Bentley Arnage - How does the last traditional Bentley platform stack up?

Bentley Arnage - How does the last traditional Bentley platform stack up? - Beards n Cars

11 місяців тому

A modern Bentley is an extremely tempting proposition on the used car market, and with varied approaches to luxury ranging from the more traditional Arnage to the new money Continental GT and Flying Spur there seems to be something for everyone in the prestige category. But with complex electrical systems, expensive parts and servicing when things go wrong, and vast amounts of mass to be piloted through corners, they come with risks...
With that in mind, let's head out on the road and review this 2001 Bentley Arnage Red Label and find out what this modernized but still decidedly traditional model within the Bentley range has to offer, and how it compares to the Continental given their remarkably similar pricing when used.

I drive a 2006 Arnage R and all I can say is that it is a splendid car. I travel around Europe in all types of weather and the car behaves perfectly at all times. The interior is magnificent and the engine powerful and agile, which allows it to move such a heavy vehicle smoothly and in control. In all these years I have never had a breakdown. And the design makes it a work of art.

I have the Arnage T (2004) and the Continental Speed (2008). Total different cars in character, but I love both.

Holy crap those roads are narrow. Very nice presentation, cheers!

They certainly are, especially in the SW of England, lol. I still drive big old US motors and love it here though xD

I really want one, being in the scouring adverts phase for a while now and throughly enjoying it.

@peterbouwer5699 9 місяців тому

I very nearly purchased this car just 2 weeks ago. Decided on the Continental GT. But looking at this review has got me thinking again! Oh my, the confusion!

@beardsncars 9 місяців тому

Really depends on what kind of experience you want. This model gives very little thought to performance, either in a straight line or through corners. It isn't slow, but performance isn't really on the agenda. The Continental is a meteor of a car and worlds apart when it comes to personality. Still large and extremely heavy, but relentlessly rapid

If it was down to me and it’s obviously not, I hope you took the Continental GT back if it’s one the early ones as it’s styling and presence has absolutely nothing on the Arnage but hey buddy it’s your money and your choice and I can only live my Bentley experience at this moment in time through lucky people like you who can afford the choice! My time will come 🙏🏾

Nice video, got to say I love these and am very tempted

@regplate2923 10 місяців тому

I had one 8 years ago. I made the huge mistake of taking it to Bentley main dealer for servicing and repairs. Last bill was £3995.00. Yes, I sold it and made a huge loss. Still love it though.

The Bentley Arnage is really the last real Rolls Royce if you understand the history and the motors that went in what cars. Not that a new phantom isn't amazing, but it doesn't have a rolls motor and the silver seraph didn't either.

@Roddy_Zeh 11 місяців тому

Early gang, yeah. 🍷🗿 But goddamn, I'm a sucker for these old Bentley's...although I like the late 80's/early 90's models better...the super heavy bricks from before the Arnage era... And ironically, also a big fan of the very first Arnage's, with the BMW V8. That one is kind of an underdog IMO, not very appreciated by most people. Thanks for the vid, lad! 👏🏻

@jjefferyworboys8138 10 місяців тому

Very smart, great value and a lovely second car.

@philboyce1582 10 місяців тому

Having owned both, the Cont GT you overtake everything the Arnage you relax and let everyone overtake you..... Arnage 6.75 check the head gasket has been done the car was not designed for that engine.

@udodonald 4 місяці тому

Problem with the had gasket only for the first series with single turbo.

Cone on now ? The last true Bentley was built in 1931. Later ones are Rolls-Royce with some badge engineering.

Whats non tradional about Mulsanne to make this old Arnage "the last traditional Bentley"? In my opinion Mulsanne is an amazing car, all in and out traditional and thousand times better Bentley than Arnage..
