The R-Type can maintain 120mph for hours without breaking a sweat. The H.J. Mulliner Sports Saloon (Fastback) design was the result of extensive collaboration between the Mulliner and Crewe design offices. Mulliner went so far as to consult with Pininfarina in the early stages. Final design refinements for low drag and stability were based upon clay model tests. Weight saving was a critical factor and this was achieved with Mulliner's proprietary all aluminum lightweight construction method.
