2007 Bentley Arnage Wants To Treat You Like A Royalty For New Audi A6 Money

Before the Mulsanne entered production in 2010, Bentley’s flagship sedan was the Arnage. It was assembled between 1998 and 2009, receiving multiple updates throughout its life including powertrain improvements three years before production ceased, and has aged quite fine, if you ask us.

Getting to look at that timeless design on a daily basis requires spending in excess of €100,000 ($110,729) for a nice example or, if you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty and parts finding skills honed, then you could blow just a little over €20,000 ($22,146) for an earlier unit. As for the one pictured here, it’s advertised by RMSothebys for the Paris, France, auction hosted on February 5, and is estimated to sell for €60,000-€80,000 ($66,438-$88,584).

Review: 2020 Bentley Flying Spur Makes A Great Case For Big Luxury Saloons

Built in 2007 as part of the mid-cycle refresh, it spent a good chunk of its life in the United States and was imported to Switzerland nearly four years ago. During its stay in America, the odometer was likely reset, but even so, it’s believed to have under 20,000 miles (32,187 km) on the clock. The overall condition of the car backs up this statement, as everything looks in top notch condition, from the Royal Ebony black paint on the outside to the sumptuous Saddle brown interior.

The company’s bespoke division Mulliner has left its mark on a few features, such as the quilted seats and door cards, drilled pedals, walnut trim and picnic tables, embroidered headrests and a few other parts. This Arnage T comes with generous gear all around, including front and rear heated seats with electric adjustment, rear entertainment system and multi-zone climate control. It also boasts high levels of insulation that will cocoon occupants from the outside world.

Powering the British luxury sedan is a 6.75-liter twin-turbo V8 that pushes out 500 hp (507 PS) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque, hooked up to the ZF six-speed automatic transmission, which in its heyday, promised a swift 0-60mph (96 km/h) time of 5.2 seconds, and a top speed of 179 mph (288 km/h), both of which sound more than adequate even today.
