Bentley Turbo RT 1997

[RandomCarGuy17]

This is probably one of the only Bentleys I like. That's because it's a sporty sedan and I'm usually more for cars with sportiness applied to them. Anyway, I remember learning a bit about this car's existance when I was a kid and saw it in a car book. I thought it was a nice sport sedan with its performance figures and sporty looks. Anyway, I do hope to see this in Gran Turismo someday or in some other racing game.

To be clear, I suggested the RT version since it was a bit more rare and Polyphony is known for usually picking the more rare cars to model in the games.

Specs:
Engine - Turbocharged 6.8L (6.75L actually, I rounded up the rating) V8
Drivetrain - Front Engine, RWD
Transmission - 4-Speed AT
Power - 400 hp (298 kw) @4,000 rpm
Torque - 490 ft-lbs @2,000 rpm
Top Speed - 152 mph

............Sure GT does need more road going Bentleys, but...what's up with non-gentleman-ly 5 spoke wheels??
They look like they fell off a 90s Mustang!
Oh, and it's not exactly 6.8, it's a 6.75, you know. Or a six and three quarter V8, as it's known traditionally.

How should I know? Go ask Bentley if you're actually curious.
Though, I will note that I actually like those wheels, just not in chrome though.

Yes, I do know, but I didn't want to write 6.75. It didn't sound right in my head.
I prefer my liter ratings to be rounded up to the nearest tenth. Ratings listed in hundredths for some reason drive me crazy.

...but that distinction is ingrained in the Bentley mythos! It's even stamped onto the engine!

I guess I'll honor the mythos, OP now with another small update.

The bumpers and wheels on these two are far more acceptable than those on the cars in the first two pictures. I'd want them in this trim but the original two are a bit OTT for me.

I agree that they look better, but I honestly don't care what wheels get modeled. I just want the car itself.
