Armortech and Atelier Valdeig Exhibit their British-Inspired Tresor SUV

The Tresor SUV has made its first appearance on the web.

Armortech and Atelier Valdeig have revealed their luxury-minded Tresor SUV. The Tresor (French for 'Treasure,' German for 'safe; strong room') utilizes a range of Audi-sourced engines while incorporating styling from Rolls-Royce and Bentley for a very interesting finished product. The Tresor SUV features a top-end V12 TDI engine from Audi, rated at 493hp and 737 lb-ft of torque. Other Q7-range engines will be available with a plethora of customizable options.

It runs on the same platform as the VW Touareg, Audi Q7 and the Porsche Cayenne. In terms of exterior styling, the companies claim a marriage of "traditional British design cues and sportiness." We take that to mean Bentley styling on the exterior and interior and a set of Rolls-Royce-inspired wheels. The seats and dashboard also come from a "noted English luxury car maker," meaning Bentley inspires more than just the SUV's luxury.
