2010 Bentley Azure T - 738 lb-ft of torque ameliorates a 600-lb curb weight!

Impressive numbers, but the look just doesn't compare to the Phantom Drophead for me!

2010 Bentley Azure T

Really? Of all the cars on the market today that need to muscle up, Bentley’s $342,000 land yacht, the palatial Azure convertible, definitely isn’t one of them. With some 450 horsepower and a prodigious 645 lb-ft of torque available from its twin-turbocharged 6.8-liter V-8, the base Azure can hit 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, a figure that is in no need of improvement, frankly. More to the point—who the hell wants to go hyperspeed in a 6000-pound ragtop, anyway?

Arnage T lives....

The Rolls is more genteel, this is more brutish in the classical british GT sense.

I want one so badly

Arnage T > Phantom
Azure > Drophead

Reportedly the combination of 600lb and 738lb/ft torque was achieved by strapping a driver's seat to a liquid fuel rocket. Soft top not included.
