A rolling fortress of V8-powered opulence. Hand-built, stretched, and dripping in old-money swagger… this thing doesn’t whisper wealth, it shouts it from a throne of quilted leather!
Overview
SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2006 Bentley Arnage RL showing 17,433 kilometers (10,832 miles) at the time of this cataloging. Finished in Dark Sapphire over an Oatmeal leather interior, this long-wheelbase luxury sedan is offered by the seller in Dubai with an owner’s manual.
The Arnage saloon, produced from model years 1999 through 2009 at Bentley’s Crew, England assembly plant, was renowned for its classic, yet bold exterior and its opulent creature comforts. Bentley employed the use of high-quality materials throughout – like rich wood veneers, deep-pile carpets, and top-grade leather. Each vehicle was handcrafted for the maximum attention to detail.
The distinguishing feature of this executive saloon is its stretched wheelbase, allowing for generous rear passenger comfort. More specifically, the Arnage “RL” was a total of 9.8 inches longer than the standard Arnage, and most of that length was distributed to the rear passenger compartment. Car Magazine said it best regarding the driving experience: “The woods, leather, and chrome work are immaculate – and the feeling of being cocooned in an essentially hand-built machine is a joy.”
This two-owner Arnage RL has been with its current owner for over nine years. It was treated to service by Al Habtoor Group within the last 500 kilometers and is accompanied by a full AutoHub inspection for discretionary buyers. For a premium motoring experience, it is the ultimate cruiser.
