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...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
