About the Bentley Arnage
The Arnage T was the performance flagship of the Arnage range, introduced in 2002 as the first model developed entirely under Volkswagen ownership. It featured a heavily re-engineered version of the venerable 6.75-litre V8, now equipped with twin turbochargers to produce immense low-end torque. The 2005 model year benefited from a significant facelift, including the iconic quad-round headlights and a revised interior. Despite its massive weight, the Arnage T offers a surprisingly composed ride thanks to its stiffened chassis and electronic stability programmes, representing the final era of the traditional Crewe-built V8 saloons.
