Bentley Azure: The Grand Convertible
The Azure was Bentley's luxurious full-size convertible, a rare and opulent open-top grand tourer built in limited numbers.
First introduced in the mid-1990s and revived in the 2000s, the Azure was Bentley's flagship convertible, based on the contemporary full-size platform shared with the Continental R and later the Arnage. It paired the brand's signature 6.75-liter turbocharged V8 with a power-folding soft top and four genuine seats.
The Azure was about effortless, stately open-air cruising rather than outright sport. Its hand-finished cabin, vast dimensions, and serene ride made it a favorite among wealthy buyers seeking exclusivity.
Built in small numbers, the Azure remains one of the rarer modern Bentleys. It represented the pinnacle of traditional coachbuilt convertible luxury before Bentley's lineup shifted toward the more modern Continental-based GTC.
