Doing it in Dubai cars

Bentley Arnage

Bentley ArnageThere may be economic crises occurring in certain parts of the world at the moment, but this is not affecting sales of luxury motor cars for Al Habtoor Motors in Dubai. "More people are buying than ever before," says Mohammed Ali Murshed, Sales Manager at Al Habtoor Motors' Rolls Royce and Bentley Division. As exclusive dealers of Bentley and Rolls Royce in the UAE, Al Habtoor Motors have won awards for their Rolls Royce and Bentley Division and are expecting to further enhance that status with the first all-new Bentley model in 20 years: the Bentley Arnage. Mr W.O. Bentley produced the first Bentley in Cricklewood, London in 1921.Bentley Arnage Bentley won its first Le Mans rally in 1924, and won that title five times between 1922 and 1930. The new Bentley Arnage, named after one of the toughest corners on the Le Mans circuit, is a beast of a car. Packing a 4.4 litre, 32-valve V-8 engine, the Arnage can reach speeds of up to 240 km/h and will shift you from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. Benefiting from the engineering expertise of BMW, who provided the quad-cam V8 engine that gives the Arnage its awesome accelerating power, the car is fantastic to drive.

"Customers were uncertain about buying Rolls Royce and Bentley during the handover to BMW and VW, but now customers are certain of the German manufacturers' commitment to the marque, more people are buying," said Murshed.

The new Bentley Arnage is yours for only Dhs 975,000. For more information contact Mohammed Ali Murshed at Al Habtoor Motors on +971-4-691110.
