Mansory Bentley Bentayga previewed

My my, Mansory, this hasn't taken you long...

---

There was a sense of inevitability about this. The Bentley Bentayga, a car with what's best described as divisive styling, was always going to be pounced upon by the aftermarket soon enough. Mansory appears to have been the first, and has just released a preview of its finished product. Or some might call it an advance warning...

Promising "mountainous performance", the Mansory Bentayga will do more than just add to the standard car's 608hp. Oh yes. As this image shows, the wheels have been switched for 23-inch 'XXL light alloy wheels', and there's a sneak peek at the bonnet carbon fibre too. Mansory says "we do not scrimp on using carbon", so expect usage somewhere between the liberal and the gratuitous.

Whatever is found outside will be replicated within also, Mansory suggesting the "carbon-based design... brings the exclusive look of the exterior into the vehicle itself." Brace yourself, basically. That's in addition to as much leather, wood and Alcantara as they could lay their hands on.

You may (or may not) be pleased to hear that not a great deal else has been released by Mansory yet. Prospective customers can keep up to date on the Mansory website, but it doesn't sound like they will be waiting long. Finally, while the specifics of what those customers will receive is to be confirmed, Mansory is in little doubt as to the overall project goal: "There is no other vehicle that is as exclusive and well-equipped as this vehicle, both on and off the road." Full details (and more pictures) as they become available.

If you can't fly to Saudi to see one of these, then I'm sure several will appear at the annual London 'Supercar Season'
Alternatively, they will start rocking up outside many Premiership football clubs as the underachieving, overplayed players seek a new way to rub supporters noses in it.
Repulsive.

You sound bitter.

That's not good for you.

And you are obviously the sort of person impressed by these I take it?
I would refer you to nearly every other comment which also are derisory about this horror.
By the way, I take it you never saw me play football? Thought not....

What made you jump to that conclusion? The fact it would help your non-argument I presume?

No, I'm not impressed by these. I would say though if underachieving footballers are overpaid to the point they're all knocking about in these, they're probably not underachieving.

And no, of course I've never seen you play football, you're just some fud on the internet to me.

And I see by the number of posts on PH a that you probably spend all of your life making such comments to people you don't know.
Thankfully, I had a fairly successful sporting career, and then a successful professional career without having to resort to becoming a professional Internet insulter.
