Crewe - Bentley Motors is delighted to have received an award for engineering excellence at the Corus IvehE Motor Show Awards 2000. The Bentley Arnage Red Label won the award in the '2 to 5 door car over £50,000 category', beating other leading luxury cars including the Mercedes S Class and the BMW 7 series. 

Professor Jon King, president of the Institute of Vehicle Engineers explained the judges' decision, "In keeping with all that the Bentley marque implies, the Arnage is a potent mix of power and poise. The interior integrates exciting traditional instrumentation with high quality veneers and leather – the ideal car for those who value exclusivity, power and comfort."

The Bentley Arnage Red Label is powered by the legendary six and three quarter litre engine and provides outstanding power (400 bhp/298kw) and more torque (619lb.ft/835nm) than any other saloon in the world. It will achieve 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds with a governed top speed of 155 mph.

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 in Precision" have made all of our efforts worthwhile."
