2009 Bentley Azure on 2040-cars
Canton, Massachusetts, United States
The Azure uses a traditional Bentley 6.75-litre
twin-turbo V8, as seen in the Arnage saloon. And it retains the unique Bentley character of effortless power.
Revving to 4,500rpm, the cabrio has a seamless auto gearbox to drive the rear wheels. A massive 875Nm of torque
ensures the car offers incredible acceleration, despite its 2,695kg weight. It records the 0-60mph sprint in 5.9
seconds. However, Bentley's engineers have also concentrated on body stiffness, which is crucial for a roofless car
of such vast proportions. While it's far from agile, handling is safe and stability good. Body roll is controlled
well, and the steering is acceptable, although the brake pedal suffers from a slightly soft pedal action. The ride,
however, is superbly cushioned. The classic floating Bentley ride is a constant, while the Sport button tightens
the active dampers to reduce this vertical movement. Based on the latest Arnage, the Azure four-seat convertible
uses the same 6.75-litre twin-turbo V8 as the saloon. Engineers have improved body stiffness over the old model,
which is crucial for a roofless car of such vast proportions. As well as traditional strengthening in the sills,
A-pillars and underbody, the Azure has two unique carbon fibre crossmembers linking the front and rear subframes.

Luc Donckerwolke named Director of Design for Bentley
Fri, 14 Sep 2012Bentley has announced Luc Donckerwolke will take over as the automaker's Director of Design. Donckerwolke started with Volkswagen in 1992 as a designer for Audi. Since then, he's worked with Škoda, Lamborghini and Seat in various design roles. His resume includes helping sketch out both the Lamborghini Murciélago and Gallardo among other notable models.
The designer steps into the vacancy left by Dirk van Braeckel, who has moved on to work with Volkswagen Group design under Walter de Silva.
As you may recall, van Braeckel is responsible for a number of Bentley's most successful models, including both the Continental GT and the Mulsanne. He joined the ultra luxury automaker in 1999. You can take a look at the official announcement below for more information.
Bentley SUV sheds some camo
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Bentley keeps itself busy and on our minds with ever-faster versions of the Continental family and even, most recently, of the Mulsanne. While a new coupe is said to be around the corner, the biggest project Crewe has going on at the moment is its new SUV. And this is our clearest look at it yet.
Spied with less camouflage than ever before while undergoing testing near the Nürburgring, Bentley's as-yet unnamed sport-ute is being based on the same new platform that will underpins the next Volkswagen Touareg, Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and - if finally approved - the production version of the Lamborghini Urus concept.
Bentley's is sure to be one of the higher-end models to be based on that platform, opening up a new segment soon to be populated as well by the upcoming Maserati Levante, Range Rover Sport SVR and other potential ultra-high-end SUVs and crossovers from the likes of Land Rover, Aston Martin Lagonda and Daimler's restrategized Maybach.
'Rich Kid of Instagram' victim of supercar arsonists
Wed, 18 Jun 2014A 19-year-old in the UK is smarting after the possibility that his prolific social media use may be at the heart of four family-owned supercars going up in flames in barely a week. Aleem Iqbal has thousands of followers on Twitter and Instagram paying attention to his frequent posts about the high-priced cars he's driving. He's even been featured on the Tumblr page Rich Kids of Instagram. It appears that some people might not be so smitten with him, though.
According to his Twitter profile, Iqbal owns Platinum Executive Travel, a luxury car rental company in the England, and UK newspaper The Telegraph claims the company is also owned by Iqbal's father. On June 6, cameras caught three hooded men setting fire to a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster leased by the company for a wedding. A few days later, two Audi R8 Spyders and a Bentley Continental Flying Spur from Platinum also got the torch, and two men were caught on camera setting the blaze. Nobody was hurt in either of the attacks, and the Aventador appeared to be repairable with the fire causing most damage to the passenger seat and dashboard. Police are still investigating both of the crimes.
According to The Telegraph, Iqbal believes that the arsons could have stemmed from jealousy towards him and his family's business. Regardless, setting fire to a bunch of cars that are likely insured isn't a great way to show displeasure.
