Mansory Takes on the Maserati GranTurismo Coupe

For the man who has everything except taste, there is Mansory. The Bavarian automobile tuner has now turned their attention to the Maserati GranTurismo coupe and its more powerful 'S' brethren.

The Mansory GT and GTS features a new front spoiler, radiator grille, bonnet, deeper door sills, rear spoiler, exhaust inlay, rear apron and rear diffuser. All of these add-ons are carbon fibre and made in-house by Mansory.

Mansory has also tweaked the engine output by fitting the GT and GTS models with a new ECU, air filter and sports exhaust which increase performance by 30 hp and torque by 40 Nm on each model (435HP / 5000 Nm on the GT and 470HP / 530 Nm on the GTS).

he Italian coupe now rolls on 255/30 R 20 tires at the front and 305/30 R 21 tires at the back. These are painted to match the body color.

The interior is also customized (of course) with new seat fabrics, aluminium pedals and a supposedly sportier-looking steering wheel.

For styling sadomasochists, Mansory also has all sorts of packages for cars built by Mercedes-Benz, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ford, Bugatti and Aston Martin.

For Sale: Unique Bugatti Veyron Vincero by Mansory

With so much money going around in Dubai, even a Bugatti Veyron seems passé these days. Having said that, it's not at all surprising that you can find cars in Dubai that you've never heard about like this Mansory-prepped Veyron called Bugatti Vincero, which is up for sale by Prestige Cars. There's no official information on the customized Veyron other than that, according to Prestige Cars, only three examples have been built.

From the pictures we see that the Veyron-based Vincero features an awesome paint job complemented by a nice set of black alloy wheels and plenty of carbon fiber parts. The interior has also been overhauled - though in a less tasty way. Prestige Cars has not said how much it's asking for the Vincero but we gather that our readers Christmas presents combined wouldn't even do the job.

2008 Le Mansory Bentley Continental GT

Funny how a different mixture of colors can totally screw up a good design. If you follow the jump you’ll see that apart from the “alpine-white” version of the 2008 Le Mansory Bentley Continental GT featured in the above picture, the German tuning and design shop also offers the British luxury coupe in a “bumblebee” themed color choice which just makes you wanna puke honey. So unless you’re one of those people who think that Carrot Top looks cool, we’d advise you to go for the ‘alpine-white’ version. -Continued after the jump

Whatever color you choose though, if you're seriously interested (and rich), better hurry up as the 2008 Le Mansory Bentley Continental GT, which pays homage to the 24h Le Mans race, will be built in a limited quantity of 24 sets. Wide-bodykit aside, the supped up Bentley coupe also gets 22-inch alloy wheels in 265/35/22 high performance profile tires up front and 305/30/22 tires at the rear-end.

Inside, Mansory equips the Continental GT with carbonfibre trim inserts, sport steering wheel in combination Leather/Carbon, illuminated sill plates in stainless steel with a lighted LE MANSORY Logo, foot deposit pedals, brake- and restpedal in stainless steel high polished punched and floor mats with LE MANSORY logo stick with leather border.

Under the hood, Mansory’s electronic engineering package helps the 6-liter Twin-Turbocharged W12 engine’s performance grow up to 641bhp (650PS or 478 kW) at 6100rpm and peak torque to 780 Nm (575-lb/ft) at 1.600 rpm. The British coupe now accelerates from 0 - 100km/h in 4.6 seconds (0 - 60mph/h 4.4 seconds) and goes on to a top speed of 205 mph or 330 km/h.

Along with engine enhancements, the German tuner has revised the braking system which gets massive BREMBO 412/38 rotor discs with 6 piston aluminium fixed calipers in front and disc dimensions 405/22 with 4 piston calibers in the rear.
