You can do a poo in this $37.5m Bentley*
Only problem is it’s permanently, um, parked in Miami
Like spending time in your Bentley but wish you didn’t have to get out to defecate? Adore using your Bentley in town and have no desire to drive it into the countryside? Then we’ve good news – here’s an official Bentley product that never leaves the city AND comes with a free loo.
Regrettably, this isn’t a special edition Bentayga motorhome (we’ve got ideas, Bentley factory – call us). What we have here, for a cool $37.5 million, is a Bentley penthouse.
Yes, welcome to TopGear.com’s Property-Watch, where we keep an eye out for the posh residences dreamt up by carmakers. It’s… not the busiest section of the Top Gear universe, if we’re honest. Mostly because carmakers usually stick to making cars.
Not Bentley. So here we have the penthouse on top of the new Bentley Residences Miami building. Your view? The clear blue waters of Sunny Isles Beach. Your furniture and décor? Inspired by the flowing lines of Bentley cars, apparently. And if you turn it upside down the coffee table actually says ‘Volkswagen’ underneath. Only joking.
The Crewe-based carmaker has a whole ‘Bentley Home’ department dedicated to this calibre of high-end living. And the penthouse does feature recognisable cues from road-going Bentleys, sort of. There are natural stone and wood facias. Ambient lighting. And launch control. Okay, joking again.
The building houses everything a Bentley owner would expect – a spa for humans, a spa for pets (really), a beauty salon (for humans again), a whisky bar, a cigar lounge (still for humans right?), and a restaurant. But no water park or bowling alley.
Our favourite feature, and we’re being deadly serious, is something called the ‘Dezervator’. Sounds like a villain in the Harry Potter universe, but in fact it’s a ‘patented vehicle elevator’ which will carry you and your car all the way from ground level up to the top-floor apartment. You don’t even have to get out of the car.
It arrives into a glass-sided garage with ample parking and seven EV charging points. Views of the beach included? Naturally.
So, if you’re in the market for a new Miami pad and like the smell of Bentley upholstery, let us know when the guest room is free...
