2001 Bentley Azure Owners Manual

type='html'>2001 Bentley Azure Owners Manual - Guys, here is me Jay, one of the author of this blog. Back again to review the 20012 Bentley Azure. Though Bentley is best known for building sumptuous sedans in which the owner rides in the back while someone else drives, the company also builds cars that more sporting owners might prefer to drive.

Those cars would be the Continental R two-door coupe and the companion Azure convertible, which Bentley says can reach 60 mph in 6.3 seconds — despite a hefty curb weight of more than 5,400 pounds — and top out at 150 mph.

If that isn’t enough, Bentley offers higher performance Mulliner versions of both. The top speed is 155 mph on the Azure Mulliner and 170 mph on the Continental R Mulliner.

At 210 inches long, the Continental R and Azure — which share the same design as the Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible — are a few inches longer than the Cadillac DeVille and 5 inches shorter than the Lincoln Town Car. A stately stainless-steel grille dominates the front styling on both.

Mulliner versions come with 18-inch wheels and tires — instead of the 17-inch wheels used on the base models — wheel-arch flares, front air dams and a wire-mesh grille. The power convertible top on the Azure stores beneath a flush-fitting panel behind the seats.
