2006 Bentley Azure rear

With the more modern Continental series making Bentley headlines, you'd think the Azure would have been consigned to history, but the ultimate 2+2 dating back to its British days has been renewed for 2006. The 4-speed automatic and 5.9-second 0-60 estimate are a bit behind the times, but with 450 horsepower and two tons of torque (645 pounds-feet) from its 6.8-liter turbo V8 and the wind whooshing through everyone's hair, no one will notice. This nostalgic piece of elitist open-air motoring comes to a dealership near you this spring, at a price that remains to be seen.
