Huge reserves of understated power and the finest tradition of British coachbuilding come together in the Bentley Arnage range of three Grand Touring saloons, each with its own distinctive character and style. Whether it’s the high performance Arnage T, the beautifully refined Arnage R or the stately Arnage RL, no other car can be hand-built to customer requirements with such delicacy and care.

Engine Massive reserves of power and superb low-end torque are common to every Arnage. While the T designation signifies the sportiest end of the performance spectrum, the “refined” nature of the Arnage R is beautifully expressed through this innovative engine tune.

For the 2007 Model Year, the V8 engine has undergone a further upgrade, delivering increased power and torque and a more urgent response to the throttle: The Arnage R and RL are now equipped as standard with a 450bhp (336kW) version of Bentley’s renowned 6.75 litre V8 engine, generating a remarkable 645lb ft (875Nm) of torque at just 1,800rpm. This translates into a maximum speed of 168mph (270km/h) and a 0-60mph time of just 5.5 seconds and 5.7 seconds respectively for the Arnage R and RL.

The Arnage T is even more powerful. With 500bhp (373kW) and an astonishing 738lb ft (1,000Nm) of torque at 3,200rpm, it is one of the most powerful cars in the world. A maximum speed of 179mph (288km/h) and a 0-60mph time of just 5.2 seconds underline its sporting prowess.

Torque Torque is the force that changes a steady state of motion, unlike power, which is the force that maintains it. When you accelerate it is the torque that you feel changing the rate of motion, not just the horsepower. In a Bentley, torque is very much in the foreground of the driving experience. It is particularly appreciated at low revs, giving an impression of effortless progress.

Control

Micro-alloy ventilated discs all round provide immense braking power that’s as smooth as it is swift. They are complemented by six additional braking and traction systems for supreme control under all conditions. Apart from the expected ABS, hydraulic brake assist and the ASR traction control system, the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), Electronic Brake Pressure Distribution, and an MSR engine drag torque control are fitted as standard. For 2007 Model Year a new ESP system has been developed in to ensure that the extra power and torque delivered by the engine can be put down on the road more smoothly and effectively, naturally with no deterioration in safety for the driver and passengers.

Passenger safety Interior security sensors and a simple key-enabled deadlocking feature, with separate luggage compartment protection, are there for your peace of mind.
