Get ready, Bentley fans, because you’re about to be treated to a special-edition Arnage that will commemorate the end of the breed. If you couldn’t decide whether you wanted a T, R. or Brooklands, the Final Series is for you. The limited-edition Final series will feature the Arnage T’s drivetrain, the Arnage R’s luxury appointments, and the Brooklands’ styling cues. The last 150 Arnages built will be Final Series cars that will pay homage to the Arnage’s 10 year run, the 6.75L engine’s 50th anniversary and Bentley’s 90 years of operation.

The Arnage Final Series will be based on the Arnage T and share its twin-turbo 6.75L V-8 engine. The 500 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque will be enough to move the 5699 lb car to 60 mph in 5.2 sec and reach a top speed of 179 mph. Power reaches the pavement through a ZF-sourced six-speed automatic transmission with manual shifting capabilities. Keeping the power down will be 20-in. wheels borrowed from the Brooklands riding on Pirelli PZero tires and featuring a tire-pressure-monitoring system. Smoothing out the bumps is the Arnage’s recently redesigned double-wishbone suspension with electro-hydraulic shocks and an Electronic Stability Program. As an option, the Arnage Final Series will be fitted with enormous 16.5-in. carbon/silicon carbide brake rotors and eight-piston calipers. Despite being larger than many passenger car wheels, these brakes will actually save 17.6 lb, and, under normal driving conditions, the discs are expected to last the lifetime of the car and the pads twice as long as normal.
Bentley hasn’t yet named a price for the Final Series, but we expect it will cost more than the $250,000 base price for the Arnage T it’s based on. Whether it will reach the $340,000 territory of the Brooklands remains to be seen and will likely be announced when the Final Series makes its debut at the Paris motor show next week.
