Venerable Bentley Arnage transformed into a mind-blowing 4×4

In Russia, a Bentley Arnage, a wise English limousine, was transformed into an impressive 4 × 4. And it’s not the mud that scares him!

Bentley is known to everyone in the luxury car world. The range of the brand, long subscribed to luxury limousines, has expanded to today offer an inevitable SUV. But the Bentayga, sharing many parts with other models of the Volkswagen group, lacks exclusivity for some. Above all, is not a pure and hard franchisor capable of going absolutely everywhere. One person looking at a time a unique, comfortable and exclusive vehicle as well as quality crossing capabilities, could not be satisfied with this simple SUV …

An Arnage far from the original

A Russian in this case therefore decided to make his own car. So he dug up a venerable Arnage from the early 2000s abandoned, and completely transformed. The result is this spectacular machine to say the least!

The Arnage of those years was built by Bentley before the takeover of the brand by Volkswagen. But as majestic and comfortable as it is, it suffers from a cruel flaw: English reliability also qualified as random. In order not to be bothered during his expeditions, the owner decided to make it more reliable. Thus the venerable 6.75-liter V8 had to give way to another V8, but it came from Lexus

. The 4.3-liter V8 chosen is known to have worked under the hood of the Lexus LS and GS for many kilometers without encountering major problems.

A redesigned platform

The platform has also been modified and comes from a Nissan Patrol, a 4 × 4 recognized for its off-bitumen capabilities. The Bentley also took over from the franchiser its shock absorbers, springs, control arms and brakes. The driveshaft comes from a Toyota Land Cruiser. This whole lego-worthy assembly seems to work well given that this raised Arnage is already at its sixth owner. If you are a fan of this kind of exotic manufacturing, know that it is currently on sale at the price of 8 million rubles, or 92 700 €. And to get an idea of the capabilities of the Arnage 4 × 4, watch the video below :
