Bentley just announced its "ultimate" Valentine’s Day gift! No, that's a Bentley Continental GTC Speed; it is a ski! Yes, a car manufacturer is offering skis for valentine's gift. I have never seen more interesting gift from a car company which is aiming for an emotional day :) The most eye catching feature of these skis is its price tag, 6800€! Huge bargain! I hope that, price is for a pair not for each one :)
And here is the main reason why they charge this amount just for skis;
"Made to last a lifetime, zai for Bentley skis are designed to be durable, reliable and resistant to corrosion, with each pair featuring unique and patented technology and materials, which make them not only ‘one-of-a-kind’ but also a world first.
Zaiìra®, the novel composite material used in the skis, was originally created for use in the latest generation of aircraft. It contains carbon fibres that are used on the skis’ top layer, in combination with natural rubber in the central part, as well as a carbon fabric in composition with chrome steel in the torsion part and long carbon fibre Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites (LFRTP). This combination of technology and performance give maximum performance with minimum weight as well as the ability to lie firmly and reliably in the snow, whatever its condition."

As I don't know how to ski, hopefully nobody will buy a pair of Zai for Bentley Skis :) At least they could have offered a more romantic colour !
