1999 Bentley Arnage With 4.4 Liter Bmw Engine on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
I bought this vehicle for $23,000 in December 2013. I bought it for my wife for Christmas as she had said she thought it was a great looking car. Little did I know she didn't want one and upon seeing it said she wanted a Mini Cooper. It has the somewhat sought after 4.4 Liter BMW equipped engine which is supposed to be less expensive to maintain than the Bentley engine that came later. Although pretty fast it is also more economical than the later engine type.
The car was delivered to Illinois and we are just back from Florida so I finally have a chance to list it. I have not driven it with the exception of out of the garage and into the driveway to take pictures of it. It is horrible in the snow and didn't behave too well in the snowy driveway. Just FYI. I was told the entire car was repainted as that was the only way to guarantee a perfect match. The paint is awesome if you like white. No flaws that I can see. Inside is very good with the exception of the driver's seat which is losing a bit of color from wear on the edge but no tears. I was told that it is mechanically very sound with a few exceptions. Those few things have not been addressed because I am going to leave that for the next buyer as I expect to lose a few bucks here anyway. The driver's door closes fine but could use an adjustment to be perfect. When you put it in reverse the R light doesn't correspond and when I called my mechanic friend he said there is an adjustment needed. The trunk doesn't stay up for very long and a new whatchmacallit should be installed. The radio was on but I couldn't tune it to a local station so the antenna might need work. I think that's it but that was what I was told to look for by the previous owner. If you have any questions please email me but remember I'm not a car guy and I just bought the car and all I can really tell you is that it looks very good from where I stand. Much luck with the auction. Tom |

Lamborghini and Bentley may hold off on SUVs so VW can conserve cash
Thu, 11 Oct 2012After surveying the European economic scene, Volkswagen may have decided now is not the time to launch utility vehicles with Bentley and Lamborghini badges. Bentley officials say they will continue to push for support for the EXP 9 F and Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelman has said planning for the Urus will continue until VW tells it to stop.
That decision could come on November 23, when VW's board will vote on the company's budget for equipment, factories and vehicles. With VW's sales slowing and the Euro economy slumping further, some industry watchers say the company is more likely to build its cash reserves than to introduce super-expensive luxury SUVs or crossovers.
"Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis," says Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt in a new Automotive News Europe story. "Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs."
Bentley considering smaller coupe
Mon, 21 Jul 2014Only halfway through the year, Bentley reports that it's on track to post record sales. Thanks in no small part to the introduction of its new V8 engine in the Continental family, sales are up nearly a quarter over last year. And they only stand to increase even more with the introduction of new models currently in the pipeline. The upcoming SUV will surely form a large part of that, but it won't be the end of the story for the storied marque.
Car and Driver reports that, after the SUV, Bentley plans to introduce a new coupe line below the Continental to square off against the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Details are few and far between at this point, but considering how much Bentley manages to do with the relatively heft Continental GT, a lighter and more nimble sports car sounds promising.
In related news, rumors are gathering pace that Bentley is planning to introduce a new Mulsanne Speed at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, its Jurassic-era 6.75-liter V8 massaged from 505 horsepower - already the most that engine has produced in its half-century history - up to around 550.
2014 Bentley Flying Spur brings new design to four-door Continental
Tue, 19 Feb 2013After showing us a couple teasers recently, not to mention the leakage of official shots earlier today, Bentley has finally pulled the cover off the all-new 2014 Flying Spur, which will receive its global debut next month at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The big, bespoke sedan not only promises plenty of luxury in its full redesign, but Bentley is also saying that the new Flying Spur will be the "fastest, most powerful four-door" model it has ever produced.
To make sure it comes through on that bold statement, the 2014 Flying Spur is powered by the same twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 engine used in the Continental GT Speed. In the Flying Spur, this 12-cylinder engine produces 616 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, and it sends that power to the ground through a new eight-speed automatic transmission and a rear-biased (40/60) all-wheel-drive system. Launching the 5,451-pound sedan from 0-60 miles per hour will take just 4.3 seconds and 100 mph comes in less than 10 seconds; overall top speed is rated at 200 mph. Even with all that power and mass, Bentley is still expecting the next-generation Flying Spur to return better EPA fuel economy than the current model with projected (but not certified) estimates of 12 miles per gallon in the city and 20 mpg on the highway.
Befitting of its more powerful engine, the Flying Spur also gets a more athletic appearance with a more upright face, arched front and rear fenders and horizontal taillights that better distinguish it from the Continental GT. The new roofline also gives the car a sportier shape and the side windows add a more contemporary look, but this car is almost identical in size to the current model including the massive rear overhang, which helps accommodate 16.8 cubic feet of cargo.
