VIDEO: Bentley Burnout, Arnage Carnage
One might associate a Bentley with, say...caviar and filet mignon. But donuts? Heavens, no! Well, this is what happens when the nouveau riche get their hands on the motor carriages that rightfully belong to the aristocracy.
Seriously though, as posh as it is, and as much heritage as its Winged-B badge might confer, the Bentley Arnage is, after all, just a big old sedan with a monster V8 pumping out torque by the ton through the rear wheels. So here's a bunch of guys who saw through the clout, put 1 and 2 together, and decided to take their big, six-figure limo to the local parking lot for some good old fashioned donuts. There's something refreshingly brutal about that.
Video after the jump.

"There's something refreshingly brutal about that."
And also something decidedly retarded.
There's nothing cool about doing donuts anyway, especially in a car that's hand crafted to be a comfort cruiser. This is just insulting the fine craftmanship.

Something crafted for only cruising also doesn't come with 500+HP and 700+ft.lbs of torque!! The Bentley is about excess, and there's nothing more excessive than burnouts....

It has 500 HP and 700 ft-lbs because the thing weighs almost SIX THOUSAND POUNDS.

This is very old, 2004.
"During the weekend, Dr. Michael and Audrey told us horror stories about how unreliable their Bentley is. Actually, this was their second Bentley. The first one was a lemon so Bentley bought it back. The second one still has problems and one time left Audrey stranded in the middle of a intersection. They have complained about their Bentley so much that the local Bentley dealership wrote them a letter banning them from going there. We developed a plan to get Bentley back. We took the Bentley to the Bentley dealership and we planned on doing a stand-still burnout in front of it. But the parking lot was empty and so we had Dado whip a few donuts instead. Holy crap, Dado laid the thickest, darkest strips of rubber that I have ever seen! It was one of the coolest things that I have ever taped. So damn funny. To see that much weight in motion was so bad ass. Adrian sitting on the window sill while the car was doing donuts was classic."

We did the same thing in my buddy's Arnage. Needless to say he needed new rear tires after that.

Since the customer was not happy with his key, and also with the car from the comments of his friends it is pretty obvious he had no remorse for the car and wanted to beat it.
Had nothing to do with wanting to donut a fine automobile for enjoyment but just display distain for the car and find some pleasure in its ownership. That type of car is bought the car to "show off" since all the others had Audi's Merc-Benz's and Lambo's, so he had to buy something different. With that he had to prove his was as "capable" as the other cars.

I tug on my grey beard, waggle a finger at the naysayers, and start ranting in my squeaky old fart voice... "Back when old W.O. ran the show these cars were the weapon of choice for hoonage by boy racers! Mind you they were boy racers with more money than sense but by gawd some thing never change!"

Eh, I think once in a while you just need to let loose and do these kind of shenanigans. Besides with silly amounts of torque, it's just begging for it, although it leaves quite a mess of rubber on the parking lot.
I think at the beginning there should have been a guy with a VW key. And was that really a Mercedes key?
