Bentley Arnage Driving Experiences

It’s rare for a turbo-powered supercar to enjoy a decade of production, but Bentley achieved just that with the iconic Arnage. Launched in 1998, it represented Bentley’s first brand-new design since 1980 and remained in production until 2009. This model was more than just a car; it was a statement of craftsmanship, engineering, and heritage that cemented its place as one of the most luxurious vehicles of its era.

While some manufacturers churn out new models annually, Bentley has always been about quality over quantity, and that philosophy is evident in the Arnage. From its strikingly elegant design to its exceptional attention to detail, this car exudes a level of sophistication that’s unmatched. When you book a driving experience in an Arnage, you’ll see firsthand why this is a machine built to stand the test of time.

Built with strength and style in mind, the Arnage’s long, stately frame houses a robust 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Delivering 349 bhp, this car provides a surprising burst of power despite its size and weight. It accelerates from 0-60 mph in a mere 6 seconds and can reach an exhilarating top speed of 165 mph—a true testament to Bentley’s mastery of blending luxury with performance.

Inside, the Arnage offers interiors that are the epitome of opulence, with plush leather seating, handcrafted wood finishes, and cutting-edge technology for its time. It’s a car designed not just to be driven but to be experienced, whether cruising on long stretches of road or showcasing its refined elegance in city settings.

And if you’re a fan of Bentley, the Arnage is just the beginning. We also offer incredible experiences in other Classic Bentleys, allowing you to immerse yourself in the brand’s rich legacy. Beyond Bentleys, you can step back in time with other Iconic Classic Cars, such as the charming and timeless Mini, ensuring there’s something for every classic car enthusiast to enjoy. Whether it’s the grandeur of a Bentley or the playful spirit of a Mini, our experiences promise memories that last a lifetime.

When Bentley celebrated their diamond anniversary in 2006, a special ‘Diamond Series’ model of the Arnage was produced. Only 60 of these were made for the US market, which came bearing a Union Jack badge on the front wings, and diamond wood inlays and diamond quilted leather seats on the interior.

The motoring press were unstinting in their praise for the Arnage, recognising its principles of quality and class straight away. What Car noted its ‘lightning quick acceleration and luxury interior’, whilst Top Gear simply stated that ‘When the cloud of dust settles, this had better be the car you step from, or you're no gentleman.’
