With the Arnage having now been replace by the Mulsanne, the next vehicle in the Bentley lineup to be retired is the Azure. This comes as no surprise as the Azure is based on the very same platform, which is now quite dated, going all the way back to 1998. According to a report by BurlapCars, the Azure’s replacement may very well get four doors – something that will help set it apart from the Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupé.

There’s no word on how soon the new Azure (which will presumably run under a new name) will arrive, but in the mean time we expect to hear more details about the demise of the Brooklands. That model is also based on the same older Arnage platform, which Bentley is said to be retiring completely.
