That's a short options list, as it should be for $292,985. If that price shocks you keep in mind this is the budget Bentley. A more powerful Arnage T or more luxurious Arnage RL is available, for quite a bit of additional lucre apiece. That said when you're buying a car from the dregs of capital interest alone, or desperately needing a massive monthly business tax write-off, who cares about price. Buyers of the luxury marque have the distinct pleasure of rarely seeing a duplicate car on the same stretch of highway, mostly because there probably isn't one in the same city. And such exclusivity is part of the Bentley cachet. The new Arnage R might be the last of a dying breed of old-world Bentley's, but it's a fine automobile just the same.
