2015 Bentley Grand Convertible Concept - Top Speed
The Azure, the two-door, convertible version of the Arnage was the last Bentley directly aimed at the Drophead Coupe, with that mission being somewhat transferred to the Continental Convertible, a smaller, yet more powerful vehicle. This just changed at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, where Bentley introduced the Grand Convertible, a full-size, drop-top concept car based on the Mulsanne. Although Bentley had nothing to say about possible plans to put the Grand Convertible in production, the concept looks ready to hit the assembly line and we have reason to believe the Brits are finally rolling out a replacement for the Azure. We’ll be on the lookout to find out more about what Bentley intends to do with it, but in the meantime let’s have a closer look at the Grand Convertible or the company’s first full-size cabriolet in five years. Although it doesn’t wear the Mulsanne moniker, the Grand Convertible is all Mulsanne when it comes to styling. Sure, it misses the rear doors and it sports a shorter wheelbase, but, other than that, the Grand Convertible is a Mulsanne front to rear. The same goes for the rear end and the sides, with nearly every single detail found on the Mulsanne seen on the convertible as well, including the side-sill chrome strips, the door handles, the side mirrors or the sculpted rear fenders.
