The Bentley Bentayga Just Got Even More Luxurious

The company calls it “the ultimate luxury SUV.”

The Bentley Bentayga is already the world’s most expensive SUV, but that hasn’t stopped the British automaker from making an even more expensive version. Turning to its in-house personal commissioning division, Mulliner, Bentley has created the Bentayga Mulliner and a special one-off version will be shown at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show next week. The model is the new flagship for the Bentayga range and aims to set new standards in automotive luxury.

Offered for the first time on the Bentayga is the optional Duo Tone paintwork, further complemented by unique 22-inch wheels. Inside, there’s a Mulliner Bottle Cooler and a new veneer concept. Other minor changes include a unique exterior badge and the addition as standard of body-colored lower bodywork and bright chromed lower bumper grilles.

The two-tone scheme carries into the cabin with seven suggested color ways available. The interior color split has the front and rear seats finished in different hide colors, while the hand-stitched hides are finished with unique Mulliner embroidery and contrast stitching. The exclusive veneer concept is called Ombré Burr Walnut Veneer, showcasing a unique wood transition from Black through to Burr Walnut as the veneer wraps around the interior. There is also a special veneered panel that replaces the standard central console fascia.

Like other Bentley Mulliner models, the powertrain remains untouched with the model continuing to offer 600 horsepower and 663 pound-feet of torque from a 6.0-liter W12 engine.

No pricing was announced, but the standard Bentley Bentayga starts from $229,100. The new Bentley Bentayga Mulliner will be built in limited numbers and will be available to order in spring 2017.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

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...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
