Underneath this rare Bentley coupe sits the chassis and running gear from Bentley"s Turbo R. So that means a big, 6.75-litre turbo V8, around 400bhp and 0 60mph in six seconds. The topside however, is totally bespoke. Welcome to the 1991 Bentley Turbo RL Empress II Coupe: one of just five models ever built, and also one of the oddest-looking Bentleys in existence. Odd, but in an interesting way. Hooper & Company is responsible for the coachwork, constructed entirely from aluminium, turning the four-door Turbo RL saloon into a really long two-door rarity. H&C built stuff for the royal family, so it"s proper.
