Bentley Azure Convertible Mulliner $376,485

If this car looks a lot like the Rolls Corniche Convertible, you're on to something. Both cars ride on the same wheelbase and have the same motor, although in the Bentley you get much more torque and horsepower.

That still doesn't put the Azure Convertible on par with the all-new Arnage T (which we'll review next week), but with 590 foot-pounds of torque, the Azure does at least make this big car feel exceedingly sporty. There's even less backseat room in the Azure Convertible than in the Rolls, however, which gives front-seaters (Bentleys are driver's cars, remember) plenty of legroom and makes the backseat a great place to park your briefcase.


As with all Bentleys, what you want is what you get. In this case, lots and lots of wood, plus chrome.

The convertible is automatic, of course, as is the transmission. Still, like the Rolls, this is a somewhat old design, one likely to get significantly refreshed in the coming years, especially with the likes of the Arnage T showing how much more performance is possible.
