A new Arnage is coming and Bentley wants to make sure you’re ready and waiting for it. Called (but I’m sure just tentatively) the Bentley Grand, a new teaser of the range-topping car has been released.
Obviously as it is a teaser not much is shown, and the picture is in very low light. I assume we’ll slowly see more and more of the car as it’s August Pebble Beach Councours de Elegance debut date draws near.
From what I can tell from the picture though is that it will be staying pretty close to the tried and true, time tested Bentley style. Who expected anything revolutionary? The new Arnage will be significantly different but not ground-breaking for the brand in the way that the new XJ is for Jaguar, for instance.
The car will be moving upmarket to better compete with it’s more expensive rivals at Rolls-Royce and Maybach. The Phantom has done very well for itself (see Rolls-Royce sales numbers) so VW wants to replicate that success with it’s Bentley brand. Judging from the breakout hit that the Continental GT and 4-door counterpart the Flying Spur have been, I think they’ll do just fine.
