Montes Excelsior
The most-emblematic model from the brand receives an update, and it comes many new features, to continue to meet the expectations of the most demanding customers.
The most notorious in this update is its new exterior design. Preserves the master lines of the previous version, but doors, tailgate, fins, bonnet and bumpers are new, as well as the optical groups, providing a more modern line, as well as sophisticated.
In the technological section, it includes assistants such as autonomous level 4 driving, front glass with augmented reality (it is able to show, for example, a line to indicate the safety distance, speed … Fully customizable). Digital matrix laser lights are also available (can show on the road things such as safety distance, for example), as well as taillights composed of LCD screens, also capable of projecting information to the ground, such as an imminent collision warning , and thus alert the cars behind.
The hydro-pneumatic suspension has also been improved, both in reliability and adjustments, being even softer.
The interior has also been completely changed, with more modern lines and better materials, as well as new personalization options: exotic materials for moldings are included, such as Carrara marble, Dioptase, ceramics, Amatanto wood, as well as new types of upholstery, such as wool or silk.
Another great change are the engines, which become all turbocharged with SCHI technology, available in 5.8 V12 with 570hp (only available with AWD), as well as a 5.1 V8 with 487hp. They are so efficient, that despite weighing the car more than 2350kg, they get really low consumption figures (8.9L / 100km in the case of the V12), as well as some really low emissions, and all this, with a delivery of torque and high power from low turns, together with a great softness, and it complies with the strict Euro 6d-temp regulation, without the need for a particle filter, thanks to the water injection, and the studied design of the injectors and combustion chamber.
The previous 8-speed automatic gearbox has been replaced by a 9-speed gearbox, developed by Montes, together with Aisin, which improves both the gearshift times (now it is done in 0.20s), greater smoothness, greater response, and of course, greater efficiency.
Prices start from $146,987 for the V8 version, equipped with rear-wheel drive, and $172,285 for the V12 version. There is no planned MRP version, but soon, a 4.0T inline 6 hybrid version is planned, as well a V16.
