I know this may seems a stupid question(which it is) but here it goes. Besides horsepower and wheels, what are the main differences? Whats added on the R thats not on the t5 turbo?

Well, I guess I can assume you are speaking about either a 1996 or 1997 model (T5 gave me a hint)...An "R" is a limited production model of an 850 T5.

The "R" came in only certain colors, had optional 17" alloys specific to that model, had a much more powerful audio system (200W or 240W vs. 100W), better loudspeakers, specific front and rear spoilers, suede (Alcantara) interiors (only a limited run of 1997 850 GLTs and T5s had similar interiors), special and unique wood trim, fog lights as standard equipment and...well, my memory has ran out of info!
