Has the Bentley Arnage Been Discontinued?
2 Answers
The Bentley Arnage has been discontinued, with the 2009 model being commonly seen in the used car market. The Bentley Arnage is positioned as a large luxury sedan, embodying the classic Bentley style with several distinct characteristics: solemnity, elegance, refinement, and comfort. More details are as follows: 1. Dimensions: The 2009 Bentley Arnage measures 6118mm in length, 2125mm in width, and 1515mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3670mm. 2. Powertrain: The 2009 Bentley Arnage is equipped with a 6.8T engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 6.8T engine delivers a maximum output power of 336 kW, a peak torque of 875 N·m, a top speed of 260 km/h, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.35 seconds.
I understand that the Bentley Arnage has indeed been discontinued. The first-generation model was launched in 1995 and remained in production until 2003, followed by the second generation, which was reintroduced in 2006 but only lasted until around 2009. I drove one in my younger days and found its elegant design and V8 engine particularly classic. However, Bentley has now shifted toward more modern models, such as the Continental GT and Flying Spur series. Changes in environmental regulations have also impacted the production of such high-displacement vehicles. Well-maintained Arnage models can still be found in the used car market, but they come at a hefty price. If you appreciate the luxury sedan style, the newer Flying Spur is more fuel-efficient and technologically advanced, making it worth considering. In short, the Arnage, as a classic of the past, has truly become history.
