Obstacles To Designing Rolls-Royce Long Wheelbase Park Ward RR SZ Touring Spur Jankel Mulliner

Rolls-Royce Designer Graham Hull explains the design thinking behind stretching a Rolls-Royce and the engineering problems that it creates. As of 1997, the long wheelbase became standard, with limousine models offered in extra-long only. Inside, a wooden column running down the centre of the dashboard was added. Park Ward Limousine The Rolls-Royce Park Ward Limousine is a limited edition Silver Spur/Spirit mark IV with a 610-millimetre (24 in) extended wheelbase and a 51 mm (2 in) taller roof. The Park Ward replaced the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur/ Rolls-Royce Spirit Touring Limousine. In the middle of the 1998 model year the name was changed to Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward. The model nomenclature on the badge on the rear of the car says Park Ward. Standard equipment on this model included a bar cabinet with crystal decanters and goblets, intercom, an electrically operated division and a backseat sunroof. The Rolls-Royce Park Ward Limousine should not be confused with succeeding stretched Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph Park Ward Rolls-Royce Touring limousines Rolls-Royce touring limousines were built to a Robert Jankel design in cooperation with coach builder Mulliner Park Ward, London. The first Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Limousine was produced in 1982. 16 cars had the 910 mm (36 in) extended wheelbase, and 84 cars with 1,100 mm (42 in) extended wheelbase were produced in 1984 and later. One car had a 360 mm (14 in) Rolls-Royce wheelbase extension. These cars were extended at the B-pillar, between the front and rear doors. From 1991 on, 99 units of the Rolls-Royce Touring Limousine with 610 mm (24 in) wheelbase extension were produced. The car was lengthened at the C-pillar with an opera window added. Like these earlier Rolls-Royce models, most of the cars had fold-down occasional seats in the rear passenger area. The Rolls-Royce Park Ward Limousine was the last one to be officially extended (610 mm or 24 in, again at the C-pillar) with 70 vehicles produced from 1996 to 1999. The Bentley Turbo RT was the last and most expensive of the Turbo R line. The Bentley RT came with a 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS) version of the 6.75 L V8 engine, as used in the Bentley Continental T, which is boosted by a single Garrett AiResearch T04 turbocharger and has a Zytek EMS3 engine management system. This was developed using Formula 1 racing technology, differing from earlier models with the 'Motronic' system. The RT is visually differentiated from other Bentley Turbo R models by its sport wheels, radiator mesh grille and colour-coded bumpers with bright mesh inserts. Performance was sufficient: with a top speed limited to 150 mph (241 km/h), the ultra-luxurious Turbo RT was as fast as the sporting German luxury saloons of the time. The Bentley's base price was US$211,600, or roughly US$65,000 more than the Bentley Turbo R price. The Bentley Turbo RT was produced during 1997 and 1998 only, with 252 units produced. It was essentially a Bentley "runout special", an effort to sell off the last SZ-style bodies before the introduction of the Arnage. A few even rarer editions of the Bentley RT were made: The Bentley Turbo RT Olympian: in 1998, London dealer Jack Barclay agreed to have a small number of cars built to incorporate many special features. These are probably the rarest version of the RT - although not officially recognised as such, therefore the Bentley RT Mulliner commands a much higher premium. These were sold as the Bentley Turbo RT Olympian. They can be identified by the five-spoke Bentley alloy wheels (borrowed from the 'Mulliner' version) and the "Olympian" boot badge. It is estimated that only four examples of this version were ever built. The Bentley Turbo RT Mulliner: The Mulliner version, available only by Bentley special order for the 1998 model year, was even more exclusive and expensive. It boasts a 420 bhp (313 kW; 426 PS) engine with a torque output of 634 lbft (861 Nm): this was achieved by developing a new compressor for the Bentley turbocharger, remapping the engine management system, and modifying the air intake system. Visually, Bentley RT Mulliners have more aerodynamic, rounded bumpers with prominent venting and often foglamps, as well as flared wings to accommodate the wider track and larger 18-inch alloy wheels, sitting on low-profile 255/55 tyres. Each car was built to individual specifications, with many sporting side and bonnet vents and also the smaller Mulliner rear windscreen. One popular feature in Mulliners is a prominent Bentley speedometer for the rear passengers. Just 56 Bentley Mulliner editions were built (all in 1998), of which 17 are right-hand drive. Seven of the Bentley Mulliner editions built are to standard wheelbase specifications, and 49 are on the Bentley long wheelbase. W1RRP The Podcast About Rolls-Royce + Bentley.
