New Bentley Models

After 10 years, Bentley's flagship Arnage is in its final year. For the first half of 2009, the Arnage comes in traditional trim levels of base R, extended-length RL and sporty T. Then, in the middle of 2009, just one trim level will be offered: the Arnage Final Series. The Arnage Final Series combines the performance of last year's Arnage T with the luxury and refinement of the Arnage R.  

Sharing many components with the Arnage sedan, the Azure is a huge soft-top convertible that seats four passengers.  

The Brooklands is Bentley's flagship coupe. As the most expensive Bentley, the Brooklands receives more prestige, technology and power. The twin-turbo V-8 makes a thunderous 530 horsepower, which is the highest output of any Bentley to date. 

Inspired by the company's Continental Flying Spur of 1957, the modern sedan is called a "grand tourer born of a coupe." It has essentially everything offered in the Continental GT coupe, including a 552-horsepower, twin-turbocharged W-12, along with enhanced luxury and space. Like the Continental GT coupe, the Continental Flying Spur has all-wheel drive. Bentley claims acceleration from zero to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. For 2009, a high-performance Continental Flying Spur Speed version joins the lineup. 

The Bentley Continental GT is a full-size, four-seat coupe. The coupe also comes in a high-performance model called Continental GT Speed, which cranks out a blistering 600 horsepower.  

Bentley's Continental GTC is the convertible version of the automaker's Continental GT coupe. Powered by the same W-12 engine as the GT, the 2+2 GTC features a power fabric roof that can lower in 25 seconds, plus a glass rear window. For 2009, there's a new performance model, called GTC Speed. Competitors include the Aston Martin DB9 convertible and Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder.
