Simply the best of the best ... and proven better!

2001 Bentley Arnage Red Label 4dr Sedan (6.8L 8cyl Turbo 4A)
15 of 16 people found this review helpful

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!

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.

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.

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!

BENTLEY ARNAGE T IS NOT FOR SISSYS. THE TWIN TURBO EFFECT GIVES MASSIVE ACCELERATION AT ANY SPEED. THE BRAKES ON THIS 6000 PLUS LB CAR ARE ALMOST ADEQUATE. IF YOU OWN ONE YOU WILL GET TO KNOW YOUR DEALER VERY WELL.I BOUGHT MINE WITH 9500 MILES ON IT AS A FACTORY DEMO,AT 12500 ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED AND ONE WHEEL. NAVIGATION SYSTEM WORKS 25% OF THE TIME,FALSE WARNINGS ON HYDROLIC SYSTEM & BRAKE PADS ARE A CONTINUING ANNOYANCE.THE ARNAGE T IS EXCITING TO DRIVE BUT MY GUESS THE REAL EXCITEMENT STARTS WHEN THE WARRANTY STOPS. THE FIRST DEALER QUOTE ON REPLACING ONE TIRE WAS $700.

This is an excellent car. I have just bought the Red Label and i think that even though it has a very high price tag, it is much better and roomier in the back than my 2001 S-Class. It is a lovely car...

I have owned my Red Label for no more than a week and I must say that I have never driven a saloon anywhere near this quality. I though the S600 was nice but this, this is very very nice. I will be looking into purchasing another for my wife, since she always wants to drive mine now.

This Car is so great. The only setback to it is the horrible fuel economy. It is way worse than my Ford Explorer was.

Actually a nimble vehicle, despite the size. Look out when it’s wet, very slippery.
