Spied near the Arctic, this stretched Bentley Arnage is actually a test mule, hiding a complete new model under a well-known – though lengthened – body.

The car hiding underneath will be the British company’s most outrageous model to date. It will sport all-wheel drive, and will ride on the new Audi A8’s platform. The all-aluminum body, six-speed automatic gearbox and a turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 engine pumping no less than 1000 hp will be shared, in some way, with the upcoming Bugattis also under development. An air-suspension – a modified system developed for the new VW Touareg off-roader – in combination with Audi’s sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, will ensure there is no loss of traction.

The debut of the new Bentley will be in 2005, not too late to take on its strongest competitors – the new Maybach and upcoming Rolls-Royce. Expected to cost around $350,000, the super Bentley will be available in long- and short-wheelbase guise, though all will have four doors.

Safety equipment will be more than complete, and luxury will have no boundaries. Each vehicle will be built to the individual specs and wishes of each customer, while the clients work with an all-new customizing department based in Crewe, U.K.
