2025 Bentley Bentayga S Black Edition

Bentley has unveiled its most striking SUV ever, the Bentayga S Black Edition. It is a special version with more style and elegance, and off-road capabilities compared to the standard model.

The Bentayga S Black Edition is powered by a 4.0-L twin-turbo V8 engine with 550 hp (410 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.5 seconds wit a top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph). An electronic all-wheel steering system as well as a sports suspension designed for better grip are standard.

Drivers will be able to enjoy driving even more thanks to the new Sport driving mode, which improves steering feel, reduces body tilting and ensures a better reaction to turning the steering wheel. For the off-road environment, drivers will be able to choose Snow, Wet Grass, Dirt and Gravel, Mud and Trail and Sand modes. The torque vectoring system has also been recalibrated, and the sports exhaust system is part of the standard equipment. There is also the Bentley Dynamic Ride system with electric active chassis control.

As an option, Bentley offers the Bentayga S Black Edition with a 3.0-L TFSI V6 gasoline engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of 599 hp (447 kW). That is enough to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.3 seconds with a top speed of 254 km/h (158 mph).

Visually, this car does not differ much from the standard models, and is equipped with the Bentley Styling Specification body kit. The front fascia, side skirts, rear diffuser, and rear wing are detailed in Mandarin, Signal Yellow, Klein Blue, Pillar Box Red, Ice, Hyper Green, and Belgua.

Inside, the seats are covered in black Beluga leather with contrasting orange stitching. The same combination covers the door panels, dashboard and central console with carbon details. The Dark Chrome package is standard and includes metal accents, while buyers will be able to choose from three available sound systems, including Naim.

Bentley x Boodles Mulliner Edition Continental GTC

When a luxury car manufacturer and a jewellery company join forces, ultimate luxury is inevitable. The specially designed Bentley x Boodles Mulliner Edition Continental GTC is an example of such a car, created in collaboration between Bentley and Boodles. This unique car will be on display at the Jack Barclay Bentley showroom in London on April 11, after which it will be offered for sale.

The car’s exterior design has been retained, but it is now adorned with Porpoise Gray paint and lots of chrome details. The headlights, splitter, door sills, rear diffuser and rear spoiler are decorated in Powder pink color, which is a kind of trademark of the British jewellery company founded in 1798.

The peak of luxury is the cabin with a Be Boodles Bentley pendant made of diamonds and white gold, located on the center console. The dashboard and door panels are decorated with a combination of Piano Linen with 200-year-old Autumn Stone veneer and Powder Pink stitching. There’s also 24-karat gold on the air vents and a pair of linen leather cushions for better passenger comfort.

Under the hood is a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 engine with 650 hp (485 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all wheels.

Volkswagen faces two lawsuits over Felicity Ace sinking

Two years ago, we witnessed a fire on the transport ship Felicity Ace, which was carrying 3,965 vehicles. The fire was caused by a lithium-ion battery in one of the Porsche cars. The ship sank and all the vehicles went to the bottom of the sea, including 1,100 Porsches, 189 Bentleys, while the rest were Volkswagen, Audi and Lamborghini, including electric models. Among the cars were 15 Lamborghini Aventador cars, which Lamborghini stopped producing. Now, two lawsuits have been filed against Volkswagen.

The company Allianz and the operator of the cargo ship Mitsui OSK Lines sued Volkswagen, and the lawsuit was filed more than a year ago, but the development of the situation was stopped due to discussions about another lawsuit in the court in Brunswick, Germany. According to documents related to the original 2023 lawsuit, the two parties accuse Volkswagen Group of withholding information about the risks associated with transporting electrified cars. In addition, the lawsuit filed in the Stuttgart court alleges that VW did not provide the necessary precautions for the safe transport of the car.

In the meantime, an incomplete list of cars that were on the transport ship was published: Audi A5 Convertible (84), Audi A5 Coupe (43), Audi A5 Sportback (147), Audi E-Tron (121), Audi Q3 ( 297), Audi Q3 Sportback (144), Bentley Bentayga (77), Bentley Continental GT (38), Bentley Continental GTC (50), Bentley Flying Spur (25), Lamborghini Aventador (15), Lamborghini Huracan (20), Lamborghini Urus (50), Porsche (23 made in Zuffenhausen, 19 in Leipzig and 126 in Bratislava), Volkswagen Caddy (47), Volkswagen Golf (199), Volkswagen ID.4 (159), Volkswagen T6 (116), Ford Mustang GT (year 2015), Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0, BMW 750i (year 2007), Honda Prelude SiR (year 1996), as well as Land Rover Santana (year 1977) built in Spain under license from Land Rover and using Defender parts . When it comes to the value of the ship’s cargo, the estimated value of the destroyed cars is around $155 million.

How both lawsuits will end and whether both sides will be able to come to an agreement remains to be seen.
