Bentley unveils Grand Convertible before LA Auto Show debut

Open-top opulence, that is what Bentley’s Grand Convertible offers. Unveiled before its official debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the car is claimed to be the most sophisticated and elegant convertible. The ‘Sequin Blue’ colour that the Grand Convertible is finished in, has been inspired by a customers’ hand-made gown, while the bonnet and windscreen frame feature a silver ‘liquid metal’ finish.

The interiors are bespoke as well with the cabin sporting 14 different leather hides merged with diamond quilting. The exterior’s blue theme continues on the inside with a sequin blue thread cross-stitched by hand running through the linen-coloured leather. Dark stained Burr Walnut wood trim covers the dashboard and is handcrafted in a mix of chromed steel.

The convertible will be powered by the same 6.75-litre V8 found in the Mulsanne, that develops 530bhp and 1100Nm.
