Stylish and extremely powerful. That’s what the Azure T was all about. The massive car was among the most elegant convertibles ever produced.
The Azure T was unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show, a convertible sporting the legendary 6.75-liter V8 engine developing 500 hp. It was the engine Bentley used produced for over half a century and kept improving it. The engine was mated to a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission and allowed the drive to switch between three transmission modes: Drive, Sport and Manual.
Buyers could opt for more performant brakes, a package that included huge ventilated carbon discs an eight piston calipers.
Despite its massive look, the Azure T was able to accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in only 5.2 seconds and had a top speed of 288 kph.
The Azure T had 20-inch 5-spoke wheels, a dual exhaust and no less than 42 exterior colors to choose from.
The car sported adaptive electro-hydraulic dampers to soften or firm depending on the road conditions.
The four-seater convertible was offered in a single trim level. The Standard level included xenon headlights, tri-zone climate control, a DVD navigation system and front and rear parking sensors. 20-inch alloys were offered optionally.
The safety equipment the Azure T was offered included front, rear and side airbags, antilock brakes, stability control and both front and rear parking sensors.
