1999 Bentley Arnage With 4.4 Liter Bmw Engine on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
I bought this vehicle for $23,000 in December 2013. I bought it for my wife for Christmas as she had said she thought it was a great looking car. Little did I know she didn't want one and upon seeing it said she wanted a Mini Cooper. It has the somewhat sought after 4.4 Liter BMW equipped engine which is supposed to be less expensive to maintain than the Bentley engine that came later. Although pretty fast it is also more economical than the later engine type.
The car was delivered to Illinois and we are just back from Florida so I finally have a chance to list it. I have not driven it with the exception of out of the garage and into the driveway to take pictures of it. It is horrible in the snow and didn't behave too well in the snowy driveway. Just FYI. I was told the entire car was repainted as that was the only way to guarantee a perfect match. The paint is awesome if you like white. No flaws that I can see. Inside is very good with the exception of the driver's seat which is losing a bit of color from wear on the edge but no tears. I was told that it is mechanically very sound with a few exceptions. Those few things have not been addressed because I am going to leave that for the next buyer as I expect to lose a few bucks here anyway. The driver's door closes fine but could use an adjustment to be perfect. When you put it in reverse the R light doesn't correspond and when I called my mechanic friend he said there is an adjustment needed. The trunk doesn't stay up for very long and a new whatchmacallit should be installed. The radio was on but I couldn't tune it to a local station so the antenna might need work. I think that's it but that was what I was told to look for by the previous owner. If you have any questions please email me but remember I'm not a car guy and I just bought the car and all I can really tell you is that it looks very good from where I stand. Much luck with the auction. Tom |

Bentley shifting W12 engine production to UK
Thu, 20 Mar 2014Who would you think would be the largest producer of 12-cylinder engines in the world? Mercedes? BMW? Ferrari? Think again: as you might have guessed from the headline, it's Bentley. The thing is that, while all Bentley automobiles are manufactured in the UK, its engines aren't: while the 6.75-liter V8 in the Mulsanne is made at home, the innovative 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine in Continental models so equipped (like the newer 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8) is shipped in from Germany. But that won't be the case any longer.
Bentley has just announced that production of the W12 engine is moving to its home base in Crewe by the end of this year. The shift in production (which follows the migration of the Flying Spur from Dresden to Crewe in 2007) will create 100 jobs in the UK - a country which employs some 142,000 workers in the automotive sector - and produce as many as 9,000 engines per year. That in and of itself would account for the vast majority of the 10,000-plus cars Bentley made last year, but will also make Bentley an exporter of engines for the first time in its history.
Right there at the factory, Bentley will fit the engines into twelve-cylinder versions of the Continental GT, GTC and Flying Spur, and send some back to Germany for use in the Audi A8. Applications within the Volkswagen brand itself like the Phaeton and Touareg no longer use the W12 engine, but could conceivably use it again in the future - they'll just have to bring them in from England is all.
Bentley designer hints at even faster Continental GT3-R
Sun, 27 Jul 2014Does Bentley have room in its Continental GT lineup for an even more extreme version than the new GT3-R? Luc Donckerwolke seems to think so. Speaking with Autocar, the Bentley design chief suggested that an even more performance-focused Continental GT could be in the works, potentially ditching the heavy all-wheel drive system in an effort to further reduce weight, improve handling and drop even more ticks off the 0-60 time that's already down to a best-yet 3.6 seconds in the GT3-R.
To borrow a page from the same playbook used not only by sister-companies Audi and Porsche but also by Renault and Jaguar (to name just a few), we'll tentatively call it the Continental GT3-RS. Whatever the name, though, power would likely come from an even more potent version of the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 co-developed with sister-company Audi. Considering that engine already produces 500 horsepower in the Continental GT V8, 521 hp in the V8 S and 572 hp in the GT3-R, we could be looking at as much as 600 horses to make it the most powerful V8 model to date. With that much juice, it would even eclipse some of the W12 models that start at 567 hp in the core Continental GT and range up to the 616 hp in the Speed, which currently ranks not only as the most powerful Conti yet, but also the fastest road car Bentley has ever made.
Donckerwolke says that Bentley has already sold the entire production run for the Continental GT3-R and that customers are already clamoring for something more focused. Younger buyers are likely to be even further drawn to the brand by the ne-plus-ultra Conti, especially if the racing team advanced from its current fifth place in the Blancpain Endurance Series standings.
Bentley releases official Continental GT3 details [w/video]
Fri, 12 Jul 2013It's been almost a year since we first laid eyes on the Bentley Continental GT3, but this race-bred Continental GT is finally ready to show off its moves. After debuting last year at the Paris Motor Show, the Continental GT3 makes its racing debut today at the Goodwood Festival of Speed before competing in the FIA Blancpain Series next year.
While Bentley released some of the car's details last month, we now have all we need to know about this car such as its curb weight of less than 2,866 pounds, its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 packing 600 horsepower and four-way adjustable suspension dampers. The exterior of the car stays true to the design of the Continental GT but has been given a once over to improve aero, and the interior has been stripped down to the bare essentials for racing. This doesn't mean that all luxury was thrown out the window, though, as the Continental GT3's steering wheel, door pulls and seat are all covered in hand-stitched leather. Scroll down for the official press release as well as a video showing the car in action.
