Bentley Arnage

The Bentley Arnage was first presented at the Turin Motor Show in 1998. Initially it was very similar to the Rolls Royce, especially on the outside. This is a high-end car in the sedan body. The native Englishman exhibited himself as a transporter, which perfectly combined comfort and aristocrats. The whole model range is Bentley.

Bentley Arnage acquired excellent running characteristics with the help of an upgraded rear suspension together with electro-hydraulic active shock absorbers. They all bring even more inimitable qualities and unique innovations to the car among their class. Often, Bentley Arnage is often referred to as a “smooth-running cat liner”. Persistent tires, brake systems Pirelli P-Zero Rosso as claws are absorbed into the road.

Strong engine, considerable luggage compartment, interior of luxury class – all this will not leave indifferent even those who love the most refined interior. Six years later, the Bentley Arnage brand has been completely modernized. And already in 2007 the second generation of Bentley Arnage was presented. It was necessary to produce a car in the style of the XXI century, but taking into account and preserving the spirit and traditions of Bentley.

The hood is much more elegant than the previous model. In the restyled version, the radiator grille was reduced in size and received a mesh pattern.

The appearance of the Arnage in the T version is dominated by the darkened grille elements, in the air intakes, and in the RL and R versions, by the chrome parts. Now the stands are decorated with the aristocratic sign of the British company. Above the Bentley engine some changes were used.

The central console in the interior was replaced by a smaller number of buttons and an upgraded air conditioning control unit. An extended version of the 250 mm version was presented – the Arnage RL. With the help of this innovation, the useful space for passengers who sit behind has become much bigger. Adding a DVD-player to this car was designated as a DVD-player.
