The Bentley Mulsanne was a performance Luxury car produced by Bentley Motors Limited from 1980 through 1992 though derivative models like the Continental A turbocharger, or turbo, is an air Compressor used for forced-induction of an Internal combustion engine.

Robert Bosch GmbH is a German diversified technology-based corporation which was started in 1886 by Robert Bosch in Stuttgart Germany. Fuel injection is a system for mixing fuel with air in an Internal combustion engine. A torque (τ in Physics, also called a moment (of force is a pseudo- vector that measures the tendency of a force to rotate an object about It also sported a retuned suspension and wider tires on alloy wheels, a first for a Bentley. Motor Trend called the Turbo R "the first Bentley in decades deserving of the famous name" in their review of the car on its introduction to the United States in 1989. Motor Trend is one of the oldest Automobile magazines still publishing.
The suspension changes, though seemingly subtle, transformed the heavy car into a real performer. Anti-roll bar rates were increased 60% front and 80% rear and tuned dampers were added.

A Panhard rod (also called Panhard bar or track bar) is a component of a car suspension system that provides lateral location of the Spring rates remained the same as on the Mulsanne.
Although official figures were never provided by Rolls-Royce, Motor Trend estimated power output at 297 hp (221 kW) with 487 ft·lbf (660 N·m) of torque.
