Hello, Bentley? Yeah, it's Autoblog again. Thanks for the Flying Spur. Hey, saw the new Arnage...

Usually we're not too excited when we get a company's entry level car to review, but in Bentley's case we made an exception for the Continental Flying Spur. We still have hopes to one day get in an Arnage, the Britsh marque's true range topper with a price tag in the range of $220,000 to $250,000.

The Arnage sedan gets powertrain attention for model year 2007, which it very much needed. The 6.75-liter twin-turbo V8 in the Arnage T now makes a nice, round 500 bhp and enough torque to accelerate out of a black hole - 738 ft-lbs. Power climbs from 400 to 450 bhp in the Arnage R and long wheelbase RL, while torque goes up to 645 ft lbs. All Arnages also get a new ZF six-speed automatic that replaces the previous car's dated four-speed.

Work began on these powertrain upgrade over two years ago after Bentley significantly upgraded the Arnage's chassis, steering and brakes. Since then the car's been able to handle the kind of power it will now finally be producing. There are other minor upgrades for the Arnage in 2007 that are listed in the press release after the jump, though our favorite is the optional retracting 'Flying B' bonnet mascot.

Seriously, we're dialing the phone right now.
