Just earlier this year, Bentley had outlined its green strategy at the Geneva Motor Show with its main goal being to reduce fleet-emissions by 15 percent by 2012. Well, with the release of its new 2009 Bentley Azure T, Bentley is not mentioning fuel-economy or emissions anywhere. However, it is mentioning an 11 percent increase in power and a 14 percent increase in torque over its Azure stable mate.

The 2009 Bentley Azure T offers an open-top, elegant and powerful experience to Bentley customers. Power comes from an all-aluminium 6? liter twin-turbocharged?V8 that makes 500-hp with a peak torque of 738 lb-ft. Mated to a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission, the Azure T goes from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds (0 to 62 mph in 5.5) with a top speed of 179 mph. The transmission also offers?three?driving models including Drive, Sport and Manual

For a more luxury appearance Bentley has added?Le Mans front wing vents, dark tint matrix grille and 20-inch 5-spoke wheels. And of course your coolness level will go up with the signature Bentley retractable Flying B mascot on the hood.
