Bentley Arnage Marks Its End With Exclusive Run Of 150 ‘Final Series’

Hand crafted at Bentley’s UK facility in Crewe since 1998, the Bentley Arnage Final Series is an exclusive final run of 150 cars - created to bid ‘farewell’ to the highly successful Arnage line in the most fitting manner and style.  Bentley Chairman and Chief Executive, Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen, explains:

“For 10 years, Arnage has enjoyed extraordinary success at the pinnacle of the luxury saloon market.  The Final Series is a celebration of the Arnage era as Bentley prepares for the next generation of its flagship model.”

The Bentley Arnage Final Series features unique luxury and performance specifications to mark the 'end of life' model. It combines the 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V8 mill of the 500 bhp Arnage T, with the refinement of the luxury Arnage R models and design elements borrowed from the Brooklands coupe.

For buyers looking for the ultimate expression of British luxury and effortless power in a four-door saloon, the Bentley Arnage Final Series offers a grand finale, for the grandest of big Bentleys.

As you drive up to your prestige golf club, everyone will know your Bentley Arnage is ‘special’, with ‘Final Series’ badges adorning the front doors, front wings, and tread plates. And, if you peer inside, the rear cocktail cabinet comes with 'Final Series' stainless steel flask and shot glasses.

To round off the package of exclusive extras (I'm starting to think oil-Sheiks here), it also comes complete with two picnic tables available in a range of premium unbleached veneers and four Bentley umbrellas.
