The Bentley Azure was introduced in 1995 as a convertible version of the Continental R, combining traditional Bentley luxury with open-air motoring. Hand-built in Crewe, it featured the legendary 6.75-liter turbocharged V8 delivering effortless torque and refinement. With coachwork by Pininfarina and later enhancements by Mulliner, the Azure became one of the most luxurious convertibles of its time, favored by royalty and celebrities. The 2002 Mulliner edition marked the height of bespoke craftsmanship, with individualized interiors, advanced comfort features, and commanding road presence. Today, it remains an icon of grand touring luxury, embodying Bentley’s dedication to power, elegance, and exclusivity.
