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.
