Bentley Arnage 2010

Bentley Arnage will be replaced with a new model for the 2010 model year. word is that the 2010 Arnage will have an aluminum spaceframe chassis produced by Audi, an aluminum body, and possibly a hybrid version of the current 6.75 liter V-8 using the transmission developed for the Audi Q7 hybrid or the hybrid transmission currently under development for the next Audi Quattro.

Despite the recent appearance of a Veyron-engined prototype version of the current Arnage, that the company intends to keep the 6.75 liter power plant used in the current model, but re-tune it to meet 2009 European Union emissions standards. That will be quite a feat for an engine. More challenging will be the next set of emissions standards. But, Bentley Arnage is currently working on meeting the 2013-15 EU emissions standards with the 6.75 liter engine.All our engineers want to keep the engine alived. Perhaps the W16 from the Veyron is merely a fall-back plan.
