While a tad over simplistic, one could say that, the tuning industry seems to have finally caught up with the Volkswagen Group’s penchant for parts and platform sharing.
For those that do not want to wait for the production Bentley EXP 9 F SUV, German design studio Atelier Valdeig has collaborated with Armortech Motors to create a coachbuilt version of the current generation Audi Q7 offering buyers a choice of Bentley-inspired fascias and rear end styling.
The SUV is called the Tresor, which the company says is French for “treasure” and German for “safe” or “strong room”.
While neither partner makes word of Bentley for obvious reasons, they do point out that the Tresor’s exterior “marries traditional British design cues and sportiness” and that “the seats and the dashboard come from a noted English luxury car maker” – no prizes for guessing the brand…
Aside from the redesigned exterior and luxed-up interior, the Tresor will also offer upgrades to the Audi Q7-sourced petrol and diesel engine range, which will top out with the 493hp (500PS) 6.0-liter V12 TDI.
Other options will include a stretched wheelbase variant and suicide-style rear doors.
Until Atelier Valdeig and Armortech Motors drop real life photos of the Tresor, you can check out the teaser sketches in the gallery below.
