However odd it may sound, the luxury car maker Bentley has teamed up with Swiss ski manufacturer Zai to create limited edition Bentley Zai Supersport Skis.
A first for Bentley, the Bentley Zai Supersport Skis incorporate all the luxurious and careful detailing of the car company’s own luxury vehicles. The skis are all handmade and use carbon-fiber, rubber, and steel—materials that, according to The Luxury Insider, have never before been used in the production of skis.
