In 1998, Bentley and Rolls-Royce were split up and sold off, with Volkswagon paying $712 million to obtain control of Bentley and the historic Crewe factory. They joined forces with their existing Audi subsidiary, clenching six of the top eight spots at Le Mans in 2001. Bentley introduced the Arnage line in 1998 as a sister model to the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph.
Older Arnage models (called the Green Label) came equipped with BMW engines, while this relaunched Red Label was fitted with the powerful 6.75-liter V8. This gave the car 400 horsepower and 619 foot pounds of torque. With an interior that is all about refined luxury and comfort, a heavy chassis, and a long wheelbase, the Arnage Red Label remains a luxury car with a supercar engine to offer an incredibly comfortable yet powerful drive—no compromises here.
