Even the using of 3-piece handcrafted 6Sporz² ultralight forged wheels is changing the appearance of the rare supercar crucial.

With forged and weight optimized centers the wheels weights are similar to the oem wheels and are not effecting the car´s performance negatively.

This package pushes the performance up to charming 715 hp and 665 nm.

The luxury tuner installed a hydraulic liftable suspension to avoid expensive damages at the car´s body.

2012 Mansory Audi R8 Spyder

2012 Mansory Audi R8 Spyder

Refining sports cars is more than just a business for MANSORY. Love for detail, the particular and the unique is an incentive for exceptional reconstructions. The company’s latest stroke of genius impressively proves that once again. The MANSORY interpretation of the Audi R8 Spyder with its exclusive and extensive refining programme does not let just the hearts of convertible fans beat faster.

In particular, the car body kit clearly demonstrates that the desire for visual refinement is the focus at MANSORY. Apart from a multitude of new design elements made of carbon such as the new front grill and the lamella bonnets, specific interventions on front, side and rear ensure extra aerodynamics. The front spoiler attachment therefore reduces the buoyancy of the Spyder, which decisively improves handling and agility. Furthermore, the side skirts calm the air flow between both axes. A rear spoiler also provides more contact pressure. The MANSORY technicians could restrict themselves to a small wing profile from which the car body design has significantly benefited. Since the combination with a new rear apron and the perfectly integrated rear diffuser made a sufficient grip available. The MANSORY aerodynamics kit displays its strengths on main roads with curvy sections and generates pure driving pleasure.

Extra agility and handling create room for more power. For the V10 5.2 FSI-engine MANSORY brings its Know-How into play. By installing a sport air filter and a sport exhaust system, an improvement of performance results in 552 HP / 406 kW with 800 rpm and an increased torque of 550 Nm with 6500 rpm

An additional technical highlight in the refining programme offered is the distinctive MANSORY alloy wheel. It is particularly light due to the production in forging technology. The unsprung masses are thereby reduced, which improves noticeably both handling and acceleration as well as braking response. The recommended wheel/tyre combination has the size 8.5Jx20 inches with tyre dimensions 245/30ZR20 at the front. At the rear, 11.0Jx20 sized rims with tyre size 305/25ZR20 are used. The wheel/tyre combination is properly set into the scene by suspension springs for the lower suspension setting of the sports car.

MANSORY customers also get offered something in the interior as well. As a complement to the existing interior design offered by our manufacturer, MANSORY offers a extensive programme. That ranges from personalised doormats to perfectly worked leather upholstery with MANSORY couture and carbon applications. Illuminated door entry strips and pedals and footrests made of aluminium are also in the extensive list of possible interior refinement.

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.
