Bentley to Debut Three Models at Pebble Beach

The Flying Spur V8 S, the Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase, and the first ever tow bar on a Bentley will all be shown for the first time on American soil at Monterey Car Week.

The Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase was first shown in China, earlier this year, and is the brand’s premium limousine. Rather than driving it, you’re driven in it.

As a result, it’s been designed to remind passengers of traveling first class. It will be shown at the Quail: A Motorsports Gethering on Friday.

The Flying Spur V8 S, on the other hand, is designed to be driven. It slots in between the V8 and the W12, and is tuned for performance with more power and a tuned suspension.

Then comes the Bentayga, which for the first time in Bentley’s nearly 100 year history, will feature a tow bar. Behind it, there will be a Bowlus Chief, hand crafted aluminum trailer.

“The Monterey Auto Week always sees a remarkable gathering of Bentley customers and enthusiasts, and is a great occasion to celebrate the past and present of this iconic brand,” says Michael Winkler, Bentley CEO. “We are fast approaching our centenary in 2019, and our newest vehicles on display at Pebble Beach this year point to an extraordinary future.”

Finally, Bentley will also be showing the Continental GT Speed Black Edition, the most powerful Bentley ever, capable of 206 mph.

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 ...
