Robb Report Malaysia’s Johor Bahru Sojourn Showcased Bentley’s Automobiles Followed By A Selection Of Single-Malt Scotches From The Macallan
A driving experience featuring Bentley’s luxury SUV and grand tourer.
Robb Report Malaysia’s recent edition of Dream Machines recently turned the Arden gallery, located in the heart of Johor Bahru, into a haven dedicated to British automotive royalty. For the automotive brand famed for its Winged B emblem, two stellar models, namely the Bentley Bentayga Extended Wheelbase (EWB) Azure and the new Continental GT, took centre stage here in Johor Bahru.
The Bentayga EWB Azure is a pinnacle SUV, which boasts unique quilted seats as well as plenty of premium tech, such as Bentley Diamond Illumination and LED welcome lights. It is also designed with a curated selection of ‘wellbeing behind the wheel’ features, designed to enhance the comfort of the driver and passengers.
The range of personalisation options for the Bentayga EWB Azure—as well as all other models by the marque—includes options of colours far and beyond its standard palette of seven exterior colours. The range of hues goes wide with the Extended Paint Range, as well as satin and Mulliner Legacy Colours—making for a total of 80 colours to match the interiors, which dazzle with more than 10 different veneer finishes, as well as technical and painted finishes ranging from Piano Black and Cricket Ball to Burnt Oak.
In the case of the new Continental GT, this luxury hybrid coupe proved to be the quickest automobile for the day, with its century sprint record clocking in at just 3.1 seconds. This fourth generation of the iconic luxury grand tourer carries revolutionary new design, with an aerodynamic face, innovative headlamps, and a host of new streamlined features, starting from the grilles to the tail lamps and bumpers.
Following the day of driving, Robb Report Malaysia’s readers settled in for some drams of The Macallan, a partner of Bentley since 2021, grounded in shared values of rich heritage and a shared vision of the future. The partnership has also included an exploration of Speyside, Scotland, in a chauffeur-driven Bentayga Hybrid, while learning about the local folklore, whisky history, and natural landscape where The Macallan Estate is situated.
