Bentley Azure

Bentley Azure is a luxury car with exquisite design and cutting-edge technology. Bentley has employed traditional techniques of craftsmanship in the building of Azure. Individuality of finish and flexibility of design are the hallmark of Bentley's craftsmanship. The veneer leaves used in Bentley Azure's interiors are just 0.6mm thick and are given five coats of lacquer and three days of curing time before being wax polished by hand. Bentley combines precision technology and traditional craft skills to produce a perfect finish. The luxurious leather surrounds used in Azure's interiors are made of more than dozen separate hides. To ensure that there is no variation in texture between the different hides, they are selected and cut at the same time after being minutely inspected for imperfections.

Bentley Brookland

Bentley Brooklands is a powerful and muscular luxury car inspired by the exploits of the 'Bentley Boys' at the famous Brooklands racetrack in the 1920s. The grand touring coupe captures all the panache, power and splendour of that era. Bentley Brooklands has a strictly limited lifetime production of 550 cars. Brooklands is a perfect amalgam of Bentley's traditional coach-building skills, and state-of-the art design and engineering sophistication. The 'floating' rear screen with its lower edge sitting well above the upper edge of the boot lid provides a flowing, flawless line to the back of the car. Bentley's famed craftsmanship skills in wood veneers and leather hides are evident in Brooklands interiors.

Bentley Continental

Bentley Continental is an amalgam of phenomenal power, exquisite performance, contemporary design and highest standards of handcraftsmanship. Bentley Continental is powered by 12-cylinder, 6-litre, twin-turbocharged engine. Unlike a conventional 12-cylinder engine with two banks of six, the Continental's 6-litre engine is configured in four banks of three cylinders in a W formation. This results in a shorter and much more compact unit which allows for significantly more interior space and improved dynamics.
