WORLD PREMIERE

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 82ndGeneva 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.

PRESS RELEASE

WORLD PREMIERE

MANSORY customises the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG

The company MANSORY Design & Holding GmbH once again demonstrates its great expertise in the customisation of a top-class Coupé, presenting a completely customised Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG at the Geneva Motor Show 2012.

A series-production CLS is already among the most exclusive vehicles on our streets – but it looks positively conventional beside the MANSORY wide-body version. From the upthrust-reducing body design to the powerful performance enhancement and an elaborately designed interior, the customisation specialist from Brand, near Bayreuth, Germany, has turned its attention to every aspect of the luxury body, bringing its exclusive customers’ dream cars to life.

The complete modification by the MANSORY carbon-fibre experts consists of extremely light autoclave-prepreg carbon fibre and, along with the front and rear wings, includes new side sill sets and cladding. This broadens the Coupé by 50 millimetres at the front axle and a stately 80 millimetres at the rear axle. The newly designed bonnet provides an optical and aerodynamic pièce de résistance for the front-on view. The front apron, with its proprietary daytime driving lights, provides an additional accent to the overall look. At the rear, too, the company’s technicians have come up with something special to polish off the CLS modification: Under the new rear apron, MANSORY installs a powerful diffuser that simultaneously increases the vehicle’s downthrust in cooperation with the rear spoiler.

Maintaining optimum contact with the road are 20-inch rims with 265/30ZR20 tyres at the front and 305/25ZR20 tyres at the rear. The sporty and elegant look of the ultralight forged wheels fills out the wheel arches perfectly.

The design of the MANSORY CLS not only looks sporty; the modification also has plenty to offer under the bonnet. From the V8 unit of the Mercedes-Benz CLS (5.5l, 557 PS, 700 Nm), the MANSORY engine technicians have managed to squeeze out 640 PS / 471 kW and a maximum torque of 900 Nm at 2,000 to 4,500 crankshaft revolutions. The modifications required for this include a newly programmed control unit, as well as a sports air filter for optimised oxygen supply to the high-performance engine.

MANSORY drivers can look forward to a skilfully modified interior that easily matches the quality of the exterior look. Aluminium pedals and footrests supplement the elaborately designed full-leather upholstery, along with deluxe entry sills and floor mats with exclusive embroidery. In conjunction with the complete modification, the MANSORY saddlers enhance the interior with a set of tailored carbon-fibre components for the dashboard and centre console. Masterful handicraft, individual styling and top quality are to be found wherever you look. The sports steering wheel, with its newly designed ergonomics, adds further highlights to the overall aesthetic.

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.

TEAM SAHLEN'S

Morning session was quite damp, 2 other team's DPs went off and tore their noses up pretty good,,,it wasn't until the last 10 minutes that it dried up enough to go to slicks, Wayne, in the #42, was able to post the 3rd best time in the last session. Qualifying was the first "dry" track of the weekend. #42 & #43 qualified 10th. & 11th respectively. Race is supposed to be clear and sunny on Saturday.
