Arnage is a premier offering from the renowned Bentley stable with its unique aerodynamics, power, performance and comfort.

The 2008 version has a 6.75-liter, V8 engine rated up to 500hp of power and connected to a six-speed ZF automatic transmission.

Every Arnage comes equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, rSAP Bluetooth integrated telephone system, reversing cameras, and improved driver ergonomics.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP)with its refined logic system offers dynamic road handling allows less driver participation without compromising safety and stability.

Interior boasts new hide-trimmed gear lever, chrome gear lever bezel and a rear center armrest bottle cooler. Panel displays are visually enhanced with the new New Thin Film Technology.
Front radiator and bumper grilles have been accorded a darker finish.

The exhaust valves are placed high in the cylinder head for rapid heat dissipation to help engine cooling. This also provides a short path from valves to catalysts in the catalytic converter and this facilitates better exhaust emissions.

Bentley Arnage offers three transmission modes - Drive, Sport and Semi-Automatic. Semi-Automatic mode takes advantage of a sequential manual gear-selector gate. This means the driver can engage a new gear ratio just by moving the lever. The faster throttle-to-speed correspondence is achieved through a process of locking up of all gears.
