Bentley Introduces the Bentayga for Falconers

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

Bentley is now catering to that great untapped market of falconers who also have a bunch of money (I’m pretty sure that Venn diagram is just a circle) with the Bentayga Falconry by Mulliner.

Created by Bentley’s in-house commissioning division, the Bentayga Falconry includes everything you and your alcon could ever need for a day in the dunes.

The biggest changes come in the back, where two sets of drawers are installed. The first contains all of your falconing kit, some in car perches, and hand-crafted leather bird hoods and gauntlets (available as an option).

The second drawer, on the other hand, is a refreshments case, which contains three metal flasks and some durable cups, in case you should build up a thirst preparing your falcon for hunting.

The cases are trimmed in a natural-cork-fabric and sit on a movable tray. Inside the master flight drawer is a drawer finished in a Piano Black veneer with a saker falcon crest.

Up front, the central armrest is now a removable “transportation perch” with a tether and another saker falcon designed in marquetry. This bespoke desert scene requires 430 individual pieces of wood sourced from all over the world.

In case you aren’t up on your falconing, the saker falcon is one of the most prized and can sell for as much as $1,000,000.

No price is quoted for all of this luxury (and more), but if you’re spending $1,000,000 on birds, I don’t suppose you care much.

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 ...
