Manhart is known for its distinctive exterior visual makeover that comprises a black paint job and a golden decal set. They managed to make cars of all shapes and sizes cool with the same pattern. Their latest creation involving the Bentley Bentayga is a bold one. The Bentayga is an uber-luxurious SUV that already offers a plethora of engine options and comfort and luxury features.

Mansory has already given us their outlandish creation on the Bentayga, and it is too much for the eyes! The Bentley SUV is known for its majestic and smooth bodylines. Adding "sportiness" to the package doesn't blend quite well. Manhart has strayed quite carefully with their version of the Bentayga and, we must say, that it actually looks sporty without losing the lux appeal.

The "sporty" BT800 also gets a major performance bump to go on well the looks. The "Manhart" decal set might not be everyone's cup of tea on the Bentayga, nor would the black-and-gold interior makeover. But the Manhart BT800 is clearly a desirable makeover of the Bentley Bentayga. This big bad Bentley looks to have the brawn to get the undivided attention of Lamborghini Urus, Aston Martin DBX707, and Audi RSQ8.

For the first time ever, Manhart works its "black-and-gold" formula on a Bentley Bentayga and intends to create a sportier version of the ultra-luxurious SUV with the BT800 Bentayga.

The Second Bentley In Manhart's Portfolio

Manhart has sprinkled their magic formula onto many cars from different automakers, but they have had just one Bentley offering in their portfolio. After the Manhart-spec Bentley Continental GT Supersports that launched around seven years ago, the Bentayga is their latest and only other Bentley creation.

It will be quite interesting to see a sporty shade on the uber-luxurious Bentayga. Bentley already offers a slew of customizations and optional extras from the factory. And so, Manhart has a tough task to stand up and beyond "factory-spec" Bentaygas!

Manhart Adds More Muscle To The Bentayga's W12 Engine

Manhart states that they plan to churn out 810 hp and 782 lb-ft of torque from the Bentayga. This indicates that they have used the twin-turbocharged 6.0-Liter W12 engine from the Bentayga Speed which in stock form pumps out 626 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. Manhart has managed to churn close to 200 hp more, with an in-house developed Turbo Performance kit which is complemented by a new lighter stainless steel exhaust system.

The exhaust also comes with a value control unit and two downpipe options to truly customize this bad-boy's grunt. There are no other major powertrain mods and the muscle is sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox. We can expect a considerable reduction in acceleration timings. For reference, in stock form, the Bentayga Speed does 0-62 mph in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 190 mph.

Bentley Bentayga Gets The Distinctive Manhart Exterior Makeover

Manhart's exterior design makeover for all its cars is a fine play of black and gold. And interestingly, the paint-and-decal combination looks pretty neat on all its offerings, including SUVs. The custom bodykit is very subtle in the "sporty" approach, and we dig it. It is not always that a tuner can elevate an already majestic-looking SUV's visual appeal.

Manhart has also added in its distinctive golden decals on the bodywork which, frankly, we aren't a great fan of, on the Bentayga. Bentley's SUV has a lot of majestic lines and curves which look good when not highlighted. And we think that Manhart's golden "pin-strip" style decals on the front and rear fascia dull the Bentayga's lux appeal.

The side profile is cool with the chunky decal at the bottom of the doors and the subtle highlight on the rearview mirrors and the fender vents. Elevating the coolness factor are custom 22-inch Manhart Concave One silk matte black forged wheels.

Manhart Bentayga's Interior Might Not Be Everyone's Cup Of Tea

The factory-spec Bentley Bentayga interior has everything that will spoil you with choices. We are sure that there is enough creativity and options by Bentley to keep customers of all walks, happy. Manhart's idea of an uber-luxurious Bentayga interior involves black leather, carbon fiber, and lots of gold trimmings. It looks to be a love-it or hate-it formula. Even the gear knob gets an intrinsic play of gold. It is black-and-gold on the seats as well.

The Manhart Bentayga gets a distinctive seat upholstery design. The top section of the backrest is stitched in a diamond pattern. Right from the middle of the backrest starts a thick strip of gold that flows all the way to the bottom. In between the strip and the diamond play, there is "Manhart" embroidered with black stitching onto a golden base. For some, the interior layout might seem over-the-top, while for others, it might even look uninspiring.

The Bentley Bentayga stands to be at the forefront of ultra-luxury SUVs. The gorgeous exterior design, the lavish interior layout, and the plethora of options and features make it a sea of desire. And Manhart trying to elevate this package is quite risky.

They have managed to bring about a sporty angle to the Bentayga, but the whole decal game is still on the edge of being cringy. But Manhart has managed to sway clear of an eyesore creation, and their creation would be an apt representation of a tuxedo-clad Brit doing Parkour!
