Tipped to be called Havana, it's the ultimate in conspicuous consumption, with a price in excess of £200,000, a V8 engine serving up enough torque to make the earth spin backwards and the most sumptuous interior this side of a sultan's palace. The Havana is expected at spring 2007 Geneva motor show, with sales following in 2008. It's another indication of Bentley's stunning transformation, from Brit also ran selling 2000 cars a year to a strong luxury player shifting five times that amount. For more on Bentley's strategy, read the interview with boss Franz-Josef Paefgen in the December issue of CAR Magazine. Can't wait to see the final looks!
That's a good looking car, actually scratch that.. that's a amazing looking car Can't wait to see more on it, karma for the great post.
WOW Bangle butt its Beautiful BTW My only negative is the name, whats so British about Cuba ? VWAGs big shareholders meeting in April this year, stated IIRC in PR that this model will be called Azure Coupe which is better than Havana IMO. Edit Never realised the Bangle butt was on the Azure Cabriolet as well
Has potential I think, most definitely posses the grandeur of it's predecessor, can't stand the rims on the car in the pics though.
I totally agree Deutsch. Actually, I don't like any of the current Bentley rims. These older wheels are much better. I don't usually like chrome rims, but these look good.
The Brooklands RT was probably one of my favorite oldtimer Bentleys. Just enough added flare from the rims and subtle aerodynamic enhancements.
The car looks gorgeous and fits especially well with the trend toward large, fast cruisers. It's exciting to see the advent of these newer GT's like the Bentley GT, new Mercedes CL and now the Havana. Regardless of the comparatively fewer sales of these models, the high profitability factor should encourage other manufacturers to bring additional examples to market. THe baby boomers need more toys and these are perfect for larger wallets and larger derrieres.
They are the perfect thing for obscenely-wealthy baby boomers who live in a make-believe fantasy world where climate change and a looming global economic crisis do not exist.
