Any Bentley is a fine automobile, but the Crewes, UK, automaker went to extra lengths with the Bentayga EWB Azure Riviera Collection. The extended-wheelbase SUV was styled like a luxurious superyacht, finished for beauty, luxury, and comfort. The Bentayga’s powertrain and mechanicals are unchanged in this edition, which epitomizes indulgence and relaxation.

Why Bentley chose a yachting theme for the Bentayga EWB Azure’s introduction

The Bentayga EWB Azure Riviera Collection fits right in with the superyachts in the Monaco harbor. Monaco is as much a showcase for luxurious living as it is a destination. The interior detailing, especially the seating, and the technology employed in the Bentayga EWB Azure are all focused on the height of comfort for the passengers. All Bentleys are luxury performance drivers’ cars, but this version also coddles and cossets passengers.

When a car is a sanctuary

The car’s Airline Seat Specification is the highlight feature if you can look past the Bentayga EWB Azure interior’s bespoke materials, surfaces, and finishes. The seats have 22-way adjustability and advanced climate sensing technology. The long wheelbase provides ample legroom for second-row passengers, who can rest their feet on folding footrests built into the front seatbacks.

While seated, passengers can immerse in comfort with Bentley Diamond Illumination, a Bang&Olufsen for Bentley audio system, Mood Lighting Specification, and rear seat entertainment options. Because it’s important to have a place to put a drink and snacks, the Bentaua EWB Azure also has picnic tables with leather inserts. Finally, passengers needn’t pause when they reluctantly exit the car because the rear doors have a Power Close feature.

McLaren and Motul develop bespoke lubricant to keep them on top
Motul uses McLaren Racing to test the limits of their formulas
Auto Racing, Car, Formula One

My first vehicle was a 1988 Ford Ranger. It was small, reliable, and the perfect first car. However, I wasn't allowed to park it in the driveway at home because it went through as much oil as it did gas. The leak was bad enough that I had to check and refill the oil once a week. The same cadence as the gas tank. That was where I learned the importance of fluids for cars. McLaren hits the Formula 1 tracks across the globe with that importance at the forefront of mind as they compete for the championship, and will now be teaming with Motul to take their collaboration for the world's most reliable lubricant to the world of endurance racing. From the high stress of speed in Formula 1 to the endurance of long-distance racing, the perfect bespoke lubricant is on the way.

McLaren was already using a very high-performance transmission fluid, with an extremely high level of requirements. Our challenge was to go even further: decrease friction losses even more while ensuring lubricant durability over time. The formulation developed with McLaren Racing has been validated to maintain its performance over several thousand kilometers under Formula 1 conditions. And this is only the beginning: in F1, cars are constantly evolving, and the formulation will continue to progress as well. - Julien Plet, Head of R&D at Motul.

Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton

Charles Leclerc earned his first victory in almost two years for Ferrari. Unfortunately for him, all the chatter around the British Grand Prix will be about its controversial ending that resulted in the 175,000-strong crowd at Silverstone booing after they were denied a dramatic finish.

The record crowd at Silverstone was in for a thriller from the start, with Leclerc staking claim to the lead, followed by Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton behind him. 19-year-old phenom Kimi Antonelli didn't need long to take over Hamilton. And it seemed like Antonelli was positioning himself for a stunning sixth Formula 1 victory, taking the lead after Leclerc made a pit stop.
