For a mere 300,000 euros (about $500,000 CAD; $375,000 USD) over and above the cost of the car, Mulliner will hand-build a B6-grade Arnage for the ultimate in civilian protection.
Whether facing armed fire or explosives beneath or above the car, the armored Arnage can take it. But that's not all. If the Bentley's doors are damaged so that they are inoperable, press a button and integrated explosives will remove them instantly, without harming occupants. What's more, as part of the package, an onboard chemical-grade air filter is included, purposely designed for counteracting chemical weapons attacks.

While the armored Arnage is capable of withstanding direct hits from enemy fire, it is also equipped with a powerful engine and impressive handling characteristics to avoid the bad guys in the first place. Under the hood is a 456 horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 with over 650 lb-ft of torque, making zero to 100 km/h arrive in less than six seconds. Its top speed is an equally impressive 270 km/h (168 mph).
The Arnage is already the best handling car in its category, but Mulliner has developed even stronger suspension components, brakes and shielded electronics for the armored car's special purpose.
It's a cruel world no doubt, precisely the reason why Bentley has created an armored Arnage in the first place. This side of a military-grade armored personnel carrier, it might just be the safest vehicle with wheels. The car can be specially ordered through local Bentley retailers.
