Mansory Pulls A Gold Finger On Rolls Royce Cullinan

Image
The German tuner has tweaked the SUV’s 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 to 610 hp. The forged carbon fiber has been inlaid with real flakes of gold. An interior in black leather with gold accents completes the upgrades. Mansory has just created its craziest Rolls-Royce Cullinan to date. The finished product is called the Lineo D’Oro and was built for the tuner’s official showroom in Dubai. So, what makes it special? First is the name. In 2010, Mansory released a one-off Bugatti Veyron dubbed the Lineo D’Oro. That car was clad in exposed carbon fiber bodywork with chrome accents and 14 years after its launch, remains as identifiable as ever. This one-off Cullinan follows a similar recipe and achieves similarly outlandish results.

End Of An Era: Last Diesel Volvo Ever Rolls Off The Line

Image
After 45 years of production and millions of sales, Volvo has officially stopped making diesel-powered vehicles. The last diesel Volvo to ever be produced, an XC90 SUV, will be displayed at the company museum in Gothenburg. The Dieselgate scandal and rising popularity of EVs prompted Volvo to focus on electrification. It aims to be an all-electric car company with net-zero emissions by 2040. After 45 years, and millions of sales, Volvo has ended its relationship with diesel. The company announced that it would cease production of the powertrain type last year at Climate Week NYC, and this month, it has made good on its promise. In February, the last diesel-powered Volvo V60 rolled off the line in Ghent, Belgium. This month, the final XC90 with a diesel engine — and, by extension, the last Volvo with a diesel engine — left the factory in Torslanda, Sweden.
