Today, Bentley is known for combining classic-inspired design and cutting-edge technology to create the world’s premier ultra-luxury vehicles. However, in the days before Bentley was a part of the Volkswagen Group, it boasted a very different approach to building cars, one that many collectors appreciate for its longstanding tradition and classic craftsmanship. Throughout the 2000s, and even the 2010s, Bentley models continued to feature aspects of the pre-Volkswagen Group era, and those models are cherished by collectors as the end of a significant chapter in automotive history.
One of them is the Bentley Arnage, a powerful and sumptuous luxury sedan, which was hand-built in limited quantities using Bentley’s traditional techniques. Introduced in 1998, only 2,273 Bentley Arnage examples were made before the discontinuation of the model at the end of the 2000s, and to send it off, Bentley created the Arnage Final Series. Based on the more powerful Arnage T, which boasted 500 horsepower from its 6.75-liter V8 engine, the Bentley Arnage Final Series featured improved handling and performance, with special Final Series touches throughout.
Reportedly, only 150 examples of the Bentley Arnage Final Series were made, making it one of the most collector-worthy examples of the iconic 2000s Bentley. One of them is now available for sale at Bentley Gold Coast in Chicago, Illinois, and it’s a beautiful example of the rare and desirable ultra-luxe 2000s icon. Its exterior is elegantly finished in Glacier White, with an interior upholstered in Costwold leather. With over $11,030 in equipped options, the car’s original MSRP was $289,115 in 2009. If you’re looking for a beautiful and rare example of the end of Bentley’s pre-Volkswagen Group era approach to luxury, this 2009 Bentley Arnage Final Series for sale is a great luxury sedan to add to any luxury or exotic car collection.
