2010 Grand Bentley in Car Magazine

The Bentley Arnage will breathe its last breath with the 150-unit Arnage Final Series, but this is not the end for the ultimate expression of luxury. Welcome to the future; the all-new Grand Bentley.

We don't know much about it — wait who are we kidding — We know nothing about it other than that the all-new Grand Bentley, as seen in the teaser preview above, will replace the long-in-the-tooth Arnage as Bentley's top model as well as marking the 90th year for Bentley as a company and the 50th anniversary of its storied V8 powerhouse.

We're infinitely curious to learn more about how Bentley plans to combat the newly grown Rolls-Royce lineup, but we expect it'll more luxurious, more powerful and faster than the best offerings from the Spirit of Ecstasy and the spirit-of-poor-marketing, Maybach. It's been rumored that the new Bentley could feature the V12 TDI out of the Audi Q7 TDI as well as a de-tuned version of the W16 from the Veyron, but what about that V8 that the big Bentleys are known for?

We'll continue to collect little luxurious breadcrumbs of information for you prior to the new Grand Bentley's worldwide debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance this August. In the meantime, get that tuxedo of yours steamed and pressed.
