Mansory Nearly Ready to Release their Take on the Bentayga

Do you ever get to your 17 car garage, slide into your Bentayga and say to yourself “This is great, but it just isn’t powerful or luxurious enough for me?”

It’s a serious problem we all face. Thanks to Mansory, though, now there’s a solution.

Since the Bentayga’s launch, a scant month and a half ago, Mansory have been working hard on their Bentley Bentayga Refinement Programme, which they say involves extensive bodywork, new wheels, interior customization, and a substantial performance increase.

“Substantial performance increases,” normally wouldn’t be that hard in an SUV, but the Bentayga comes from the factory with the highest top speed of any SUV currently on the market (187 mph), so that’s a pretty impressive claim.

Mansory have only given us hints of how that will be accomplished. They’ve revealed that the SUV will wear very lightweight “sporty and luxurious,” 23-inch wheels. They’re also fitting carbon fiber inside and out, which should help reduce the kerb weight. And they say they’ve worked on engine performance, too.

It’s not just performance, though, that has been considered. Luxury, too, is an important part of the equation. Mansory boasts that its upholstery team and its design department have teamed up to make a carbon-based design that brings the outside look of the Bentayga inside. The look will include leather, Alcantara, wood, and carbon fiber.

Expect to see more of Mansory’s Bentayga in the coming weeks.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
