliner commands a much higher premium. These were sold as the Bentley Turbo RT Olympian. They can be identified by the five-spoke alloy wheels and the "Olympian" boot badge. It is estimated that only four examples of this version were ever built.
