Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Gobs of power, living roomlike interior, exclusive style.
Cons
- Price, poor fuel economy, image of crass consumption.
What’s new
The Arnage revised several changes for 2003; outside, there are new front and rear bumpers, redesigned tailpipes, slightly revised side sills and a reduced amount of chrome. Inside, changes consist of new diamond-pattern upholstery (on the "T" versions), white-on-black gauges and an optional aluminum-trimmed dash. The extended-wheelbase Arnage RL is also new for 2003. Mechanical enhancements include a stiffer body, a revised suspension offering firmer springs and an upgraded stability control system.
Edmunds says
A surprisingly nimble and powerful touring sedan, the Arnage is the very definition of automotive exclusivity.

Simply the best of the best ... and proven better!
Ron George, 12/01/2019
2001 Bentley Arnage Red Label 4dr Sedan (6.8L 8cyl Turbo 4A)
As an owner of too many cars to count and an avid fan of the 2015+ Mercedes S class motor vehicles, the 2001 Bentley Arnage R is the most exhilarating ride of all. As soon as you open the doors, yes even on an 18 year old vehicle, the wreak of class overwhelms your senses. You are first stunned by the elegance while simultaneously intoxicated on the smell of the finest Nappa leather … and luxurious fleece carpeting then, while your feeling your image touched by a Madison Avenue PR firm, your ears are treated to a sound room designed for the most enthusiastic audiophile. If all of the senses overload isn't enough, prepare yourself for jet-like power transcending you like a bullet-train with nary a road sound or rumple to disturb your dream like magic carpet ride. Aladdin would gladly swap places with the lucky owner of this motor carriage!

Bentley May Be Best & Finest Ever!
CBMCESF, 10/26/2002
2001 Bentley Arnage Red Label 4dr Sedan (6.8L 8cyl Turbo 4A)
The car is a living room with jet
enginelike performance with a ride and
handling as if on rails. Simply the
most elegant automobile currently on
the planet; and it is all hand built
too. The "last" of the truly handmade,
one of a kind (each) English motorcars!
Amazing; and all this for the price of
a small, well located summer home.
Imagine!

Breathtaking!

2001 Bentley Arnage Red Label 4dr Sedan (6.8L 8cyl Turbo 4A)
I quit keeping track in 1989 but, at that point I had owned over 160 cars. Nothing even comes close in quality, curb appeal, performance, unabashed good looks, handling, design, ride quality, even the smell of this car (including Rolls-Royce). Everywhere you go people will compliment and envy you in this automobile. Most can't even tell what it is! I currently own 4 Porsches , Ferrari … Maranello, a Vintage XKE and 6 other American muscle cars but can't wait to drive this car at every opportunity. It simply takes your breath away. It's the 2nd one I've purchased. The dealer is 'proud' of his parts and will ding you unmercifully but, it's the price you pay to drive the Best Car On The Planet.

2001 Bentley Arnage Red Label 4dr Sedan (6.8L 8cyl Turbo 4A)
I drive this car for fun in nice
weather, and I absolutely love it.
Not many cars even come close to the
superiority of this Bentley.
