Bentley Waves Goodbye to Arnage with Final Series

Ever since its debut in 1998, the Bentley Arnage has enjoyed a decade of success, but as they say – all good things must come to an end. So rather than let the model fade away into the history books, Bentley have created the “Final Series” which will have an exclusive run of 150 units before bringing the Arnage production to a close.

The power obsessed rich folk who manage to get their hands on one of these models will be treated to the 500bhp twin-turbo 6.75-liter V8 engine from the Arnage T model whilst interior and exterior updates are inspired by both the Arnage R and Brooklands Coupe.

Upon completion of the limited edition model, the Arnage will make way for an all new generation which the marque currently has under development.
