2005 Bentley Arnage Mulliner SALOON PETROL Automatic

Description

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Iconic Sale at Silverstone Festival 2025 - Collectors' Cars on Saturday the 23rd of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN. , The Bentley Arnage T laid claim to the title of the world's fastest saloon car in 2002, needing to use all but the last two spots on its 170mph speedometer. Powered by the 6.75-litre Rolls-Royce V8 engine which had been treated to what Bentley described as 'the most thorough re-engineering of its life', the Arnage produced a substantial 450bhp and an amazing 645lbs/ft of torque, in no small part accredited to the twin-Garratt T3 turbochargers (in place of the previous single T4), an improved cylinder head gasket design and Bosch Motronic management system. Other developments included a 'drive-by-wire' throttle to go hand in hand with a new electronic stability program and revised suspension. It featured a roll stiffness 57% greater than the Red Label, giving the nearly 3-ton car immense poise and when coupled with a structure that was 10% stiffer than the Red Label, this luxury cruiser was transformed into a mile-crunching supercar rival, propelling the driver to 60mph in just 5.5 seconds in cushioned luxury.A superbly specified and beautifully presented example of Bentley’s flagship Arnage T Mulliner, supplied new by Bentley Leicester and showing just 18,846 miles from new. This car features an unusually high number of factory options and has been under single private ownership since 2013. Always chauffeur-driven and carefully stored in recent years, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest remaining examples of the Arnage T.Finished in gleaming Diamond Black with Magnolia and Beluga quilted Mulliner leather and features front and rear electrically adjustable and massaging seats, with electrically reclining rear seats – extremely rare.
