Now that I'm done ranting, I had no idea this lovely antique still had a 4-speed automatic transmission. My goodness there is a car is about to hit the market with an 8-speed and the Bentley just getting rid of it's 4-speed! VW should have done this update years ago!

Well I didn't know the car had a 4-speed tranny all this time, I thought it had at least a 5-speed. Now it gets a 6-speed for 2007.

Re: 2007 Bentley Arnage gets power boost

In reading the entire article they've really made a lot of little changes for 2007 in addition to the powertrain. All of this should keep the old girl fresh for a few more years!

Believe it:

For this reason Bentley’s engineering team opted to introduce the latest six-speed ZF automatic transmission to the Arnage range. This state-of-the-art system offers two further ratios than the previous gearbox and has several key advantages over its predecessor:

That is from the WorldCarFans article.

This from thecarconnection.com:

That means the Arnage T, the most powerful model, now delivers an even 500 hp and a stump-pulling 738 pound-feet of torque. The twin-turbo, 6.75-liter V-8 now mates to a modern six-speed ZF automatic, rather than the old and antiquated four-speed on last year's Arnage.

Believe me I was shocked too!

See the second quote I added to the post. I didn't say it was crappy, just old and ancient.
