Emphasising 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. In March 2002, a heavily revised version - the Arnage R - was introduced at the Geneva Salon, replacing the Arnage Red Label. Gone was the original's single Garrett T4 turbocharger, which had been replaced by a pair of smaller T3s providing superior throttle response and higher catalytic converter temperatures for reduced emissions. Also new was the Bosch Motronic engine management a state-of-the-art system providing an 'Electronic Stability Program' (ESP) - an advanced form of traction control.
Maximum power of the 6.75-litre pushrod V8 engine was now 405bhp and the top speed 155mph. Also new for 2002 was the Arnage T, launched at the Detroit Motor Show and claimed to be the most powerful road-going Bentley ever. For the Arnage T, the twin-turbocharged engine produced 450bhp and 645lb/ft of torque. With a claimed top speed of 170mph, the Arnage T was reckoned to be the world's fastest four-door saloon.
To this already outstanding motor car, the example we offer brings the Mulliner package of interior enhancements; there were numerous options to choose from, resulting in no two Mulliner cars being exactly alike. Desirable Mulliner features included veneered wood tables with machine-turned inserts for rear seat passengers; aluminium inserts to the fascia and waist rails; and exclusive hand-stitched tailored diamond quilting to seat cushions and door panels. Externally, the Mulliner was distinguished by special five-spoke 19" alloy wheels.
This exceptionally well cared-for Arnage T Mulliner comes with full Bentley and independent marque specialist service history from new to the present day. The last service was carried out by Silver Lady (Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists) on 5th July 2021 at 56,801 miles, and the car will have been serviced again by them immediately prior to sale (the current odometer reading is
circa
62,000 miles).
The car is in excellent cosmetic condition with only a small amount of rust beginning to appear around the sunroof and underneath it appears solid. We are advised this car runs and drives well. The interior has been kept in excellent condition too. It should be noted that the private plate 'R44 BKR' is being retained by the vendor and the car will be offered with an age related registration number.
