may sound like a farewell, like many others, simply a car that came at the end of its life and celebrates his departure with a final special edition.
Non è il caso di questa Final Series . Perchè quest'ultima edizione speciale non solo segna la fine della attuale Bentley Arnage, ma segna anche la fine del glorioso 6,75 litri V8 che per lungo tempo ha equipaggiato le auto con la B alata , oltre alle loro ex-cugine con la Spirit of Ecstasy sul cofano.
Un addio che assume toni amari, perchè mostra come uno degli ultimi baluardi, se non proprio l'ultimo, delle auto old style è caduto in favore di un'architettura più moderna, tutta fuel efficient and eco-friendly. The heir to the Arnage, it will be based on the platform that will also accommodate future A8, characterized by widespread use of aluminum. The engines will be derived from the Audi too, although it is differentiated with an injection of power. Finally, concerned about the persistent rumors about possible motor options. For the purpose of saving face on emissions, it is called a hybrid version or diesel . I remind you that we are talking about, if I go over the term of 'flagship Bentley. I do not think we need to say more, I leave you comments.
But now we talk about this Final Series: the engine is the same as the Arnage T, the legendary 6.75-liter V8 with twin turbo, 500cv strong and 1000Nm of torque, paired with a ZF 6-speed automatic transmission, capable of pushing this bison in the classic 0-100km / h in just 5.5 seconds. Some external factors, such as the front bumper and wheels were taken from the Brooklands coupe superlative, to give it a more aggressive appearance. In the interior, as expected, the opulence is everywhere, thanks to the new sound system Bentley by Naim. Plates bearing the words Final Series, the nostalgic flavor, make their appearance both the body and interior. Noteworthy are also the classic retractable winged B on the bonnet and fuel cap, a small masterpiece which is also very old fashioned .
We can in fact consider this Final Series as the last, glorious representative of an aristocratic dynasty destined to sunset. Or, as the classic risorantino where the food is from God, which must close to make way for a new fast food .
Farewell then, Arnage, unfortunately with the certainty that such is not the car we'll see. Non metto in dubbio che la sua sostituta possa riverlarsi un'auto eccezionale, ma credo proprio che non potrà mai avere lo stesso fascino.
