Offered for an appreciating new owner is exquisite classic 1996 Bentley Azure Convertible!
Finished in royal blue metallic over pearl beige leather, this EXCEPTIONAL Bentley convertible has been driven just
over 28,200 miles since purchased new. It sports a great running 6.75 liter [412 cubic inch] turbocharged aluminum
V8 engine with water-cooled inter-cooler and ZYTEK EMS 3 computer-controlled engine management system. The ensuing
results is 400-horsepower and a whopping 553 foot-pounds of torque enabling this 5400 pound motor car to hit 60
miles per hour in about 6 seconds and continuing on to its limited top speed of 150 miles per hour! It almost goes
without saying that the car is loaded with amenities that include an electronically controlled tilt steering column
that is linked to preset positions of the driver's seat and mirrors.along with electric windows and mirrors, fully
insulated power top, chrome alloy wheels with excellent Pirelli rubber, new high-end Alpine audio system and
original owner's manuals. This gorgeous Azure just received a professional detail, 100 point inspection and
complete service including valve cover gaskets, battery, power steering hoses and power top RAMs.This is a great

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this 1996 Pinanfarina-designed Azure is in excellent to mint 99.9% rust-free condition overall with
a gleaming overall metallic paint finish. There are a few minor cosmetic imperfections one would expect from a 20+
year-old low-mileage car that include rock nicks/chips and other light blemishes. There is some orange peel on the
paint surface of the rear emblem strip.
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this non-smoker Bentley is in excellent , near-new
condition overall with nearly all systems in excellent working order with COLD a/c, buttery soft leather and more.
One or more of the electric controls on the passenger seat are currently inop. It did not get any more luxurious
than this in 1996!
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1996 Bentley starts right up with excellent running engine producing 747-like torque, buttery smooth shifting
transmission, solid braking, precise steering, excellent highway tracking and ultra quiet and smooth suspension.
Driving this car topless on a warm sunny day is truly a MOTORING EVENT!

2015 Bentley Mulsanne Speed unleashes a tidal wave of torque
Tue, 16 Sep 2014
811 lb-ft of torque puts the Mulsanne Speed out ahead of every so-called muscle car on the market and eclipses most million-dollar hypercars.
Those in the market for a sedan with equal levels of performance and luxury would do well to stop by their local Bentley dealership, and have a look at the Flying Spur. Though not available in Speed trim like the previous four-door Continental, the W12 model already packs the 616-horsepower 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 from the Continental GT Speed - and we wouldn't be surprised to see the British automaker come out with an even more performance-oriented version in the future. But what about the Mulsanne?
Meet the Bentley Inspirator, your A.I. Bentayga configurator
Sat, Oct 24 2015The future of the car configurator just sprouted a tender new shoot. The Bentley Inspirator app relieves Bentayga buyers of most of the heavy lifting when they're trying to sort out what kind of image they want their super-luxe SUV to project. Usable on any Apple iOS device, the app plays a video and then scans the viewer's face for emotional cues. The video changes based on the viewer's responses to on-screen images, so theoretically, two viewers shouldn't see the same video. The app achieves this by noting 34 "facial landmarks" based on an "emotion data repository" filled with "more than 12 million emotion data points" provided by 3.4 million faces from 75 million countries. At the end of the film, the app suggests a Bentayga configuration, from colors to veneers to wheels. Now fresh from the effort, the prospective customer can apply all of his or her energies to fine tuning the result. You can download it from Bentley's site or the app store, watch the video of how it works above, and check out the press release below. Related Video: BENTLEY INSPIRATOR: PERSONAL PREFERENCE BROUGHT TO LIFE - Inspirator app is the next generation of digital car configurator - Emotion-recognition technology interprets users' facial expressions and generates vehicle configuration - Bentley Inspirator application available to download now at www.bentleymotors.com/inspirator and in Apple App Store (Crewe, 21 October 2015) Personal style preferences can now be transformed into recommendation, with Bentley's latest innovation: the Inspirator. The application monitors the users' facial expressions and reactions and interprets them in order to configure the perfect Bentley for them. Utilising any iOS device's camera function, the application's facial and emotion recognition software measures and analyses the viewer's emotion based on nuanced facial expressions. 34 facial landmarks are identified at 15 frames per second, as the viewer reacts to stimulating film content. The accurate emotion metrics algorithms are built using the world's largest emotion data repository – 3.4 million faces have been analysed in 75 countries amounting to more than 12 billion emotion data points. The viewer's reactions dictate a unique film narrative; the film changes according to what the user responds to most positively, but also deciphers their preferences, creating a unique configuration revealed at the end of the film.
Volkswagen breaks 40-year-old sales record in 2012
Sun, 13 Jan 2013The last time Volkswagen moved this many vehicles in America in one year, Richard Nixon was still a President in good standing, Let It Be was a radio hit and each car wearing the VW badge boasted an air-cooled engine. That's right, with a grand total of 580,286 vehicles sold in the US last year, the VW Group has broken its own four-decades-old sales record by 2,899 vehicles.
Of that 580k total sold, 438k were Volkswagens and 139k were Audi products - increases of 35.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, in year-over-year sales. The ultra-premium members of the VW group also fared well; Bentley delivered 2,315 vehicles for a 23.3-precent increase, and Lamborghini delivered 520 units for a 52.9-percent jump. Bugatti, we're told is "right on track."
Jetta (pictured) sales paced the marque with 170k models sold, and Passat also finished very strong with sales of 117k total. Tiguan also racked up its best year on file, with 31,731 models shifted.
