Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Gobs of power, interior feels like a finely furnished room, exclusive style.
Cons
- Still carries the image of an "old" car, poor fuel economy, image of crass consumption.
What’s new
No significant changes.
Edmunds says
Compared to the Maybach, the Arnage is a bargain; but with a Mercedes-Benz S600 or BMW 760Li at half the sticker, it's a big price to pay for the badge on the hood.

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!

2005 Bentley Arnage T 4dr Sedan (6.8L 8cyl Turbo 4A)
The 2005 Bently Arnage is by far the most exciting,
not to mention luxurious sport sedan
ever made!! Every time I start the
car (via the push button start) an
uncontrollable grin is immovable from
my face. The car is stunning! Having
a good amount of experience with both
the Mercedes-Benz S55 and S600 it would be silly to
even compare the them to this car. The
fit … and finish is pure artwork. I
highly reccomend this automobile
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.
The Ultimate Luxury Car

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.
