During this year's Geneva Auto Show, the German company MANSORY revealed some of their latest tuning kits for some of the most sought after cars including the Lamborghini Aventador, the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 and the McLaren MP4-12C. However, their take on the second generation Bentley Continental GT rather stole the spotlight. The vehicle has been made wider and more aggressive, carbon fiber elements have been used on the body and the power has been increased considerably compared to the base model.
The MANSORY Bentley Continental GT comes with a tuned-up engine which will be able to produce 672 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 575 lb-ft of torque at 1700 rpm, resulting in a top speed of 200 mph and a 0-60 acceleration in just 4.5 seconds. The increase in power has also resulted in a special wheel-tire combination and a set of exclusive ultra-light rims with ten double spokes which improve handling, acceleration and braking.
MANSORY have also widened the Bentley Continental GT by 50 and 60 millimeters at the front and rear axle respectively. A new carbon fiber apron has been mounted at the back which delivers additional downthrust and provides enough space for the new exhaust system.
The front and rear bumpers have been redesigned and enhanced with extra air intakes and the front bumper has been enriched with a subtle carbon fiber wing that matches the rear apron and carbon fiber side mirrors perfectly. Custom made daytime driving lights replace the original ones and the bonnet has received some air intakes as well. Due to the widening of the car, the wheel arches are now more prominent and the new side skirts blend perfectly with them. Overall the entire body looks more aggressive now, but MANSORY managed to do so in style, without overdoing it.
On the interior the MANSORY Bentley Continental GT offers a high level of luxury, featuring a combination of black and white leather treated by master craftsmen, perfect stitching, aluminium pedals and unique floor mats with custom embroidery. High grade materials have been used to enrich the interior and LE MANSORY logos are stamped on some of the wood panels, reminding everyone that the MANSORY Bentley Continental GT is a limited edition.
MANSORY has not yet revealed any information regarding the price of the customization package, but keep in mind that the MANSORY Bentley Continental GT is a limited edition and only 12 models will be sold.
LE MANSORY II –
MANSORY customises the Bentley Continental GT as a luxury widebody with a high-quality interior.
MANSORY Design & Holding GmbH, the renowned specialist for the modification of super-sports cars and luxury bodies, is presenting its expressive customisation of the latest Bentley Continental GT at the 82nd Geneva Motor Show. The car's series model is already one of the most exclusive that money can buy. But MANSORY's deluxe manufactory has taken this a step further and created a top-level customisation of the second generation of the British Gran-Turismo.
With the Bentley Continental GT, as with all previous vehicles, MANSORY has placed great emphasis on perfectly tailored parts while maintaining a sporty, individual design. Matched to one another exactly, the details make this wide-body model a genuine eye-catcher. A newly designed front apron, with proprietary daytime driving lights and an extra-light carbon-fibre bonnet, give the LE MANSORY II a significantly heftier look. The carbon-fibre front wings and rear widening components considerably reinforce this impression. In combination with the newly designed side sill sets, they widen the Coupé by 50 millimetres at the front axle and 60 millimetres at the rear axle. The new rear apron delivers additional downthrust and creates space for the exhaust pipes of the thunderous exhaust system.
Besides excellent sound, the MANSORY technicians also place special emphasis on rich performance improvements. The combination of a sports exhaust system, sports air filter and optimised engine performance graph boosts the power to 672 PS / 494 kW at 6,000 rpm. The torque is also raised to a strapping 780 Nm at 1,700 rpm. The modified 12-cylinder reduces the time to go from zero to 100 km/h to just 4.5 seconds and increases the top speed to 322 km/h.
For the increased demands of the performance-enhanced Bentley, MANSORY offers a special wheel-tyre combination in an exclusive design. The one-part 10 x 22 wheel with 10 double spokes impresses both through its exclusive look and through its outstanding build quality. The reduction of the unsprung masses thanks to the ultra light forged wheels improves both braking distance and acceleration and handling. For optimum grip, MANSORY uses tyres of the size 295/25.
MANSORY achieves the perfect symbiosis of sports functionality and luxurious ambience. The finest materials are used in the interior, giving occupants a feeling of comfort. The leather is treated by master craftsmen and is both especially hardwearing and extraordinarily soft. The characteristic natural product, with its special grain and perfectly crafted stitching, gives a feeling of extravagance to the newly designed airbag sports steering wheel. The aluminium pedals, the door entry sills and the real carbon-fibre elements complete the luxury feel of the LE MANSORY II.
MANSORY Design & Holding GmbH offers only its in-house developed tuning accessories. The company does not offer its own make as "complete" vehicle, neither does the company deal with such type of vehicles.
