The R is for refinement, not just in the meticulously handcrafted interior with its sensuous leather hides and its veneers but in the way it delivers its performance on the road.
With the 6.75 litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that it shares with the Arnage RL, it has enormous reserves of power. Nevertheless, the 450bhp (336kW) is delivered in a smooth and progressive manner, enhancing the sense of comfort and control.
Panels of natural wood set off the chrome brightware of the controls, while fluted seats with either contrasting or matching piping add to an interior ambience that’s as discreet as it is luxurious.
