A 2005 Bentley Arnage R with 50,000 miles is being offered for sale in Florida, presenting a luxury saloon with a twin-turbocharged 6.75-litre V8 and a clean vehicle history. The car was acquired by the selling dealer in 2026 and is finished in Sunset over tan leather, a combination that gives the large saloon a distinctive look inside and out.
Under the bonnet sits the twin-turbocharged 6.75-litre V8, which the factory rated at 400 horsepower and 619 lb-ft of torque. Power reaches the rear wheels through a GM-sourced 4L80-E four-speed automatic transmission. The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage, and the car carries a clean New Jersey title, documentation that a buyer considering a used vehicle of this age and specification would typically want to verify.
The exterior is finished in Sunset, identified by the paint code 9560014, and rides on 18-inch fluted six-spoke chromed alloy wheels, which are currently fitted with a mixed set of tyres. Parking sensors, dual exhaust outlets and quad round headlights complete the external equipment. The suspension uses a double-wishbone independent layout supplemented by a computer-controlled adaptive electro-hydraulic damping system. Traction control, stability control and ride height control came standard, and stopping power is provided by four-wheel discs with ABS.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in tan leather and includes heated and power-adjustable front and rear seats, a feature that extends to the rear passengers as well as the driver and front passenger. Multi-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, navigation, rear picnic tables and a CD stereo with a six-disc CD changer are also fitted. The two-tone leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a digital display flanked by a 170-mph speedometer and a tachometer. Clock and gauges for coolant temperature, voltage, oil pressure and fuel level are mounted centrally in the wooden dash fascia, and the digital odometer shows 50,000 miles.
The Arnage R is a higher-performance variant of Bentley's large saloon, and the listing material places this example in the context of a used-car market in which well-maintained grand tourers of the mid-2000s draw continued interest from buyers. The car has been in the hands of the selling dealer since its acquisition in 2026, and its offering in Florida, rather than in its New Jersey titling state, is a detail a prospective buyer would need to factor into logistics and registration. Details of the asking price and any reserve were not included in the supplied material, so no valuation can be drawn from the listing itself.
