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

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. |

Weekly Recap: Takeaways from the Frankfurt Motor Show
Sat, Sep 19 2015We obsessively covered the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, and naturally, we selected our favorites from this fall's biggest automotive event. Now that the dust has settled, we're looking ahead to what it all means. Here are three takeaways from the floor in Frankfurt. The Germans are serious about electric vehicles: It's a bit cliche to say BMW, Mercedes, and Audi have downplayed electrics in favor of other technologies, like diesels. For a time that may have been true, but those three companies, along with Porsche and Volkswagen, are emerging as leaders in EV development. That was on display in Frankfurt, when all of them revealed either all-electric or plug-in hybrid models. Gas prices are relatively low in the United States, but clearly the Germans are thinking long-term and globally. Everyone is serious about SUVs: You gotta have one, even if you're Bentley or Jaguar. It's 2015 and it's what consumers want. As Jaguar design director Ian Callum put it, "Not to be in the sector would be a little naive for the sake of purity." It's not just the flashy exotic luxury makers. Nissan showed the Gripz concept, which is rakish, radical, and meant to blend traits of SUVs and sports cars into a vehicle that really crosses over. Look for more, especially in the luxury sector, as Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin ramp up their own SUV efforts. There's no ceiling to the luxury market: Speaking of high-end cars, companies are continuing to invest in extravagant wares beyond just SUVs. Even during the recession, ultra-luxury makers remained relevant, and now they're back at full stride. In Frankfurt, that was illustrated by yet another S-Class model, the cabriolet, which will come in S550 and S63 AMG variants in the United States. Ferrari also showed off the 488 Spider, and Lamborghini opened up the Huracan LP 610-4 Spyder. Meanwhile, Bugatti's Vision Grand Turismo concept reminded enthusiasts that it's plotting life after the Veyron. European auto shows always draw the glitziest reveals from luxury makers, and this year didn't disappoint. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Honda Civic redesigned with snazzier style, turbo power The 10th-generation of the Honda Civic debuted this week at events in Los Angeles and Detroit ahead of its launch in the United States this fall as a 2016 model. Honda fortified the Civic with LED lights, an available turbo engine, and a more tech-laden cabin.
Bentley Bentayga bodies to be built in Bratislava
Sun, Apr 12 2015Volkswagen's plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, has come a long way. After getting its start in 1971 by subcontracting the production of Skoda-branded vehicles, the plant was purchased by VW in 1991, where it was quickly put to further good use as it began producing Volkswagen Passat models for export. More recently, Bratislava has become a bastion for SUVs, assembling the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne, in addition to the VW Touareg. Color us unsurprised, then, to learn that the Bentley Bentayga, which will be built atop the same large SUV platform as its cousins from Audi, Porsche and VW, will also be used for at least part of the production of Bentley's first SUV. Surely, though, one of the hallmarks of the Bentley brand is that its cars are handmade in England. Won't the Bentley-buying populace feel slighted by production in Slovakia? Not to worry. As is the case with the Porsche Cayenne, all that will be produced in Slovakia is the Bentayga's body. According to a report from Automotive News, bodies for the Bentayga will be shipped from Bratislava to Crewe, England, where they will be finished into fully operational vehicles. In order to accommodate the additional work, VW will reportedly invest 500 million euros into the plant in Slovakia and hire hundreds of workers.
2015 Bentley Mulsanne Speed is totally torque-tastic
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Eight hundred and eleven pound-feet of torque. Really, that's all you need to know about the 2015 Bentley Mulsanne Speed. It's the same ultra-luxurious cruiser that we've enjoyed for a few years now, but the crew in Crewe has upgraded its engine to create absolutely astonishing performance.
The storied 6.75-liter twin-turbo V8 has been massaged for the Mulsanne Speed to produce an equally impressive 530 horsepower (25 more than the standard model), but it's that 811 lb-ft of twist available from an ultra-low 1,750 rpm that makes this thing so worthy of its faster nomenclature. Hitting 60 miles per hour will take just 4.8 seconds (keep in mind, this thing weighs almost three tons), and the sedan will top out at 190 mph.
It's awesome, this Mulsanne. And we can't wait to twist some pavement when it launches this winter. Scroll down for more info in Bentley's press blast.
