To this day, I would still like to actually own one of these. According to my book:
- 5,270 pounds (my '05 Phaeton weighed 5,194 pounds),
- 328 hp at 3800 RPM, 487 lb-ft of torque at 2400 RPM (335 hp at 6500 RPM, 317 lb-ft at 3500 RPM for the Phaeton),
- wheelbase of 120.5" (118.1" for the Phaeton),
- one Garrett T04-type turbocharger,
- there was no room in the engine bay for an intercooler, and
- the "R" stands for Roadholding!

Me too. Perhaps some day.
Along with the Lotus Esprit, which I adore, the initial input cost is worryingly low. So I imagine many for sale are not well maintained.
This one looks ok, but who knows with these things.
@Chris D: Ugh, I hate motorized shoulder belts.
I went to a Bentley specialist in Hayward and they were saying that we should stay away from sub-$30k Turbo Rs.
Me three! That red one is sweet.
