The Bentley Azure made its road-going debut in 1995 and this yellow and black leather example is one of an estimated 78 Azure handcrafted into existence at Mulliner Park Ward in 2002. The peerless convertible carries the Bentley heritage of handcrafted luxury and open-top motoring performance that stretches back to fire-breathing road and race cars created by W.O. Bentley in the early 1920s. The Azure waits for its next owner to enjoy its unique blend of modern high performance, hand-crafted luxury and a long tradition of Bentley racing victory.
The twin-turbocharged Bentley 6.75L Mulliner V-8 engine was factory rated for 385 HP at 4,000 RPM and serves the full measure of its 553 lb-ft of torque at just 2,000 RPM. The 4-speed automatic transmission directs power to the road through the rear wheels. Independent front and rear suspension with speed-proportional power steering in concert with 4-wheel ABS-equipped ventilated disc brakes and 5-spoke chrome-finish alloy wheels with Pirelli P-Zero tires deliver confident road control. The Azure is capable of reaching 60 MPH in 5.6 seconds and has a top speed in excess of 170 MPH.
The body speaks of Bentley elegance and the power convertible top opens to reveal a handcrafted black leather interior finished to unmatched standards in Crewe, England. Power-operated seats with position memory join power locks, windows, remote mirrors, trunk release, air conditioning and CD stereo for pushbutton convenience, comfort and entertainment. Brushed and engine-turned aircraft aluminum accents the dash, console and door panels. In 2014, the Azure inspired an official Bentley men's fragrance infused with a powerful and complex mix of citrus and woody notes.
The Azure convertible is a rare ride that announces to the world that you have arrived in an intoxicating combination of style, power and comfort that few other cars can ever hope to equal.
