The Bentley Turbo RT, powered by a 6.8 L V8 engine with an output of 400 hp, was produced from 1997 to 1998. The RT was the last, rarest, most powerful and most expensive of the Turbo line. It is visually differentiated from other Bentley Turbo models by its sport wheels, radiator mesh grille and colour-coded bumpers with bright mesh inserts. The car's base price was US$211,600 (roughly US$65,000 more than the Turbo R), and just 50 units were produced. Because of its power and rarity, the RT is highly sought after by collectors.
