Veyron-powered Bentley Arnage is the works?



The 500 horsepower Bentley Arnage, already a leading candidate for the wretched excess four-wheeler award, is planning to stuff the 987 horsepower W16 powerplant from the Bugatti Veyron into this oh-so-ancient, yet oh-so-capable Arnage chassis.

Well, at least a prototype has been confirmed; no word yet as to whether there will be a production version, but I wouldn't count it out.

Full story here.

Doesn't the Veyron make 1000+ horsepower, not 987?

a novel concept but i highly doubt it will make production Fuel economy would be a main reason. the arnage gets pitiful fuel economy as it is imagine what the mileage would be with a veyron engine in it also the price of these things would be even more ludricous than it is normally

1001 to be precise, but it can be detuned. Probably from the extra mufflers.

orangutan under the new SAE format 1001 became 987.
