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.

Michael Jordan’s 1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello Hitting Auction Block After Decades-Long Search
Car, Coupe, Sports Car

On May 29, 1997, Michael Jordan had a Ferrari 550 Maranello delivered to him. It was a match made in heaven: a renowned supercar for the greatest basketball player of all time. At the time, Jordan was on a quest to win his fifth NBA championship with the Chicago Bulls. Less than a month later, he accomplished the feat. Hours after claiming his fifth NBA title on June 13, 1997, Jordan was seen in the bowels of United Center, sitting in his Ferrari, with a cigar in hand. Photographers followed him as he smiled for the cameras while he sat behind the wheel: Rosso Barchetta over tan leather, chrome Speedline wheels, and an Illinois plate that read “MJ 5.”

The Ferrari 550 Maranello was a landmark for the Italian luxury sports car manufacturer, marking its return to the front-engined V12 — a two-seat berlinetta with a gated manual, the configuration that made the marque’s name, revived after more than two decades away. The Ferrari was a constant presence as he geared up for his sixth NBA title and his second three-peat. He drove the car to home games, practices, and public appearances.

Honda Just Hid a Superbike Engine Inside a 1980s Time Machine
Helmet, Adult, Male

In the late 70s and early 80s, legendary racer Freddie Spencer rocketed around circuits, capturing AMA Superbike titles and exhibiting the smooth, precise style he became known for. But just as important were the bikes he did it on — production-based Honda CB750s and 900s, looking as much like street bikes as racing machines. No windscreen, upright bars, and a bulging, muscular fuel tank. It was truly production-based racing.

That era of Honda CB motorcycles had the rare combination of street presence and race-worthy performance — icons of an era gone by. But Honda didn’t forget. The new CB1000F hearkens back to AMA Superbike’s golden age, while looking ahead with modern tech and street-worthy style. Here’s what makes this bike a compelling design.
