- Engine
To suit the different characteristics of the models within the Arnage range, the famous Crewe-built 6.75 litre V8 engine is delivered in two distinct tunes, both boasting twin-turbochargers. - Torque
More than anything else it is the torque, not the horsepower figures alone, that gives the Bentley engine its inimitable feel of effortless performance. - Control
Braking and traction control are key ingredients of Arnage performance. - Passenger Safety
Full sized driver and front passenger airbags with side impact air curtain with thorax airbag systems for front and rear occupants provide wraparound passive safety.

This translates into a maximum speed of 168mph (270km/h) and a 0-60mph time of just 5.5 seconds and 5.7 seconds respectively for the Arnage R and RL. The Arnage T is even more powerful. With 500bhp (373kW) and an astonishing 738lb ft (1,000Nm) of torque at 3,200rpm, it is one of the most powerful cars in the world. A maximum speed of 179mph (288km/h) and a 0-60mph time of just 5.2 seconds underline its sporting prowess.
