But the car looks magnificent with a powerful twin-turbo because it produces 50 horsepower and 93 pound-feet of torque for the monumental 500 and 738. Indeed, some rival many of these cars, because they want to get the best in the global market segment.

The Azure is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.8-liter V8, which is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission that drives the rear wheels. The V8 cranks out 500 hp and a prodigious 748 lb-ft of torque. Acceleration is impressive given the Azure’s bulky 6,000-pound curb weight — Bentley estimates a 0-60-mph sprint of 5.2 seconds. Fuel economy is an estimated 9 mpg city/15 mpg highway and 11 mpg combined.

The Azure T comes standard with side airbags front and rear, antilock brakes, stability control, front and rear parking sensors and roll bars that deploy from behind the rear seats.

In the grand British tradition, the Bentley Azure has a beautifully crafted interior that’s not especially functional. Exquisite leather and wood trim imbue the cabin with a classic old-world feel, and the extensive selection of carpets, wood and hide colors leave ample room for that personal touch.

However, the overall effect is diminished by a steering wheel that doesn’t telescope and aesthetically mismatched stereo and navigation systems that are difficult to use. Such are the complications of installing modern electronics in an interior designed in the late ’90s when such technology was but a glimmer in some nerd’s eye.

Enormous power and torque from the V8 notwithstanding, 2010 Bentley Azure T 3-ton curb weight puts a damper on straight-line performance, though a 5.2-second sprint to 60 mph is nothing to sneeze at. Beyond the usual dizzying array of customization options (colors, leather, veneers, trims), Bentley offers 20-inch wheels, a rearview camera, an iPod interface and a 10-speaker Naim sound system.
