The 2007 Bentley Arnage stands as a testament to Bentley Motors’ commitment to excellence, showcasing significant enhancements in powertrain and chassis design. This iconic vehicle, now considered a heritage model, continues to captivate with its blend of timeless elegance and cutting-edge performance.
Unparalleled Powertrain Advancements
At the heart of the 2007 Bentley Arnage is the most potent version of Bentley’s legendary 6.75-litre V8 engine, meticulously crafted at the company’s Crewe headquarters. In the performance-focused Arnage T model, this twin-turbocharged engine delivers a remarkable 500bhp and 1000Nm of torque, representing an 11% increase in power and a 14% boost in torque over previous models. These impressive figures ensure that the Arnage T remains a true driver’s car, providing an exhilarating driving experience.
For the Arnage R and RL models, the engine’s output is elevated to 450bhp, with torque climbing from 835Nm to 875Nm. These enhancements are paired with the latest six-speed ZF automatic transmission, which employs advanced computer management to optimize performance and refinement across all speeds.
Refined Design and Features
The 2007 Arnage benefits from several design updates, both under the bonnet and throughout the vehicle. The exterior styling features subtle yet distinctive cues, including a dark finish on the Arnage T’s front radiator and bumper grilles, while the Arnage R and RL models boast a bright chrome finish. Bentley ‘B’ badges adorn the D-pillars, adding a touch of elegance.
The engine bay is a visual highlight, with a black crackle finish on the Arnage T’s inlet manifold and embossed Bentley logos on the turbocharger plenum chambers. New ‘6¾ LITRE TWIN TURBO’ engine plaques further emphasize the car’s engineering prowess.
Luxurious Interior Enhancements
Inside, the Arnage exudes luxury and sophistication. The 2007 model introduces a new hide-trimmed gear lever, a chrome gear lever bezel, and a Thin Film Technology driver information panel for clearer and more comprehensive information display. The Arnage RL model comes with additional features, including a rear centre armrest bottle cooler, veneered rear centre cushion box, rear Bluetooth master telephone system, and a reversing camera for specific markets.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Safety
Every 2007 Arnage is equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, integrated Bluetooth telephone system, and improved driver ergonomics. Optional extras include 19-inch wheels and the iconic retractable ‘Flying B’ bonnet mascot, originally designed by motoring artist F. Gordon Crosby.
The 2007 Bentley Arnage is a perfect blend of heritage and innovation. With its powerful 6.75-litre V8 engine, advanced transmission, and luxurious features, it offers an unparalleled driving experience. As Bentley Motors’ Chairman and Chief Executive, Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen, aptly puts it: “These important powertrain enhancements reaffirm the very essence of the Bentley Arnage, offering our customers an absolutely unique blend of seamless power and torque which produces storming performance when you demand it and blissfully relaxed cruising when you don’t.”
This remarkable vehicle, a true embodiment of Bentley’s legacy, continues to set the standard for performance, refinement, and luxury.
