Mansory Bentayga Speed ​​Feroza Edition

Germany-based tuner, Mansory, has introduced the Speed ​​Feroza Edition. It is the most powerful version of Bentley’s luxury Bentayga SUV, which now has 900 hp.

The car is painted in turquoise, which is no longer surprising when it comes to the colors used by the tuning company that upgrades cars from 18 different car manufacturers. The same color adorns the interior of the leather-wrapped cockpit with 3D leather embossing and carbon applications.

The car is equipped with a carbon bonnet, a new exhaust system, a repainted ECU and new brakes that hide behind a set of black 24-inch wheels.

What is certainly more interesting in the world of expensive tuning than the choice of color is what is hidden under the carbon black hood of Bentley’s luxury SUV Bentayga Speed, which in the standard edition is powered by one of the last existing W12 engines.

Mansory has made the powerful Bentayga even more powerful, so now the 6-liter biturbo W12 engine develops 900 hp (662 kW) and 922 lb-ft (1,250 Nm) of torque, which is 265 hp more than the standard model. As a reminder, the standard Bentayga has 635 hp (467 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. Reaches 62 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 201 mph (323 km / h).

The first McLaren SUV could arrive soon

There has been talk for many years about the SUV model at McLaren, and late last year a car teaser was released that could point to something like that. Months later, it turned out to be an electric off-road vehicle that will never be on sale. However, it looks like McLaren will join Ferrari, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and Lamborghini.

McLaren has been in a financial crisis for a long time, so the production of SUV models, which are becoming more and more popular, could be the solution. It is the electric off-road car that is proof that McLaren has taken this path in small steps. The electric off-road racing vehicle can provide significant insight into energy management and delivery, and given that the Artura hybrid has been delayed for a long time, this information could be valuable for SUVs in the electric future. The question remains, whether the McLaren SUV will be a hybrid or an all-electric car.

Recently, McLaren got a new director, Michael Leiters. He replaced MIke Flewitt who went to Ferrari late last year. Leiters was involved in the development of the Porsche Cayenne and Macan, so his experience could play a key role.

There is no official information from McLaren about the SUV model, but according to Autocar, the will for such a thing exists. This would bring McLaren closer to the competition by the end of the decade.

Ferrari limits annual sales of its cars

At Capital Markets Day Ferrari has announced its plans and goals when it comes to sales. According to published information, the company from Maranello will limit the annual deliveries of its models, while by 2026, 3/5 of all offers will have hybrid and purely electric powertrains, and the rest will be cars with internal combustion engines.

Earlier this year, Ferrari released photos of its first SUV, and Ferrari is calling it a “game-changer.” The Ferrari Purosangue should have its world premiere in September, and the first deliveries can be expected early next year. However, sales of the model, which will be powered by a V12 engine, will be limited to only 1/5 of the total annual Ferrari car delivery. Good job Ferrari!

When it comes to other supercars with a V12 engine, the 812 Competizione / 812 Competizione A will be limited to 10 percent of total sales. The Ferrari Icona, which will be produced in only 300 copies, will be limited to just five percent of total sales.

Whether this decision is caused by the current crisis that is shaking the world, and therefore the automotive industry, it is not known. Either way, it is certain that the price of the already limited number of expensive cars will be even higher.
