Bentley showed off its last ever Arnage - fittingly called the Final Series - at the Paris Motor Show. The car celebrates 10 years of the Arnage, 50 years of the legendary V-8 powertrain, and 90 years of the marque itself. It is based on the Arnage T and gets the most powerful version of the 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V8, packing 500bhp and 738 lb ft of torque. It also gets the T’s 6-speed auto and running gear.
Externally there are subtle hints that this is a special run-out model, due for cancellation next year, including wheels and tyres from the Brooklands coupe and the ‘Le Mans’ lower front bumper. Other features include the body-coloured front and rear lamp bezels, the retractable bonnet ornament and the jewel petrol cap as standard equipment. Inside there are handmade wood accents, leather surfaces and ‘Final Series’ plates on the door sills.
