Excellent Carfax, Clean Title. "autocheck" Incorrectly List 5 Owners, Only 3. on 2040-cars

This "Excellent Condition" Bentley Arnage Green Label is painted in the desirable "non metallic" gloss black exterior color, complimented by a black leather interior with red pipping. Factory options include special ordered additional wood panels in all doors, a full leather headliner instead of felt, Bentley chrome mag wheels, sheepskin floor mats and a leather lined power sunroof. The stereo is upgraded to satellite with CD and an iPod plug in. Green Label Badging was replaced by Red Label logos to coordinate with the red pipping inside as preferred by the designer/artist owner. The Carfax report is spotless and list this Bentley Arnage as "above average" showing 3 previous owners and no accidents or damage. AutoCheck shows 5 owners because the softwear doesn't realize that when an owner moves and titles the car in another state, it's still the same owner. It's a three owner, never wrecker or damaged, rust free, beautiful car. Note: This superb Bentley is a preowned car and therefore has some small signs of wear from use. One item did get past me for the listing, the automatic trunk/boot release button needs a new actuator, ecu, or both , the trunk still opens fine with the key. The car has now traveled just over 60,400 well cared for miles. This is the real thing, a beautiful Bentley, a car people dream about owning, but please, no dreamers when bidding. Local pickup only, shipping is the buyers responsibility. Thank You. "Green Label" or "Red label" what's the difference? As a previous owner of several Bentley's I'm often asked what the difference is, here is the real story. It begins when BMW bought Bentley and they were determined to solve the reliability problems with the engines and electronics that historically haunted British cars. They created the perfect engine for the Arnage as a result. A brilliant fast and reliable 4.4 liter V8 with a 32 valve overhead cam, twin turbo, 5 speed transmission and advanced Bosche Engine Management Technology. This advanced engine produced dramatically better mpg with much less maintenance than any Bentley before, this is what's known as the "Green Label." Then Volkswagen bought Bentley in a hotly contested purchase that ended up splitting off Rolls Royce from Bentley. This resulted in BMW keeping Rolls Royce and Bentley going to VW. Volkswagen immediately went back to the old 6.7 engine, 16 valve, 4 speed transmission, single turbo, pushrod motor with less advanced engine management. They had to strengthen the frame as well to handle the extra weight because the car was not designed to carry that motor. These 6.7 engine equipped cars became "Red Label" Bentley's. Why would they do that, because they feared BMW would not supply the advanced 4.4 engines they had developed for the Arnage. The PR spin at the time said the reason for the 6.7's return was demand and that story seems to have worked very well. I have owned both and I loved them all, the 6.7 is awesome, it does have a little more torque and goes zero to sixty 0.03 of a second faster than a 4.4, but it simply cost more to own because it's just not as advanced, and that's the real story. Be careful, once you've had a Bentley nothing less will do, it is the greatest road car ever made. |

Bentley rolls out special Birkin edition Mulsanne in Europe
Wed, 15 Jan 2014While focus in the automotive industry this week is undeniably on the Detroit Auto Show and the North American market, Bentley has introduced a new special edition overseas based on the Mulsanne.
Named after Sir Henry "Tiger" Tim Birkin, one of the legendary Bentley Boys of the 1920s and '30s, the Mulsanne Birkin Edition upgrades on Crewe's flagship limousine with some unique touches. Available in Ghost White, Damson burgundy or a two-tone Fountain Blue and Dark Sapphire paintjob, the Birkin Mulsanne features unique 21-inch wheels, special tread plates, a unique Flying B logos stitched into the headrests and inlaid into the dashboard and rear picnic tables.
Each of the 22 examples to be made will also come with a custom luggage set and comes standard with the optional Mulliner Driving Specification and upgraded entertainment system with twin 8-inch LCDs in the seatbacks, DVD player, wifi hotspot, Naim audio system and integrated iPads. Bentley hasn't announced pricing for the special European model, but if there were ever an example of "if you have to ask, you can't afford it," surely this is it.
Bentley designer hints at even faster Continental GT3-R
Sun, 27 Jul 2014Does Bentley have room in its Continental GT lineup for an even more extreme version than the new GT3-R? Luc Donckerwolke seems to think so. Speaking with Autocar, the Bentley design chief suggested that an even more performance-focused Continental GT could be in the works, potentially ditching the heavy all-wheel drive system in an effort to further reduce weight, improve handling and drop even more ticks off the 0-60 time that's already down to a best-yet 3.6 seconds in the GT3-R.
To borrow a page from the same playbook used not only by sister-companies Audi and Porsche but also by Renault and Jaguar (to name just a few), we'll tentatively call it the Continental GT3-RS. Whatever the name, though, power would likely come from an even more potent version of the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 co-developed with sister-company Audi. Considering that engine already produces 500 horsepower in the Continental GT V8, 521 hp in the V8 S and 572 hp in the GT3-R, we could be looking at as much as 600 horses to make it the most powerful V8 model to date. With that much juice, it would even eclipse some of the W12 models that start at 567 hp in the core Continental GT and range up to the 616 hp in the Speed, which currently ranks not only as the most powerful Conti yet, but also the fastest road car Bentley has ever made.
Donckerwolke says that Bentley has already sold the entire production run for the Continental GT3-R and that customers are already clamoring for something more focused. Younger buyers are likely to be even further drawn to the brand by the ne-plus-ultra Conti, especially if the racing team advanced from its current fifth place in the Blancpain Endurance Series standings.
The Bentley Flying Spur V8 shows even a basic Bentley is a nice place to be
Wed, 05 Mar 2014While it is hard to call any Bentley entry-level, the Flying Spur V8 that's debuting at the Geneva Motor Show is technically the lowest rung among Bentley's four-doors. However, if our experience with the Continental GT V8 is anything to go by - the Spur and the Conti still share a platform, despite the former dropping "Continental" from its branding - the loss of a few cylinders won't harm the overall experience.
The latest model uses the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with cylinder deactivation that produces 500 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque. It is capable of accelerating to 60 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds to a top speed of 183 mph. Power is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission, and it rides on an air suspension.
Buyers wanting a little more luxury (and who doesn't?) can opt for the Mulliner Driving Specification that adds diamond-quilted leather, a leather headliner, power rear seats and 20-inch wheels. The Flying Spur V8 will join the Flying B's lineup this spring.
