About the Bentley Arnage T
Launched at the 2002 Detroit Auto Show, the Arnage T was the first 'Series Two' model and the performance flagship of the range. It marked a return to Bentley's roots by heavily re-engineering the venerable 6.75-litre V8 with twin Garrett turbochargers, producing a then-staggering 450 hp. Distinguished by its black mesh grille, 19-inch five-spoke wheels, and a lack of exterior chrome, it offered a more aggressive character than the stately Arnage R. Despite its 2.5-tonne kerb weight, the 'T' delivered a surprisingly agile driving experience thanks to a 10% stiffer body and the first Electronic Stability Program fitted to a Bentley.
