'''New Grand Bentley''' is the official codename of the next Ultra-Luxury flagship offering from British manufacturer [[Bentley]]. The new model, which has not actually been given an official nomenclature yet, replaces the aging [[Bentley Arnage|Arnage]] that has been spearheading the lineup since 1998. It will go head to head with the [[Rolls-Royce Phantom]] and the [[Maybach 62]].
 
There is wild speculation as well regarding the engine as the Arnage's 6.75 litre V8 is even more archaic, going on for over 50 years. Some sources claim that the venerable British workhorse will either be replaced or supplemented by ones from Audi, including the V12 TDI.
