The Bentley Arnage is a luxury car produced
by Bentley Motors in Crewe, England. The Arnage
and its Rolls-Royce-branded sibling, the Silver
Seraph, were introduced in the Spring of 1998 and
were the first entirely new designs for the two
marques since 1980.
Another break from the past was
to be found under the bonnet, for decades home
to the same 6.75 L V8, a powerplant which could
trace its roots back to the 1950s. The new Arnage
was to be powered by a BMW V8, with Cosworth-engineered
twin turbo installation, and the Seraph was to
employ a BMW V12.
The Arnage is over 5m long, almost
2m wide, and has a kerb weight of more than 2.5
metric tonnes. For a brief period it was the most
powerful and fastest four-door sedan on the market.
