G-MANN ◊ 2006-08-13 14:42	So 90s Bentley Turbos are actually called Bentley Brooklands?

G-MANN ◊ 2006-08-13 15:58	About the Rushmore page, are you sure it isn't a Turbo R? Have a look at my comment on the page.
juergensmuda ◊ 2006-08-16 19:52	Yeah, I am sure as the raditor of the Turbo R is taller and does have a different airdam, different mirrors and does have quarter windows to the front door. The Brooklands is the successor of the Turbo R
Sir Henry ◊ 2008-09-22 21:49	I disagree with Mr. Smuda. The radiator on the Turbo and Brooklands are of exactly the same dimensions, as are the door mirrors. The difference lies in the front spoiler and the type of alloy wheels (apart, obviously, from the engines!). Also, the Brooklands did not replace the Turbo R, but ran alongside it as a cheaper and less sporty alternative. The quarter window you're referring to was omitted from the entire range of Rolls-Royce and Bentley saloons in 1995, with the introduction of the 'facelift' models. -- Last edit: 2008-09-30 07:02:50
