The Final Series, of course, will have beauty to match its brawn. In addition to standard Arnage trim, the Final Series will sport the aforementioned 20-in. wheels from the Brooklands, a retractable Flying B hood ornament, air vents in the front fascia, body-colored headlight bezels, a fuel cap machined from billet aluminum, dark-tint matrix grilles, twin tailpipes, and special Bentley wing badges with "Final Series" written across the wings.
Inside, you'll be treated to leather everywhere from the headliner to the seats, steering wheel, dash, and center console, all of it available in 25 different colors. Up front, "Final Series" will be etched into the door sills, and, of course, there will be wood trim everywhere. In the back, where many Arnage owners spend most of their in-car time, you'll have a cocktail cabinet and document-storage unit trimmed in leather and a special compartment containing a Final Series flask and shot glasses will fold out from the front seatbacks. To hold your drinks, there are two pop-out tables available in three different unbleached wood veneers. Alternatively, you can drop them into the cupholders that attach to the center armrest. When you're not using them, you can pop the cupholders off and stash them inside the armrest out of sight.
To spruce up the door panels for the Final Series, Bentley inlaid chrome trim and recessed Bentley badges into the wood trim just below the windows. In the event of inclement weather, the Final Series is equipped with four wood-handled umbrellas strapped into the trunk. To keep you entertained, an audio system with built-in SD card slot and a large screen you can view from the back seat will play all your favorite operas. Check a few options boxes and you'll also get an iPod interface, a remote control for the stereo system so your chauffer can keep both hands on the wheel, and a Naim 1100-watt, 10-speaker stereo system with next-generation DSP, an automotive first. If you have any special requests, Bentley's Mulliner shop is happy to accommodate you. Bentley estimates that up to 80% of its customers go for Mulliner add-ons to personalize their car just a little more.
Bentley hasn't yet named a price for the Final Series, but we expect it will cost more than the $250,000 base price for the Arnage T it's based on. Whether it will reach the $340,000 territory of the Brooklands remains to be seen and will likely be announced when the Final Series makes its debut at the Paris motor show next week.
