Mansory Vincero based on the Bugatti Veyron

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Mansory Vincero - Bugatti Veyron Revised by Mansory, is less common compared to even most other custom Bugatti Veyrons. Quite a few details about the car exist, although there appears to be as many as three models of this specific styling pack. Avoid the well-known matte-color current trend, the Mansory Vincero is pure gloss from front to back.

Mainly blacked out, but with a sprinkling of chrome highlights in the grill and a dark chrome treatment the whole length of the side of the car across the front fenders and door panels, the Vincero surely lives up to expectations. In the interior, the vehicle gets a standard Mansory two-tone black and white treatment, though the inclusion of a woven feature generates a special feel. An additional dose of naked carbon fiber across the front hood and rear engine cover, together with the rear fascia and diffuser provides the Vincero the appearance of the Sang Noir, which may in fact be the foundation for this custom vehicle. For those folks who don’t know only 15 of the Sang Noir special-edition were made! Photo gallery after the jump!

Mansory Renovatio SLR, revealed in pearl white color

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Mansory Renovatio SLRFirst of all let us remember when we saw first the Mansory Renovatio SLR in March! It was this year, in March, at the Geneva Motor Show. The tuning company unveiled the car wearing a golden paint and combined with carbon-fiber elements. Today, another version of the Mansory Renovatio SLR was unveiled, this time featuring a pearl white color combined, of course, with carbon-fiber elements.

We don’t know exactly if the golden Renovatio SLR was sold out or if this is an individual design, but one thing is for sure: the Mansory Renovatio SLR looks really special! Under the hood we find the same engine used on the “standard” SLR but modified in order to deliver 700 hp and 880 Nm of torque! As a result the Renovatio SLR is two tenths faster from zero to 100 km/h (60 mph)than the super sports car production model while the top speed was increased as well to 340 km/h or 211 mph.
