A classic if there ever was one in this modern world, the Arnage stands as a symbol of what Bentley once was, before the VW-based Continental came along. Bentley claims an unrivalled heritage thanks to a skill-set handed down through three generations working on the same site, and an ability to tailor cars to precise customer wishes. Every Arnage is built to order, and over half are further modified by Bentley's coachbuilding arm, Bentley Mulliner. Bentley also claims that the Arnage is the culmination of over 80 years continual experience of building Grand Touring Limousines. It is odd though that at least in the last decade, the Arnage, in R, T and RL trims, has remained largely untouched, except for a minor facelift. Bentley also likes to brag about one regular customer, who said that determining the specification of an Arnage is like having your own private car company. An exclusive club for sure, but we have to wonder what they pay for. The impressive 6.8-litre turbo V8 engines are massive and yet they are easily surpassed in power and economy by, of all people, the Americans. Changes in 2007 included a switch from the old 4-speed automatic to a new 6-speed auto, as well as a bump-up in power due to new Mitsubishi turbochargers. The higher-tuned engine is reserved for the sportier T model.
