# This Bentley Bentayga Is Almost Attractive Thanks to An $80,000 Body Kit

First and foremost, the Bentley Bentayga sits atop the podium as the top SUV on the planet. It’s the most luxurious, expensive and even fastest with a top speed of 187 mph. It has 600-hp, is capable off-road and comes in an array of colors with names I can’t pronounce. It’s also ugly. When I say ugly, I don’t mean it doesn’t have attractive components, it’s just not put together well. It doesn’t flow. Turn it to the side and it’s identical to the latest-generation Audi Q7 but it just so happens to have a Bentley GT front fascia grafted onto it. Again, it has attractive qualities, it’s just a bit off to me.

[Mansory](<https://www.mansory.com/>) is a name that has a polarizing effect depending on who you ask. Custom car guys tend to enjoy what the Bavarian outfit does with otherwise mundane high-end vehicles. On the other hand, Purists feel strongly that Mansory is the worst thing that’s happened to luxury vehicles - ever. There’s no doubt about it, Mansory kits can certainly make or break a luxury vehicle.

[Mansory’s most recent creation is produced for the Bentley Bentayga](<https://www.mansory.com/en/range-cars/bentayga>) and in this instance, it may have given the stodgy SUV a bit more character. Like any Mansory package, most of the components are oversized and over-the-top but this particular kit also introduces a bit of continuity and flow into the aesthetic. Add the custom paint and [Forgiato](<https://forgiato.com/>) wheels and you have the most unique Bentayga in America.

So how much does it cost to set your bombastic Bentley apart from the rest? The appearance package alone is a cool $78,000 and that doesn’t include paint or installation. That’s more than a new Range Rover Sport!
