Bentley Arnage R


In 2002, Bentley renamed the Red Label as simply the R, to contrast with the higher performing T. This model received a highly reworked version of the 6.75L V8 of the Red Label, which included a new engine management system and two small Garrett T3 turbochargers replacing the single large T4 for better emissions controls. In 2005 the R received the same odd exterior revisions as the T (not pictured above), reflecting the current design trend of the Continental GT. In step with the T again, for 2007 the R also received a significant power upgrade, while retaining the 6.75L OHV layout of old, plus a 6-speed ZF transmission to replace the old 4-speed unit. Although for outright bling, the Arnage has long been superseded by the ‘Bachs and Spurs of this world, for real olde worlde motoring and a truly unique driving experience, the Arnage is still the one to have. - by Traian Popescu
