It is time to e-mail in those last minute requests to Santa before he breaks camp on Christmas eve, because the British automaker Bentley has just come up with the Zai Bentley Supersport skis. Designed by their Styling Studio in Crewe, these carbon fiber composite skis are guaranteed to live up to the Bentley standard, as far as both performance and aesthetics are concerned. Not to mention that they would make the perfect accompaniment for your ice white Conntinental GT and are the best excuse ever to take the Bentley for this winter’s ski trip.  The skis are handmade and they are made from Zaiira, which is a special composite material that includes carbon fiber, chrome steel and rubber. The ski poles also demonstrate a new technology, ExoGrid, used solely for the first time in the Bentley skis. A unique combination of the materials titan and carbon fabric reduces weight and guarantees high stability, and is currently used for golf shafts. There are only 250 pairs available and they are priced at $9,800 for the set. So if you were a good little boy or girl this year, you might just find something special in the garage next to your Bentley. Press release after the jump.

What ski in the car section? what the hell! I think this thing shouldn’t put here in the car section!
 hmm. This ski thing is worst than those bikes that continuous coming out in the car section. I don’t know if I’m going to laugh over this thing. It gives me a feeling that I’m actually here for online shopping!
 I don’t get why some spend almost $650 for the skis. Those people who spend $5K and use it for only TWICE a year..they !
 Nice vintage ferrari at long last I’ve this kind of model I’m actually getting bored on your long front vintages.
 No way! A Bentley Ski that have the material for cars and use this as a material for ski. Damn that hot item!. Although the sales of this product is not that banging on the market, at least there are people who appreciate quality class ski.
