Sure, there's the smaller, sportier Continental Flying Spur saloon, but if you're going for a Bentley, you may as well go for the biggest, bulkiest, most bombastic Bentley of them all... the Bentley Arnage.
The big-daddy Arnage, as loved by Russian oil oligarchs, football team owners and those who aren't afraid to flaunt their net worth, comes with a torquey 6.7-litre V8 developing 450bhp (Arnage R, RL) or 500bhp (Arnage T). Global warming? Pah! This thing pumps out phenomenal quantities of carbon dioxide (nearly 500g/km, from the T) and returns 20mpg if you're lucky. But then if you can afford one of these, you've probably got your own oil well.
