THE BENTLEY ARNAGE

Emphasizing its racing heritage, Bentley Motors unveiled the new Arnage in April 1998 at Le Sarthe circuit, home of the Le Mans 24-Hour Race and scene of its greatest triumphs in the 1920s. Bentley, together with parent company Rolls-Royce Motors, was in collaboration with BMW at this time, and the Arnage was the first Bentley to benefit from the Munich firm's engine technology in the form of an all-new 4.4-liter 32-valve twin-turbocharged V8 power unit. In March 2002, a heavily revised version - the Arnage R - was introduced at the Geneva Salon. Gone was the original's single Garrett T4 turbocharger, which had been replaced by a pair of smaller T3s providing superior throttle response and higher catalytic converter temperatures for reduced emissions.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

One of just 40 hand-built examples produced at the Crewe Bentley works for the worldwide market in its sole year of production, this Moonbeam Silver Bentley Arnage R Concours Edition shows under 18,500 original miles from new. This special edition features a completely hand-stitched extended full-leather interior in Porpoise Grey, including seats, dashboard, vertical and lower console, door panels, roof liner and more. Additional premium stylistic details include Bentley embroidered Concours Edition head rests and bespoke Bentley high finish aluminum wheels. Adding distinction are such special touches as the $3,600 optional retractable Bentley Flying B Hood ornament and Concours-Edition Bentley picnic equipment including place settings, hand carved crystal, and four matching Bentley umbrellas. An extensive history file, factory build sheet, and stamped service book accompany this exquisite automobile.
