WCF Test Drive: Bentley 2007 Arnage Turbo

Heavyweight Performance

Halfway through a hairpin bend, deep into the Welsh countryside with the tyres squealing hard and the local sheep running for cover, the image of chauffeurs and Pimms and deal-closing phone calls on the back seat were shattered forever. It might look like a high-speed drawing room for the ludicrously privileged, but in its heart the 2007 Bentley Arnage T is a genuine sports car...

Many pics and full artile here

The engine bay is just massive.

What a car... Sheer opulence.

this car is just to nice..
if VAG ruins this for the next arnage..ile hate them forever

Needless to say, you all know how much I love this golden oldie:








Look into my eyes! Are these the eyes of wisdom that comes with age or what?


Freaking classic!


My what big shoes you have my dear!


Here is the Bentley's "the hell with Maybach and Rolls" pose!


The car is blessed from up above!


Now excuse me as I must leave, I have no more time to deal with mere commoners!

OK, I must come clean on this; I have never really been a huge fan of the Arnage. I actually prefer the more formal and less fussy looks of its predecessor, the Bentley Turbo R.

I liked that one too, but it was always so rare in these parts.

I should clarify that the vehicle I posted above is actually a rare Turbo RT rather than a standard Turbo R.

My father had a Turbo R in the early 1990s, there is absolutely no doubt about it, the Mercedes S class was superior in so many ways ...but there is is something special about that old Bentley ...I'll always have a special fondness for that model, even though it has many flaws.
