Bentley Turbo R vs Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit 2 (1992) | A Battle of British Elegance
The Rolls Royce Silver Spirit II and the Bentley R Turbo from 1992 are identical, sort of. They rolled out of the same factory in Crewe, they both have a 6.75L V8 engine and more importantly the two I reviewed are both blue.
If you'd told me a few years back I'd be driving a Rolls Royce and a Bentley in the same video I wouldn't have believed you. I consider myself very lucky and I hope I have done a good job detailing the differences. This is my first time reviewing a classic car so hopefully I did the badges proud.
Let me know in the comments which one you'd prefer! My 2nd favourite thing about cars after driving them is talking to other car people about cars.
I've just touched down in Australia and I'll be reviewing cars over here for the next few months so if you have any suggestions please through them my way!

    We just sold our 1998 Continental R which has the same running gear as the Turbo R. It's a fine machine but without trying they cost a lot to own/run. We took ours on a 3,000 mile tour through Portugal & Spain and guess what - nothing happened. Even on those European roads people would wave at us which was a perfect surprise. Everywhere it's a conversation and whenever possible we would invite people to sit in it. For those that have never had the chance before, it's a real treat, so unlike anything you can buy today. We scratched that itch with the Bentley but somehow I keep getting drawn to the adverts, maybe another one awaits.

    • @TheRacingLines
      @TheRacingLines วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks for the comment Richard, I'm not sure I've ever seen a Continental R in person. I do like the shape though, it always reminded me of a bit more classic looking Brooklands Coupé. That sounds like a really special trip. I don't mean to be a bad influence but I fully support you purchasing another! 😉 You only live once!

      @ The ventilation in those cars have two temperature wheels - one for your feet and one for your face. All occupants have the same temperature. Other high end cars had a separate temperature for the driver and for the passenger instead but no separate temperature for feet and face level.

    10+ years ago, if asked, I'd have taken the Bentley over the Rolls in a shot but today I'm not so sure. Yes, the Turbo R has more poke, but the Silver Spirit has plenty for the way you'd realistically be driving either under most circumstances.

    I had a 96 Turbo RL which was the same spec as the test car. Lovely old thing but in the 1st year it cost me £14k in repairs. The mileage was less than 38k but it needed the dreaded head gaskets done and the suspension spheres were shot. I converted it to normal struts and springs instead. A central locking actuator went as well and that part alone was about £300. Very cheap cars to buy but incredibly easy to spend the same again just to keep it on the road.

    Please be advised that the reason the Turbo R feels like it “has more turbo” is because the Silver Spirit II engine is naturally aspirated and is not turbocharged; it produces 221 net hp/398 lb ft torque. Turbo R’s engine 316 net hp/455 lb ft torque. If given the chance, by all means take both out onto high speed motorways for another comparison review. Apart from the last irritating bit in the Turbo R, haha, this video is a refreshing run in both cars that engaged this experienced enthusiast effectively and enjoyably.

    I've often compared the both of them, and in the beginning of the video you said that the Bentley has much better looking headlights and that the silver spirit has an uglier grill, and funny thing is I always thought the exact opposite when comparing the both. Theyr'e quite similar except for the better looking headlights and grill on the silver spirit is what I thought haha. And that's because I like the understated elegance of that silver spirit's front, it's what fits the entire car much better than that aggressive and with the plastic around the headlights of the Turbo R much cheaper looking front of the Bentley. The Bentley's grill somehow doesn't fit my taste in this range of cars, that's why I'd go for the Spirit when only buying one of them. Fantastic video though! Keep up the good work

      Haha that is a brilliant comment! I wonder if because I'm used to reviewing newer cars, the sheer size of the Rolls grill and the headlights seem bulky in my head compared with all the xenon headlights and LEDS there are these days. Thanks for the comment, really appreciate it!

    Only just discovered your channel and it’s really interesting. Loved the Zodiac, Consul/ Granada and it’s nice to look back at older cars and stylish and individual they were back then. Great video and I also watched your Bentley and Rolls Royce comparison too.

      Thanks so much for the comment, really nice to hear you enjoyed the videos. Loved making that video with my Grandad. And I agree, the Zodiac was my favourite of the ones you mentioned. Hopefully get my hands on a few more in the future!

      If you are looking for a video in order to judge and review how the UK "looks", why are you choosing to do so via a car comparison video covering only a few square miles (out of circa 97,000)? The fact that you have done just that marks you out as an imbecile
