Arden: AR7 (based on Land Rover Range Rover) news **Highlander revealed (page 1)**

2007 version here...WYHI...?



Press release...

Elegance, subtle sportiness and understatement have always been the distinguishing features of English cars. For over 30 years now, tuning specialists Arden from Krefeld, Germany, can't resist the appeal of these vehicles. This is the place where many customers have run to for years now with preferences on either standard features or for individualized customisation on their Jaguar or Range Rover. The most spectacular modification for the Range Rover Sport is immediately available: wing doors!

Sophisticated wing door construction

Gone are the days when only those italian sports cars bearing steer logos were designed with wing doors. Arden proves such features enhance SUVs as well establishing themselves as trail blazers. Arden achieves this one-of-a-kind look through use of a specialized door hinge unit that opens the original door first to the outside, then steadily glides it upwards and gently opens it completely. A gas spring supports the opening phase and reduces unnecessary strain to a minimum. The complete mechanism is individually customized made of high quality stainless steel.

The sophisticated construction which is necessary due to the adverse conditions in terms of available space, features comprehensive engineering know-how. The highest degree of precision assembly is mastered by the German specialists with flying colours. As Arden takes security to heart, all mechanisms are thoroughly tested in accordance with manufacturing vehicle UN-ECE regulations. Wing doors catapults every Range Rover Sport to becoming the ultimative show car! Price for modification to the original standard doors includes installation.

From appearance package to increased performance

Whether it's an appearance enhancement package or to increase performance, Arden offers extensive choices for individualisation of the Range Rover Sport.

The German specialists provide a variety of power enhancement parts and accessories for higher performance of diesel and gas engines. Arden enables the V8 diesel TDV8 an increased performance to 315 HP and 700 Nm torque. The top version of the gas engine receives an increase in size for its compressor motor to 4,5 litres. Peak performance: 480 HP. Torque: 680 Nm. Vmax: 270 km/h.


Through the aide of a complete Arden bodywork kit for the AR5 or by widening the measurements for an AR6, the Range Rover Sport observer is left with an even more memorable impression. Likewise, Ardens wheels display a visual treat. Whether "Sportline" in 23-inch or Monoblock Rims "Dakar" in 22-inch: the Range Rover Sport is adequately provided proper footing.

Arden high performance exhaust systems not only renders an acoustic tuning, but has an impact on power as well. Driving enhancements from Arden results in distinctive better handling and increased driving safety. In this same manner, a further plus in theme safety is promised with Ardens developed brake system which provide for sustainable deceleration

Luxurious interior

Whether luxurious, sporty or dignified, the occupants of a Range Rover Sport will be spoiled in having all senses appealed to. All interior work is carried out in Arden's own saddlery of highest precision and with much love to detail made to order following customer requests. Highest quality of material provides the occupants of each Arden Range complete satisfaction and following longer drives, a relaxed atmosphere exiting out of the vehicle.

Press release...

Elegance, discreet sportiness and understatement have always been the characteristics of British cars. The car enhancement specialist and registered automobile manufacturer from Krefeld was unable to resist the attraction of these vehicles over 30 years ago. It has for many years been a refuge for customers wanting it to individualise their Jaguar or Range Rover and emphasize its typical characteristics. Ardens latest development is the AR7. It is based on the Range Rover LM, which Arden completely converts and provides with more overtaking prestige. The base vehicle which is impressive due to its sheer size becomes captivating with its extraordinary sporty look. Meanwhile enhanced performance of the Range Rover compressor motor contributes to the sporty driving performance.

Superior performance

Arden obtains not less than 480 HP from the from the supercharged V8, its cubic capacity having been raised to 4.5 litres. Together with the torque which has been increased to an ample 680 Nm, this provides the not exactly light Range Rover with an appealing driving performance. The sheer power catapults the British SUV from nought to one hundred km/h in 6.5 seconds. Outstanding engine power goes without saying. Even if speeds beyond 200 km/h do not happen often due to the flow of traffic, the Arden AR7s 480 HP make over 240 km/h possible.

Arden bodykit: better look, better driving behavior

Arden adapted its aerodynamic components to the Range Rovers basic design in a masterly fashion. As usual with Arden, the kit looks as though it fits seamlessly. The completely re-designed, in total 6 cm wider front apron, which replaces the production part, features a hand-made stainless steel grill and air vents. These features emphasize not only the dynamic and powerful appearance, they also provide more effective air supply to the cooling units behind. Arden has made substantial improvements to the aerodynamics, effectively reducing lift to the front axle; this has a lasting benefit on handling performance at higher speeds. The LED daytime running lights deserve special attention. They comply with the future European standards and are harmoniously integrated right and left above the large air intakes. To complete the powerful appearance, Arden also enhances the Range Rover with wheel arch extensions, side skirts and a newly developed rear apron, which like the front apron features several grill inserts.

With regards to harmoniously designing the rear area, Arden adapted the design of the exhaust tail pipes of the stainless steel sport exhaust system, which was exclusively hand-made for the new AR7, perfectly to the design of the rear apron. The system which produces a marvellous resonant sound ends in rectangular tailpipes, with its openings characterized by a horizontal center bar, so that they do not appear too overpowering and meet Ardens standards for understatement.

Bigfoot

The Sportline wheels have a large share in the appearance of the Arden AR7. Arden offers the three-part forged wheel in 22 or 23. The increased size compared with the production Range Rover clearly improves the handling of the SUV and gives the driver more driving pleasure.

Whoever decides on enhanced power should also think of suitable braking performance. So that the Arden AR7 comes to a standstill as quickly as it accelerates, Arden incorporates at the front a 6-piston and at the rear a 4-piston braking system which distributes its power emphatically on the internally ventilated and perforated brake disks.

Elegant interior

The interior does not come off badly with Arden either. In the in-house saddlery all of the interior work is carried out to the highest precision and converted into the customers requirements with great attention to detail. Leather and alcantara are made to measure in any colour desired, a wide variety of high-grade woods are processed and also chrome, carbon and aluminium applications are made for customers.

There is more information about Ardens comprehensive enhancement programme for Jaguar and Range Rover in the internet under www.ARDEN.de or by telephone under 02151 / 3723-0 .

It's classy but I dont like the Lambo doors and I think the rims are a little too thin for the truck. On their own though they are a very nice rim.
