Azure
On 17 January 2005, the Arnage Convertible concept car, also known as the Arnage Drophead Coupe, was shown at the Los Angeles Auto Show. In April 2005, Bentley confirmed that the model would be produced at Crewe for Spring 2006 sales. Bentley also confirmed the new model will adopt the Azure tag, replacing the previous Azure as the company's large four-seat convertible.
The new Azure uses a 6.75 litre twin-turbo V8 engine which produces 455 metric horsepower (335 kW; 449 bhp) and 874 newton metres (645 lbf·ft), and is capable of a top speed of 270 kilometres per hour (168 mph). The Azure is set to be priced at $320,000.00.
