Page "Bentley Arnage" Paragraph 19

Though not particularly well advertised for reasons stated above, the RL's introduction saw the introduction of an entirely reworked version of the 6. 75 litre V8 engine.

Where the engine used in the Red Label was a quickly and less than completlely satisfactorily modified version of the Turbo RT's unit, the RL featured an entirely reworked version of the old 6. 75 litre V8.

More than half of the engine's parts were completely new, with Bosch Motronic ME7. 1. 1 engine management replacing the old Zytek system, and two small Garrett T3 turbochargers replacing the single large T4.

This new engine developed and, and was said to be capable of meeting all future emissions requirements.

Finally, the Arnage was powered by a modern twin-turbo unit with state-of-the-art electronic management system similar to the originally Cosworth-BMW unit developed for the Arnage in 1998.

Perhaps ironically, what was essentially a new engine developed by Volkswagen Group engineers for the RL in 2001, was now producing the same sort of power as the original BMW V8 4. 4 engine used in the first Arnage in 1998.
