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

Average Bugatti owner has 84 cars, 3 jets, 1 yacht
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Between Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley and Bugatti, the Volkswagen Group has no lack of prestige marques under its umbrella. And while some of these marques may produce models that compete against each other, each seems to be profitable enough in its own right to justify its existence. But what about Bentley and Bugatti? Surely these marques cater to the same customers, right?
Not according to their shared CEO. "The clientele between Bentley and Bugatti is remarkably different," said Wolfgang Dürheimer in an interview with Bloomberg. "The Bentley customer on average owns 8 cars. The average Bugatti customer has about 84 cars, 3 jets and 1 yacht."
That may be a slight exaggeration (we'd have expected three yachts and one jet), but it puts things into perspective: Bentleys are for the one percent. Bugattis are for the one percent of that one percent. Which only goes to show why it's taken Bugatti over eight years to sell 450 Veyrons - a number of units it would take Bentley about two weeks to move, albeit at about one tenth the price.
2014 Bentley Continental GT V8 S Convertible
Tue, 24 Jun 2014There are few things in this world I enjoy more than an enthusiastic drive down tree-lined backroads on a warm summer evening. If you're familiar with the geographic location of Detroit, you won't be shocked to learn that we don't have the sort of very-involving roads found all throughout California and other gorgeous parts of the country, but we still have some stretches of pavement that can be pretty darn fun when driven in the right car. The vast majority of our scenic roads, however, are of a more relaxed nature. And that's why, despite my tendency to prefer high-strung hot hatches above all, I will never say no to a big, fast convertible during the warm season.
As far as said big, fast convertibles go, perhaps none is more exquisite than the 2014 Bentley Continental GT V8 S Convertible, pictured here in the striking shade of St. James Red. Not long after returning from my trip across the pond to drive Bentley's V8-powered Flying Spur sedan, I was given the chance to sample another one of its eight-cylinder wares, this one carrying less heft, offering a smidge more power, and, oh yeah, a roof that neatly stows behind the rear seats.
As luck would have it, the weather for my Conti weekend was the absolute definition of perfection. And so I took to those sweeping, tree-lined roads way outside of Detroit to see how this Bentley's "S" badge improves upon the lovely GT V8 Convertible I drove last year. Hard work, but somebody's gotta do it.
This is what a street-legal 3,000-hp Bentley Continental GT drag racer sounds like
Tue, 27 May 2014When it comes to street-legal cars there's "power," there's "Power" and then there's "PAHRRRRRR!" This Bentley Continental GT dragster built by Webster Engineering in Bedford, England owns that third category, with its 3,082-horsepower heartbeat erupting from a twin-turbo, 10.2-liter Chevrolet V8 crate motor built by Steve Morris Engines. An entrant in the Street Eliminator Class of last weekend's European Drag Racing Championship, it is fully road legal.
As you might expect, it's not exactly a factory-fresh Continental GT, more like an authentic Bentley bodyshell placed over a tube-frame chassis and a carbon-fiber-heavy interior that took eight months and 250,000 pounds ($420,763 US) to finish. It will be driven by its owner, Yorkshire watch repairer Steve Neimantas. Builder Jon Webster told Autoblog that they're hoping for times in the "mid to low sevens on street tires and 6's on slicks."
You can watch a couple videos of the engine running and the car on the go below.
