NEW YORK, April 8 -- Bentley Motors today announced details of wide-ranging changes to its outstanding range of Arnage luxury saloons. The continued investment in the Arnage range is aimed at reinforcing its credentials, both as the only true driver's car in this High Luxury Sector, and as a range that has increased comfort, deeper luxury, classic design language, and the greatest scope for personalization.

More than ever, the Bentley Arnage now stands as the symbol of British coach building and handcraftsmanship. With an unrivalled heritage, a skill- set handed down through three generations working on the same site, and an ability to tailor cars to precise customer wishes unequalled by any other marque, the Arnage retains a unique appeal.

The Arnage range consists of the Arnage R, which is the epitome of a refined, high performance British touring sedan. Then there is the 450hp Arnage T, Bentley's fastest ever four-door. Later in the year the long wheelbase Arnage RL will join the lineup.

First view reveals the new Bentley face first seen on the Continental GT. New Xenon lights improve dipped beam performance significantly, and complement the high performance halogen main beam lights.

On the inside a new center console, new instrumentation & satellite navigation improve both driver ergonomics & aesthetics. Revised seating enhances front driver & passenger comfort and under the skin a revised rear suspension design improves both ride & handling. Finally new option packages simplify the numerous features crafted by Bentley's Mulliner customization division for those Bentley enthusiasts who wish to personally-commission their cars.

Consistent with Bentley's model development policy, changes have been made only where they add genuine customer benefits in terms of either performance or refinement.

The 2005MY Arnage range will be available in the third quarter of 2004.
