Model history

The Bentley Azure was introduced in 1995 based on the Continental R and was the brand's first four-seater convertible in decades. Developed in collaboration with Pininfarina, who also manufactured the soft top and body shells in Italy, the Azure impressed with British luxury, Italian design, and impressive dimensions. With its 6.75-liter V8 turbo engine and around 390 hp, the convertible, which was over five meters long, accelerated with surprising ease. The elaborately reinforced body did not require a roll bar and offered four adults space with long-distance comfort. From 1999, the Azure was also available as a "Mulliner" with individually configurable equipment – each model was handcrafted in Crewe.
