Bentley Arnage Final Series<\/h2>\n

The Bentley of 2009 was a very different company to the one that launched the first Arnage models in 1998. Consistently strong investment from parent group Volkswagen AG saw a transformation in the company fortunes and morale, with the Continental GT and its related models accounting for a ten-fold increase in production volumes.<\/p>\n

Constant Evolution<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Arnage had evolved consistently over the decade and the Final Series models were faster, better equipped, more advanced and better handling than the first models. Some things had remained the same; the Arnage was still built by hand in limited numbers and was powered by a 6.75-litre V8 that could trace its family history back to the Bentley S2 of 1959. In Final Series guise the Arnage shared its drivetrain with the flagship Arnage T, giving it a power output of 500bhp and an immense 1,000Nm plateau of torque from 3,200rpm.<\/p>\n

Distinguishing Features<\/strong><\/h3>\n

From outside, the Final Series Arnage was distinguished by the flying \u2018B\u2019 bonnet mascot, dark-tinted upper and lower grilles, front wing vents and 20\u201d, five-spoke alloy wheels. Other features included body-colour lamp bezels and a discreet Final Series badge on the boot lid.<\/p>\n

Inside, the veneer waistrails carried an inset chrome strip with recessed Bentley badges; the front two doors revealed Final Series treadplates and the brake and throttle pedals featured the Bentley \u2018B\u2019 in drilled alloy. The rear compartment was equipped with a central cocktail cabinet and veneered picnic tables. The underside of the boot lid held four Bentley umbrellas.<\/p>\n
