The ‘Grand Bentley’ Arnage replacement teaser is officially here
Bentley is looking to give its rivals some good competition with the new next-gen, up-scale Arnage replacement, which has been partially revealed today in teaser form. The car is said to be priced higher than the current version and this will pose a serious threat to the Phantom. A spokesman said, "The price will reflect the exclusivity and positioning of this all-new model and that the name of the vehicle will be announced at its unveiling this summer." It is set to make its debut at Augusts’ Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It's code name is 'Project Kimberly' and it will have its own unique V8 powertrain with drive sent to the rear wheels via ZF’s new 8-speed automatic. Also, there are good chances that it will feature some form of forced induction, but whether it will be supercharged, twin-turbocharged or something similar is not clear. Also, there might be a a new diesel engine on the cards, however the eventual engine option is most likely to be a petrol unit with E85 capability. Aluminium will be used a lot in the building of the car. So watch the video and look at the pictures for a teaser of this baby.
