Bentley Arnage
2002
The best year of Arnage in exceptional near new condition.This is a very clean and totally original Bentley Arnage finished in Wildberry contrasted with a 2-tone interior
combining Magnolia (light tan) Connolly hides and Wildberry (deep purple) Wilton wool carpets.
This is an "all its life" Californian car so she completely clean and dry throughout. Please do not confuse this
example with the many low-priced, tired and aged looking Arnages currently available. This one is close to show
condition.
This is the "purist" Arnage with the traditional Rolls-Royce 6.75 litre turbo-charged V8 coupled to a 4 speed
automatic transmission. With some 400 brake horsepower, it delivered very well for the cars sporting namesake. The
powerful panache of this car was aptly captured by one of UK's leading motor car writers at the time; "The Arnage
is responsive and agile excelling markedly over all previous Bentleys. Such power is this 5,000 lb behemoth that
when it powers down streets in East Sussex, it blows leaves off trees in Kent!"
This is a beautiful and commanding Arnage that presents in almost perfect condition. A very shiny, deep lustred and
special order paint-finish which appears to be completely original with no notable dings, scratches or marks. The
Wildberry purple is a very metallic rich hue of the fruits' natural colours and is simply stupendous on the Arnage.
All chrome and bright-work is excellent, as are the rubbers and other finishes around the car. The very deep tinted
side and rear glass contrast well with the rich Wildberry paint finish.
The leather is excellent with the Magnolia Connolly hides contrasted by Wildberry on the dash top-roll and floor
rugs. What many do not realise is that the interior of the Arnage is entirely upholstered in Connolly hide,
including roof-lining, door trim and surrounds, dash-board and console – there is no visible vinyl used anywhere
in the interior. Some 12 hides are used in the upholstery process. The Wilton wool carpeting throughout is
excellent and is elegantly accented with brand new Bentley motif over-lay wool rugs.
The wood is deep-toned Italian Burl Walnut which is a rich red-brown colour that sets off the 2-tone interior
colour scheme just perfectly. There are some slight imperfections in the driver and passenger walnut door
cappings, showing normal signs of hair-line cracks in the clear lacquer but these are minimal.
All features and functions are fully operational. Mechanically, the car has been completely gone thru by Park-Ward
Motors with all services up to date. This most recent service (just completed) was $8,000, to include brakes,
hydraulics, engine tune, oil services and general repairs to various items. The car has all the hallmarks of a
regularly regularly maintained Californian example with a totally dry environment with the underside of the car is
as clean as a near new example.
~~ This is not your typical $35,000 Bentley Arnage that is tired and tacky looking, but a pristine well maintained
example that approaches show condition. The colour is a rare order and simply looks stunning. You would be hard
pressed to find another in such exemplary condition as this one. She is priced accordingly and one should consider;
the cost of taking an average condition example and bringing it to this level, would be considerably more than the
asking price. With the last of the Arnages selling for some $250,000+, this Arnage provides for a very affordable
(cheap!) modern generation Bentley motor car. ~~
The history and make-up of the Bentley Arnage:
The Bentley Arnage was named after one of the trickiest corners the Lemans racing circuit has to offer. Aptly so,
as the design theme behind Arnage was to develop the most outperforming Bentley ever. Not only in its straight-line
power but in cornering agility. This was to be platformed on the modern BMW 4.4 litre V8 powerplant.
However, during the takeover battle in 1998 between BMW

Bentley may develop 500-hp, all-electric sports car
Fri, Nov 20 2015At dinner during the recent press launch for the Bentley Bentayga, CEO Wolfgang Durheimer stood up to discuss potential directions for the Bentley brand. One of them could be an all-electric version of the EXP 10 Speed 6 concept first revealed at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, Top Gear reports. According to Durheimer, the Speed 6 concept has received incredible customer response, summed up as, "Stop talking about it and build it." Yet the CEO says Bentley would want to do something even more interesting with the coupe, so an electric powertrain with anywhere from 400 to 500 horsepower is being developed. That's not to say we'll ever see it for sale, but the best minds in the company are working on it. Top Gear says that such a car would probably share innovations developed for the rather lovely Porsche Mission E concept we saw at Frankfurt, resulting in a range of around 300 miles and fast charging capability. Traditional engines would also be developed for those that prefer their Bentleys to play four-stroke combustion notes. The other direction - and if we're wagering we think this one is much more likely - would use the Bentayga platform but be a sharper, edgier take on a crossover. At that same dinner, Durheimer said response to the Bentayga has urged Bentley to increase its sales projections. That makes an even stronger case for the smaller crossover already being considered in January this year and reaffirmed in June. Top Gear thinks that would be an "SUV-coupe" with four doors and more performance. Whichever one gets the nod, it's expected to hit the road in the next three years.

Bentley unveils the Grand Convertible, a droptop Mulsanne Speed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Five years ago, when Bentley was preparing its farewell shindig for the Arnage, reports were that the Arnage's coupe and convertible siblings, the Brooklands and Azure, would get replacements on the Mulsanne platform. Obviously, that hasn't happened, although we were teased with the Mulsanne Vision Concept in 2012. Then, just this summer, we were again teased with rumors of a Brooklands and Azure one-two punch. While it still hasn't happened yet, Bentley's unveiling of the Grand Convertible seems to have put things in gear.
Not 'merely' a roofless Mulsanne, the Grand Convertible appears to be a droptop Mulsanne Speed, powered by a 6.75-liter engine with 530 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque, and fitted with the directional wheels only available on the Mulsanne Speed. Finished outside in Sequin Blue with a "liquid metal" hood and windshield frame and a burl walnut veneer on the tonneau cover - a similar combo used to introduce the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé eight years ago - the cabin is covered in Beluga leather with blue cross-stitching.
Company CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer says Bentley is watching customer reaction to the car, yet the press release says it's been "Developed to signify Bentley's intentions for the future." That sounds like better than even odds we'll be seeing this on the roads. For now, though, you can see it in the high-res gallery above, at the LA Auto Show starting this week, and at Art Basel in Miami after that, and you'll find a bit more info on it in the press release below.
VW adding particulate filters to gas engines
Wed, Aug 3 2016Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.
