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.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen’s Gone to California with Grand California Camper

Volkswagen is bringing the California XXL concept to production. It will debut at the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon as the Grand California. It’s set to be based on the medium wheelbase Crafter van. That’s the company’s full-size commercial van, larger than the T6 Transporter based California. The high roof means room for adults to stand up, though it won’t get the concept’s extended length. The Grand California offers a full wet bathroom. It’s not exactly spacious, though, measuring in at around 31.5 x 33-inches. A toilet, shower, and sink are all crammed into that space, but at least there are motion sensor lights to stop you from reaching for a switch. Standard, the Grand California it comes with berths for two adults. Space for two children is optional, but they’ll be stuck in a berth amove the driver’s area. The kitchen offers a sink, stove, and two fridges. The front seats swivel to add seating space when the RV is parked. It’s also got solar panels, an integrated satellite dish,...

Novitec, Unsatisfied with Aventador SV, Adds More Veloce

The Lamborghini Aventador SV is no slouch, but if you’re into Lamborghinis, chances are you’re into big numbers. Whether it’s in the bank or under the hood, a big number could, and perhaps should, always be bigger, which is where Novitec steps in. Novitec has been modifying Italian cars for years, and their Torado line is dedicated to making ridiculous Lamborghinis even more ridiculous. Their latest effort takes the Aventador SV and remaps the engine to give it 786hp and 544 lb-ft of toque. They’ve also fitted the car with a new exhaust system that cuts 50 lbs off the car. Other mods include a carbon fiber aero package, spoiler, front splitter and air intake, all of which helps it shed even more weight. The Aventador also sits on 21 (back) and 20 (front) inch Vossen wheels. So if you think that a regular Aventador is just a little too pedestrian, give Novitec a call and they’ll hook you up.
