Bentley have released the Azure T, the high performance version of their Azure convertible.

The Bentley Azure T is powered by the standard Bentley 6¾ liter V8 engine which has been tuned to give it an output of five hundred horsepower, fifty more horsepower than the standard Azure.

Performance is significantly raised with a top speed of 179 mph (288 km/h) and a 0-60 mph time of just 5.2 seconds (0-100 km/h in 5.5 sec).

The Azure’s already striking form is now enhanced by 20-inch 5-spoke wheels and tyres, ‘Le Mans’ front wing vents, dark tint matrix grille and a sculpted, retractable Flying ‘B’ mascot.

Member of the Board, Sales and Marketing, Stuart McCullough comments: “The new Azure T reflects our passion for creating the world’s most exhilarating and prestigious convertibles that, true to the Bentley T tradition, blend sophistication with a powerful presence.”

The diamond Bentley key fob is of course, optional
