Description

BMW E65, Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse und Bentley Arnage vor dem Hotel Adlon in Berlin-Mitte.

Der Arnage war das Topmodell von Bentley und zuletzt in drei Ausführungen erhältlich:

der Arnage R ist das Standardmodell
der Arnage RL hat einen längeren Radstand und dadurch mehr Innenraumlänge
der Arnage T ist die Sportausführung mit stärkerem Motor 

Allen drei gemein ist der Motor ein 6,75 l großer V8-Turbomotor, der je nach Modell 336 bis 373 kW leistet. Der Arnage wurde 1998 eingeführt, als Bentley noch gemeinsam mit Rolls-Royce zum Vickers-Konzern gehörte. Kurz darauf übernahm Volkswagen die Bentley- und Rolls-Royce-Werke, während die Namensrechte von Rolls-Royce an BMW verkauft wurden. Der Arnage ist nach dem gleichnamigen Ort am Circuit de la Sarthe benannt.

The Bentley Arnage is a large luxury car produced by Bentley Motors in Crewe, England from 1998 to 2009. The Arnage, and its Rolls-Royce-branded sibling, the Silver Seraph, were introduced in the Spring of 1998, and were the first entirely new designs for the two marques since 1980.

Another break from the past was to be found under the bonnet, for decades home to the same 6.75 litre V8 engine, a powerplant which could trace its roots back to the 1950s. The new Arnage was to be powered by a BMW V8 engine, with Cosworth-engineered twin-turbo installation, and the Seraph was to employ a BMW V12 engine.

The Arnage is over 5 metres (197 in) long, 1.9 metres (75 in) wide, and has a kerb weight of more than 2.5 metric tonnes. For a brief period it was the most powerful and fastest four-door sedan on the market.

In September 2008, Bentley announced that production of the model would cease during 2009.

Der BMW 7er ist eine Oberklasse-Limousine von BMW. Seit 1977 wurden fünf Generationen des Modells angeboten. Die Hauptkonkurrenten sind national wie international der Audi A8, Jaguar XJ, Lexus LS, die Mercedes S-Klasse und der VW Phaeton. Die Baureihe E65 ist die Bezeichnung für die vierte Generation der 7er-Reihe des Autoherstellers BMW, die von Herbst 2001 bis Sommer 2008 gebaut wurde. Sie löste die Baureihe E38 ab. Mit dem E65 wurde das Bedienkonzept iDrive erstmals eingeführt. Das Fahrzeug wird der Oberklasse zugeordnet. Im Herbst 2008 wurde das Nachfolgemodell F01 vorgestellt.

The BMW 7 Series is a line of full-size luxury vehicles produced by the German automaker BMW. Introduced in 1977, it is BMW's flagship car and is only available as a sedan or extended-length limousine. The 7 Series traditionally introduces technologies and exterior design themes before they trickle down to smaller sedans in BMW's lineup. E65 is the internal model designation for the 7 Series full-size luxury sedan produced by BMW from 2002 to 2008. The car was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2001, and was launched in Europe on November 17, 2001. It first appeared in the USA and other markets in the spring of 2002, succeeding the replaced BMW E38. Although previous generations of the 7 Series had long-wheelbase and protection variants, the E65 was the first iteration to use specific chassis codes for each version. E65 was the designation of the short-wheelbase version of the automobile, E66 of the long-wheelbase version, E67 of the bulletproof version and E68 of the hydrogen version.

The E65 generated much controversy, due to its radical styling and iDrive user difficulties, so customers rushed to purchase its predecessor, the E38, before new E38s ran out of stock. Nonetheless, the E65 broke records to become the best-selling 7-series iteration ever, especially after its E66 2006 facelift.
