Bentley Azure to receive a proper unveiling Down Under

The production version of the Bentley Azure convertible will unveil itself to the world this weekend at the Melbourne Motor Show in Australia. The Azure, which started off as the Bentley Drophead Coupe concept (shown) at the Los Angeles Auto Show earlier this year, should start at around $515,000, packed with a 6.75-liter V8 engine putting out 456 bhp. 

The announcement comes as no surprise -- at the LA Show, Bentley executives all but said production would start in the spring of an Arnage convertible, since the "if reaction is favorable" part was something of a rhetorical addendum.
