For There’s massive performance from the V8 engines, and an exclusive image, plus plenty of bespoke options to choose from.

Against Despite the top-drawer image, the Arnage is cruder and less practical than a Mercedes S-Class - and at twice the price, it makes a substantially bigger dent in your wallet.

Bentley Arnage Saloon

2 out of 5 stars

An imperious and prestigious limousine for individuals with plutocratic tendencies who are looking for a racier image than a Rolls-Royce can muster. The ‘basic’ R is all the Arnage you need.

Arnage Our pick

Bentley Arnage Saloon 6.75 V8 R 4dr

It's perhaps inappropriate to use words like 'basic' of this model, but when this cheapest version is so good, there's no need to spend any more. This is the pick of the Arnage range.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Arnage is nearing the end of its production life, and to celebrate Bentley has announced the Arnage Final Series. The company will be building just 150 of these hand-built models, and their exclusivity makes them well worth considering.

Exterior changes include 20-inch alloys, a retractable Flying B mascot, body-coloured headlamp bezels and twin exhaust pipes. Further tweaks include drilled alloy brake and accelerator pedals, recessed Bentley logos and a Final Series-branded stainless steel flask and shot glasses to go inside the hide-trimmed cocktail cabinet.

Needless to say, none of this comes cheap, and you can expect to pay out a small fortune in regular running costs, with the car sitting in the top group for insurance, incurring the maximum rate of company car tax and struggling to return fuel economy in the low ’teens. Still, as they say, if you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it in the first place.
