Show search form In 1998, the high-end sedan Bently Arnage was introduced in Turin. In the same year, manual production of the model was established. The first generation Bentley Arnage was practically a "clone" of the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph.

The fundamental difference between the Arnage and the Silver Seraph was the powertrain. Rolls-Royce was powered by a V12 engine, and a special version of the 4.4-liter V8 built by BMW was developed for Bentley. A few months later, the famous British 6.75-liter V8 began to be installed on the model. The debut of this power unit - at that time its volume was 6.25liters - took place back in 1959 - on the Bentley Continental R Mulliner Le Mans coupe. In 1970, the volume of the engine was brought to the legendary 6.75 liters.

In the spring of 2004, the Arnage was redesigned. The changes mainly affected the styling and interior. The headlights are round and separate with integrated direction indicators and xenon light bulbs. The bonnet has got a more elegant shape, and the radiator grille has been reduced in width and received a mesh pattern made by the laser perforation method.

The interior has a new centralI have a console with a more ergonomic air conditioning control unit and a reduced number of control buttons, some of which have been removed under aluminum or wood panels.

The L410IT engine installed on the Arnage developed 400 hp. and 835 Nm in the R version or 450 hp and 875 Nm in the T version. The power unit was paired with a 4-speed automatic gearbox.

For the most discerning customers, there is the Arnage RL model, extended by 250 mm. Thanks to the base of 3366 mm, the space for the rear passengers is increased. In addition to traditional individual seat adjustments and separate climate control, they will also receive a DVD player. As an option, the Arnage RL can be ordered with a radiator grille with vertical chrome bars in the style of the classic Bentley of the 20s. By chassis design andThe Arnage RL powertrain is completely identical to the base Arnage R sedan.

In 2007, the second generation Bentley Arnage was introduced.

The task was difficult - to preserve the spirit of the brand, and at the same time to develop a model of a completely different level of quality, in performance, technology and style corresponding to the title of a car for the 21st century. The designers were helped by the fact that the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph was discontinued, and therefore the exterior of the Bentley Arnage automatically became exclusive.

The first thing that was done was to significantly strengthen the structure of the monocoque body. Bulky designwhom Bentley did not provide adequate torsional stiffness. The second-generation Arnage has a new underbody, front and rear overhangs, roof and roof struts, and the rigidity of the load-bearing structure has been increased by ten percent. The engineers have made many changes to the aerodynamics.

Redesigned double-wishbone front and rear suspension and ARC variable damping electro-hydraulic shock absorbers give the vehicle excellent handling.

The changes to the new model are quite noticeable. Especially in the front. Instead of doublesnew headlights under one transparent cover and separate direction indicators now illuminate the vastness of roads with completely different optics, developed with an eye to the family resemblance to other models of the brand.

Changes to the interior are subordinated to the same goal, and only one term “luxurious” fits. Arnage R and RL come standard with walnut roots, while Arnage T comes with hand-brushed aluminum panels and chrome trim. The interiors of all models are upholstered in exclusive Connoli leather (27 shades and colors).

The display logically dominates the dashboard, the gear and parking brake levers are hidden in leather covers.

The list of basic equipment includes a height-adjustable steering column, a telephone with Bluetooth function, an electric logo on the radiator grille, which allows it to be hidden under the hood lid. As well as premium audio-video system.

The car was endowed with modernan out-of-the-box 6.75-liter V8 unit.
