Receiving the award
at the Gala dinner yesterday, Malcolm Wade, managing director of UK
Operations said, "We are absolutely thrilled that the Bentley
Arnage Red Label has received this award for engineering excellence.
Since launching this car just a year ago, we have had positive reaction
from media, customers and the industry alike.
"It
has proved popular in many key markets around the world with many
Bentley enthusiasts finding it hard to resist. Headlines from the media
like "The best new Bentley for sixty years" and "Pedigree
