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.

It'll look exactly like you imagined it would.

Horrible car for the worst people in the world.

Honestly, outside of press releases and the odd motorshow here and there, I've never actually seen anyone drive a Mansory 'styled' car.

Do they even sell?

I think the wheels look great boxedin

Bentley's offerings look too small to me and the design doesn't "fill the arches" well enough.

I saw a white one of these: http://www.mansory.com/en/range-rover-2013 in Berlin a couple of weeks ago. Far from the worst of the Mansory range though.

What, they beat Kahn to totally degrade the last modicum of good taste left in the Bentley tractor?

I like that; very fitting slogan for Mansory - "Horrible cars for the worst people in the world". biggrin

The original car was already as ugly as the south end of a north bound rottweiler - what the hell can Mansory do to it?

I hate to admit it, but I suspect you are right, it isnt going to be Human Rights Laywers, Nobel Laureates and other wealthy but decent and worthy individuals now is it.

Bit of a generalisation but I bet if you found one of these and investigated the owners business background, it would be a little bit unseemly.

Not since 2007. Car tastes must have been a little reserved back then biggrin
