THE RAREST AND MOST POWERFUL ARNAGE EVER

 Since 1931, Rolls-Royce built a range of sportier motor cars with a Bentley badge.

The silk-smooth and venerable in line sixes gave way to a brand new V8 in 1959, whose successors have powered all sorts of Bentleys in the following decades.

In the 1990s, Bentley received an injection of performance with the Turbo version of the Mulsanne saloon: from that point the range became more and more independent, and around the turn of the millennium the two brands were separated.

Bentley, now in the hands of the hugely successful Volkswagen Group, kept the traditional Crewe factory and the existing Arnage model, which was completely reworked by the VW technicians and turned in a more contemporary luxury saloon.

Built in various versions until 2010, it had a powerful turbocharged V8. The ultimate version was the Arnage T, of which we are proud to offer an exceptional example today, which, with its twin turbo V8, developed all of 475 bhp, more than twice the original power of the Rolls-Royce V8. Its speed was close to 190 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest -and most expensive- saloons in the world.

This car is as good as new. It was delivered in 2002 to an Italian customer, has only 50,000 km (31,250 miles) and has always been serviced by Florence’s most expert Bentley specialist.

The vehicle is in excellent mechanical condition but for safety reasons, we advise the purchaser to have it checked over and to replace the fluids, filters and perishable elements.
