2009 Bentley Azure: T Stands for 50?

2009 Bentley Azure: T Stands for 50?

Bentley is upping the luxury stakes with a new "T" version of its Azure convertible, due for a debut at the Los Angeles auto show. The new 2009 Bentley Azure T, the VW-owned brand says, is "the world’s most elegant convertible and destined to become a future classic." Backing up that statement is the high-performance twin-turbo version of the brand's 6.75-liter V-8, which breathes out 500 bhp in this application. It's still coupled to a six-speed ZF automatic transmission, and together they conspire for a 0-60 mph time of 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 179 mph, Bentley promises. Cosmetic upgrades--because T owners can hardly bear to be seen... Bentley is upping the luxury stakes with a new "T" version of its Azure convertible, due for a debut at the Los Angeles auto show.
