  First Drive: 2007 Bentley Arnage T   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Bentley's contemporary range can be split into two camps: "old money" and "new money." The Continental GT, Flying Spur and even the new GTC are the choice of the professionally successful.
The 2007 Bentley Arnage T is something of a motoring curiosity but it's no longer a car for which you need to make excuses.
Bentley says this motorized gentleman's club is capable of 179 mph and will power its way from zero to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds.

  Bentley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perhaps the most iconic Bentley of the period is the 4.5 litre "Blower Bentley", with its distinctive supercharger projecting forward from the bottom of the grille.
Uncharacteristically fragile for a Bentley, however, it was not the racing workhorse that the 6 litre Bentley was.
In April, 2005, Bentley confirmed plans to produce a 4-seat convertible model, the Azure, derived from the Arnage Drophead Coupe prototype, at Crewe beginning in 2006.

 IAA '03: Bentley Arnage — From Sports Car to Limousine
Indeed it was a practice WO Bentley started in the 1920s when cars using essentially the same engines and chassis could be found either wearing elegant limousine coachwork and transporting the cream of society from one function to the next, or crossing the finishing line at Le Mans, the entire field trailing in their wake.
Using the Arnage R as its base, the Arnage RL benefits from a 250mm (9.84 inches) extension to its wheelbase to provide unparalleled levels of luxury and comfort for those travelling in the rear.
Though the Arnage RL is, like all Bentleys, more than capable of enthusing its driver, this is one Bentley in which most owners will typically occupy the back seat with a chauffeur behind the wheel.

 2005 Bentley Arnage Limousine Production   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
In the same spirit as the coachbuilt Bentleys of the 1920s and ’30s, customers will be able to commission a car to their own specification, and create a unique statement that will be valued in the future.
Bentley Mulliner’s expertise in bespoke interiors does not mean attention is taken away from the critical design and engineering requirements of such a complex car.
Indeed, of all the Bentleys in the company’s history, it is safe to say that the R-Type Continental stands alongside the original 3-litre and Speed Six as the most important and influential of all cars to wear the winged ‘B’.

 2005 Bentley Arnage T   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
(from Bentley Press Release) The 2005 model year confirms the Arnage T in its role as the powerhouse of the range, an unforgettable driving experience and the 21st century personification of the tidal wave on wheels, a phrase first coined to describe a Bentley Turbo over 20 years ago.
It endows the Arnage T with the ability to reach 60mph from rest in 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 168mph (270km/h) - this from a car capable of carrying four adults and their luggage in traditional Grand Touring style.
So while the Arnage T also benefits from a significant improvement in ride quality, it is its still sharper handling that drivers will notice most.

 2005 Bentley Arnage - Ratings & Reviews - Dan Jedlicka - MSN Autos
Bentley was one of the crown jewels of the British auto empire.
Early Bentleys were raced by a small group of wealthy, flamboyant, champagne-swilling entrepreneurs called "The Bentley Boys." Giving the Bentley a legendary reputation were its Le Mans victories, the notoriety and wealth of Bentley owners and the exciting experience of driving one.
Bentley was in and out of financial trouble in the 1920s, and even major assistance from Bentley Boy Woolf Barnato, who became company chairman, couldn't make it profitable.

 Bentley Arnage Brochure
That the Arnage sets new standards for Bentley roadholding, handling and ride is due both to the strength of the Arnage bodyshell, which is 65% stiffer than that of its predecessor.
The specification of the Arnage suspension shows an uncompromising intent; double wishbone independent suspension, front and rear, are mounted upon steel subframes, improving ride, refinement and the precision of the handling.
The new Bentley Arnage is infinitely more advanced than its earlier namesake, but it, too achieves an exceptional blend of power, efficiency and refinement and thus a thoroughbred inheritor of the Bentley engineering tradition.

Bentley is a slightly lower-priced companion brand to Rolls-Royce, and the Arnage sedan is the same basic car as the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph but with a slightly different appearance and unique features.
The major change this year is that the Arnage Green Label model and its 4.4-liter BMW V-8 engine stay in England and only the Arnage Red Label version comes to the United States with a Bentley 6.7-liter V-8 and a price tag in the neighborhood of $210,000.
Bentley offers buyers a palette of 27 exterior colors for the hand-built Arnage, and custom finishes are available to those who want something special.

 CanadianDriver: Preview - Bentley Arnage T
The technical specs for the new Bentley Arnage T speak for themselves: 450 horsepower at 4,100 rpm, 645 lb-ft of torque at 3,250 rpm, 0 to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds, top speed 270 km/h.
The Arnage T is the result of a three year project to re-engineer the current Arnage Red Label sedan.
As the brakes of the Arnage were completely upgraded in 1999 with the introduction of 18 inch wheel rims, no further modifications were needed except some aerodynamic modifications to the flow of air to the brakes.

 VWvortex Forums: Bentley Arnage RL by Mulliner
Bentley Mulliner's sphere of operation extends from one tiny modification to an otherwise standard car, such as the embroidery of the owner's initials in the upholstery, to the design, commission and execution of a new State limousine for Her Majesty, The Queen.
The Arnage range in general and the Arnage RL by Mulliner in particular are the ultimate expressions of this art.
The Arnage was first announced in 1998 and will be remembered as the car that led to the regeneration of the company, and the one whose success paved the way for this year's introduction of the 198mph Continental GT coupe.

Bentley engineers have softened the springs and added variable rate dampers that can be tuned to suit the owner.
And once you drive the Bentley Arnage R, you will never want to ride in the not-terribly-comfortable backseat, even with the ample reading light and a mirror to check your ascot cleverly set into the C pillar.

 Bentley’s Arnage R Exudes Refinement, Craftsmanship
Where the Arnage R exudes luxury is in the cockpit, where everything is hand-covered in fine Connolly leather, bird’s-eye maple and custom Wilton carpeting.
But the Arnage R is not a snob, cruising down the lane of the local drive-in movie, where it garners as much attention as the feature presentation.
The twin turbos are the vital piece of equipment that moves the Arnage from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.9 seconds, according to Bentley’s figures.

 Car and Driver Magazine - Bentley Arnage T - October 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The Arnage T is named for a famous racing corner at Le Mans, the circuit that's the wellspring of Bentley fame, thanks to five victories in the famous 24-hour race, including a string of four straight.
Bentley has been turbocharging its 6.8-liter pushrod V-8 engines since 1982, but this is a thoroughly revamped 6.8, and it packs a thoroughly modern big-league punch.
In fact, even the hustle is tempered to some degree by powertrain computer calibrations that kick the transmission down a gear about the same time that full boost comes on, producing jerks and lurches that are unseemly in such a posh conveyance.

 IGN: Machine: Bentley Arnage T
Bentley on the other hand was scooped up by Ferdinand Piech on his spending spree back in the day, and is benefiting from the practically bottomless talent resource that is VAG.
VAG's Bentley turnaround crew claims that they have spent more money on the development of the Arnage Series II than was spent on the original car; which might just be true, factoring in inflation rates and the life period of an average Bentley.
With the restyling also came the Arnage T. This car is ideologically based on the old saying that you drive a Bentley whereas you ride in a Rolls.

Bentley, the 1946 MK6, and the overall effect is a subtle nod to the power and performance that lies beneath the stunning Meteor Blue bodywork.
The Arnage Drophead Coupé also benefits from the introduction of the new comfort suspension system used on the Arnage R. To guarantee the Drophead Coupé met aggressive body stiffness targets set at the start of the project, significant stiffening members have been added to the underlying Arnage chassis.

 Bentley Arnage Green Label
On 26th April 1998 the Bentley Arnage was unveiled to the public at the Sarthe Circuit in France.
The Bentley Arnage Red Label was launched in September 1999 and sported the "big block" powertrain.
To a certain degree this seemed to be an in-house concurrent and caused some speculation, whether or not this was a result of Volkswagen's - the new owner of the marque after a fierce take-over battle with BMW - desire to mark a clear separation from their Munich-based competitor.

Once, before BMW and Volkswagen split ownership of Bentley and Rolls-Royce, the high-end luxury sector belonged exclusively to the Arnage and Silver Seraph, its Rolls sister.
Under VW ownership, Bentley has effectively re-engineered the seven-year-old Arnage twice: once to replace the BMW-sourced 4.4-litre turbo V8 with the ancient 6.75-litre turbo V8, and again in early 2002 when the engineers systematically went through the entire car.
Incredibly, Bentley has also found a way for the 45-year-old ohv V8 to meet Euro4 emission levels, while retaining the same level of power and torque.
