Bentley built the Arnage in 1999–2009. Autoknowtive’s catalog has 4 of them, from the 2000 Bentley Arnage Red Label to the 2007 Bentley Arnage. Sold new in North America, Europe and Asia.
Power went from 405 hp in the 2000 Arnage Red Label to 457 hp in the 2007 Arnage. It got lighter along the way: 2,520 kg for the 2000 car, 2,485 kg for the 2007. The most powerful here is the 2005 Bentley Arnage Drophead Coupe at 457 hp (341 kW), more than 85% of the cars in the catalog. Quickest from 0 to 62 mph: the 2005 Bentley Arnage Drophead Coupe, in 5.8 s.
Launched in late 1999 was the Arnage Red Label. Volkswagen, who had purchased the Bentley name and Crewe factory was loathe to continue purchasing BMW's engines, and it turned out that Bentley engineers and customers felt the same way.

In 2002, Bentley updated the Red Label as the series two Arnage R. This model was launched to contrast the Arnage T, which was developed to be more sporting.
