New Bentley Bentayga Hybrid Coming Soon to Bentley Houston

With its seamless combination of electric power and turbocharged V6 petrol engine, the Bentayga Hybrid offers a unique spread of abilities. It’s capable of zero-emissions electric-only motoring for up to 16 miles and can be either charged overnight at home or in just 2.5 hours at a rapid charging point. With CO2 emissions of just 124g/km* (199 g/mile), it also delivers the exhilarating performance Bentley has made it’s own, with the combination of internal combustion engine and an electric motor generating huge reserves of power and typical Bentley levels of torque.

The new Bentayga Hybrid can be distinguished by its Hybrid badging to the sides and rear, chrome grille and twin quad tailpipes. The standard selection of five hide colors includes the recently launched Cricket Ball, and the standard specification veneer is Dark Fiddleback Eucalyptus. A more extensive range of options and accessories can be chosen.

Bentayga Hybrid combines Bentley’s grand touring pedigree on the open road with the serenity and refinement of EV power in urban driving. This is a compelling proposition for the ‘new luxury’ audience; all the benefits of hybrid and EV motoring without any compromises in performance, luxury or usability.

As well as the usual choice of Bentley driving modes (Sport, Bentley, Comfort and Custom) the Bentayga Hybrid owner will enjoy a choice of three different hybrid driving modes. EV mode, as the name implies, uses only electric power. With a high voltage 348V twin-string battery producing 13kWh of usable energy, the result is a compelling combination of near-silence and impressive performance. An intelligent accelerator pedal and a unique rev counter with an EV segment before zero rpm enable the driver to anticipate the precise point at which the petrol engine will seamlessly cut in.

The second mode, Hybrid Mode, is anticipated to be the choice of most customers, most of the time. This mode makes intelligent use of both petrol and electric power sources to maximize vehicle efficiency and range. Full throttle will still summon up the two combined power sources for truly exhilarating performance. A final mode, Hold, conserves the electric energy.

Bentley has ensured that the ownership experience is as smooth as the Bentayga Hybrid itself. No new driving techniques need be mastered, the interplay between modes is seamless and the smoothness and silence of the drivetrain needs to be experienced to be believed. Battery charging, cabin heating and cooling can all be controlled remotely via the MyBentley smartphone app.

All-New Bentley Bentayga V8 Design Series from Bentley Houston Announced

WITH DYNAMIC STYLING, THE V8 DESIGN SERIES IS A CONTEMPORARY AND UNIQUE BENTAYGA THAT MAKES A REAL STATEMENT.

This model makes a strong visual impact thanks to the modern take on the distinctive Bentayga aesthetic and the new and exclusive features. The refined and innovative design also ensures that each customer is enveloped in stylish and attractive surroundings.

The launch of Bentayga V8 Design Series introduces an all-new duo tone interior color palette, which is available in four themes with a Beluga main hide: Pillar Box Red, Orange, Mulliner White or Klein Blue. This duo tone accent color split can be seen around the console and dashboard lower accent areas, and transfers to the duo tone perforated hide seat centers, the Design Series badge embroidered into the upper seat, and the Deep Pile Over Mats with contrast binding.

The all-new finish for the 22” Mulliner Paragon Wheel adds a dynamic design element to the model. The seven-spoke wheels are finished in a dark, metallic Palladium grey paint, and have bright, concave machined detailing around paragon diamond shaped pockets.

Bringing the contemporary style of this model to life, the all new gloss carbon fiber diamond weave pattern features on the cabin waistrails and cabin fascias. This pattern contrasts with the Piano Black veneer finish on the console and the center fasica panel.

In addition, Blackline Specification replaces all of the exterior body brightware with black painted trim, further amplifying Bentayga’s considerable presence, and Design Series badges prominently appear on the exterior of both front doors.

As ultimate touches of luxury and style, the Breitling Clock with diamond jeweled light Mother of Pearl face and the Illuminated Treadplates contribute to the exquisite detail included in Bentayga V8 Design Series.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Tranquillity

Rolls-Royce Showcases Full Bespoke Portfolio at 2019 Geneva Motor Show

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars returned to the Geneva Motor Show and debuted its full current product portfolio for the first time on an international stage. Representing the near-infinite Bespoke possibilities at the heart of its record-breaking success in 2018, the marque will present one of an extraordinary collection of 25 Phantoms alongside the first publicly-revealed Bespoke Cullinan commission. In addition, two powerful visions of Black Badge and a highly Bespoke Dawn will be revealed, each informed by the taste patterns of a younger, more assertive breed of entrepreneur drawn to the brand.

Created for those who conceive and achieve the impossible, Tranquillity is an expression of Phantom’s standing as the rarest and most desired object in the luxury world. This Collection is strictly limited to just 25 examples worldwide and available as both Phantom and Phantom Extended Wheelbase, which discerning collectors have already purchased.

For the precious few who commission a Phantom, the realization of their personal vision represents a moment that sees them view the world from a rare place. Phantom Tranquillity is a statement piece for the visionaries who push beyond accepted limits. Named and crafted to celebrate the feeling of euphoric tranquillity one achieves within the car, this unique Phantom beautifully curates objects and inspirations from worlds beyond earthly bounds.

Within Tranquillity’s Gallery is a design inspired by the X-Ray coded aperture masks used on the British Skylark space rocket. High energy radiation passes over and through the distinctive perforated pattern, creating a coded shadow on the layers beneath. The properties of the original radiation sources were mathematically reconstructed from this shadow and rendered in highly reflective stainless steel, 24-karat gold plating and space grade aluminum.

Space exploration is further manifested with a unique first for Rolls-Royce; the incorporation of meteorite within the Volume Controller, further enhanced with a polished gold grip that matches the gold finish in the Collection Gallery, creating a distinctive accent feature. This remarkable application of authentic Muonionalusta meteorite, which fell to earth in Kiruna, Sweden in 1906, is complemented by detailed engraving of the location and date of its discovery.

Inspired by the light and dark sides of the Moon, the interior colorway of Arctic White or Selby Grey leather integrates unique veneer combinations of gloss and satin, both with an exclusive metallic effect. Black gloss runs from the fascia onto all the center consoles, while a satin finish is used for the upper glovebox and door armrests. Black gloss elements are highlighted with elegant stainless steel Pinstripes.

In both the Light and Dark variants, Bespoke Audio Speaker Frets are finished in yellow gold, complementing the additional gold elements throughout the car. These unique elements are inspired by the historic NASA ‘Voyager’ satellites that carried into space two gold records with sounds and images that portrayed the diversity of life and culture on Earth, for any intelligent extra-terrestrial life that might find them.

A unique embroidery detail on the Extended Wheelbase door panel matches the pattern on the Collection Gallery with tone-on-tone stitching for a subtle, crafted detail. A Bespoke ‘Technical’ yellow gold, vapor blasted and engraved titanium clock complement the interplanetary motif alongside an engineered titanium Spirit of Ecstasy with yellow gold accents.

For questions about ordering a Bespoke Phantom or other Rolls-Royce model, please contact Rolls-Royce Houston and our Bespoke specialist today.

P.J. Tucker's custom Rolls-Royce inspired sneakers

NBA Player Has Custom Air Jordans Made To Match His Rolls-Royce Cullinan from Rolls-Royce Houston

Brad Anderson of Carscoops can appreciate the custom Air Jordans we had created for Houston Rocket P.J. Tucker. We presented his custom kicks when he picked up his new Rolls-Royce Cullinan just in time to ring in the new year.

Original post via Carscoops December 31, 2018.

When you have so much money that you don’t blink an eye when buying a brand new Rolls-Royce, what do you do? If you’re 33-year-old Houston Rockets player P.J. Tucker, you have a pair of custom shoes made to match your latest four-wheeled acquisition.

Tucker may not be a household name to those outside of the United States, but to those who are fanatical about shoes, he’s very well known. In fact, he claims to own more than 2200 pairs of shoes, and during the 2017-2018 season alone, spent over $200,000 on sneakers. It’s hardly surprising then that he wanted a special pair of shoes to go with his Cullinan.

Thus, the crew at Dank & Co crafted a pair of custom kicks based on the Air Jordan 3s. The shoes feature white leather across the outside and include a Rolls-Royce logo on the tongue, while the inside is made from red fabric. Oh, and there is an alligator print on the outside.

Tucker’s Cullinan has the same white paint and the cabin is bathed in luscious red leather.

We have absolutely no idea how much a pair of custom Air Jordan 3s like these one costs, but to the NBAer it’s probably just loose change. After all, he’s owned a own a number of impressive exotics, including a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, a Ferrari 488 Spider, and a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
