MANSORY customizes the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

Car manufacturer MANSORY Design & Holding GmbH has been producing first-grade luxury saloons and super-sports cars for over 20 years. Under the leadership of founder Kourosh Mansory, the company constantly sets standards in terms of engine performance, innovative vehicle design and exclusive interiors. Their satisfied worldwide customers pay testament to this success. Their latest creation will also capture the hearts of its future owners at supersonic speed. At the 82^nd Geneva Motor Show, the specialists from Brand, Germany, will be showing off their customization of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 super-sports car.

The series version of the Lamborghini already makes opulent use of the ultra light and high-strength material carbon fiber. And MANSORY continues this use as the main element of its bodywork components. Every single element of the MANSORY aerodynamic design is manufactured to perfect finish quality in the prepreg-autoclave process and fitted snugly into place on the vehicle.

The eye-catcher of the Aventador’s newly designed front body is the striking apron with its optimized air inlets for improved ventilation of the front coolers. In combination with the new front lip and its proprietary daytime driving lights, MANSORY not only achieves an aggressive look, but also generates additional down thrust. The front wings, as well as the bonnet, are removed and replaced with proprietary versions. The sides grow by 40 millimeters in width on the front axle and an impressive 50 millimeters on the rear axle. Newly designed side sill sets are also fitted. These steady the airflow between the axles and, thanks to built-in channels, direct additional cool air to the drive unit and the rear brake system. The diffuser integrated into the new rear apron stabilizes the rear at high speed and, in connection with the enlarged rear wing, produces contact pressure at the rear axle. The body package is completed by exchanging the roof and engine-compartment covers with carbon-fiber elements.

But it is not only through attractive design that MANSORY’s customized Aventador impresses. Thanks to an optimized engine-management system and a high-performance exhaust system, both engine power and acceleration are improved. Thanks to 754 PS / 555 kW at 8,300 rpm and 750 Nm at 6,000 rpm, the 12-cylinder accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in a breath-taking 2.8 seconds. The top speed of 355 km/h is also higher than with the basic vehicle.

As a perfect wheel-tire combination, MANSORY fits striking, ultra light forged rims with carbon-fibre inlays in the sizes 9.0 x 20 and 13.0 x 21 with tires in the sizes VA 255/30 ZR20 and HA 345/25 ZR21.

The extensive interior additions provide a perfect completion to the Lamborghini customization program. It goes without saying that only the most luxurious materials are used. The treated leather for the seats and dashboard is both particularly hardwearing and unusually soft. The natural product, with its individual grain and perfectly crafted stitching, gives a feeling of extravagance to the newly designed airbag sports steering wheel. To emphasize the interior’s sporty character even further, MANSORY installs non-slip aluminum pedals and real carbon-fiber components.

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.

Twin Ferrari 458 Italia’s at CEC Wheels

Something rarely seen in the tuning industry is a showroom people can actually visit. Visitors stop into our Los Angeles showroom to see our wheels and the cars that we’ve upgraded. Given the popularity of the Ferrari 458 recently, we knew it was sure to be a hit. That’s exactly what happened when one of these visitors saw our Ferrari featured on Team Speed, and then saw it on the showroom floor.

As a Ferrari owner himself, he knew he wanted his own Ferrari to match the one he had seen. He opted for Matte Black 3M wrap on the roof and the side skirts to his red 458 and added a Novitec rear spoiler. Our Ferrari had staggered Motegi Racing wheels but he wasn’t leaving without adding some CEC c884 Forged wheels to his upgraded Ferrari. The c884 Forged were in a custom matte black finish with a red outer ring accent, front wheels measuring 9×21” (with 255/30ZR21 Pirelli P-Zero) and rear wheels in 12×22” (with 335/25ZR22 Pirelli P-Zero).

2013 Mercedes Benz SL on CEC Wheels Photo Gallery

For nearly 60 years, Mercedes-Benz has created a standard for sports cars to come. Almost six decades after the original, the 2013, 6th edition SL has been crafted for release later this year. The fresh design of the new body style, interior and new engine creates a new interpretation of the classic roadster. The most innovative element of the new body is the Magic Sky Control roof, allowing the driver to control the transparency with one click of a button.

The 20” staggered CEC c883 provides a perfect stylistic addition to the SL550 making it as exceptional aesthetically as it is athletically. Revealed for the first time in a Chrome finish, the monoblock construction of the c883 flawlessly compliments the latest SL550.

Exceptional options for the SL550 include CEC’s c882. For a more sophisticated style, the c882 is created to compliment complex lines. Shown in Gunmetal/Machined Finish, the c882 is also available in Gloss Black/Machined finish.

Also featured on the SL550 are the soon to be released 20” staggered c884. The c884 is featured in matte black/machined finish on the SL550. Made to model the c884 Forged, the c884 provide a sense of balance between form and function with a classic design.

Stay tuned for the upcoming official release of the c884

PRINDIVILLE DESIGN UNVEILS LIMITED EDITION LAND ROVER DEFENDER

London-based bespoke coachbuilder, Prindiville Design, has unveiled a new Limited Edition Land Rover Defender, designed to celebrate the debut of the model in their Collection which counts some of today’s most sought-after supercars such as the Ferrari 458 Italia and Lamborghini Aventador.

Restricted to only 25 units worldwide, and designed to offer individuality coupled with a superior level of comfort and practicality, the Limited Edition Land Rover is based on the latest Defender 90 Hard Top model, and handassembled by a team of highly skilled engineers at Prindiville’s UK manufacturing facility close to Silverstone, in-line with the customer’s bespoke interior and exterior specification. Enhancements to the suspension, braking system, cooling, and engine are undertaken by Defender specialists, Lincolnshire-based Alive Tuning, who has become renowned in their field for their extensive experience, unrivalled quality, and attention to detail.

The Limited Edition offers a choice of four different power upgrades, which gradually increase the output of the 2.4-litre TDi powerplant from 122 to 190 bhp. Coupled with the dual-range six speed transmission, which can be further upgraded to an automatic or tiptronic gearbox, and the additions of a high flow intercooler, silicone hoses, and turbocharger, this translates into a 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100km/h) sprint of just 10 seconds, and a peak torque of 460Nm. The model is specified as standard with 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, complete with a high performance braking system thanks to Prindiville’s bespoke six-pot callipers and sport discs. Custom designed and manufactured performance springs also allow greater vehicle speed and stability.

Each of the 25 customers are invited to specify a bespoke paint scheme in either a matt or metallic finish from Prindviille’s very own palette, thereby complementing the beautifully-designed exterior which boasts a number of features exclusive to the latest Limited Edition. These are namely a rear Prindiville signature badge, a titanium high performance sports exhaust, chrome side protection runners, LED front and rear headlamps, ribbed undershield, in addition to front and rear parking sensors and cameras, a world first for the Land Rover Defender.

The full leather interior is trimmed with the finest Italian hides, and superior comfort comes courtesy of Cobra sport seats dressed with hand-stitched piping. This is echoed in the matching leather steering wheel, alcantara driver and passenger carpets, and bespoke centre console storage unit, all built and tailored according to the owner’s colour selection. Each of the Limited Edition Defenders by Prindiville equally receives a dashboard-mounted numbered aluminium plaque commemorating the series in the coachbuilder’s prestigious collection.

The application of internal sound proofing significantly reduces road and engine noise, allowing occupants to enjoy the unsurpassed driving experience as well as the in-car entertainment and communication system. This comes as standard with a five-inch built-in LCD television interface providing access to wireless Internet, a DVD player, satellite navigation, 360- degree external vision, surround sound from four loudspeakers, as well as a connection to any mobile handset and MP3 device via Bluetooth.

Commenting on the launch of the new Limited Edition Land Rover Defender, Alex Prindiville, Founder and Chief Designer of Prindiville Design, explains: “The Limited Edition Land Rover Defender is a truly unique proposition in that it offers a more refined, quiet, and comfortable environment comparable to that of high-end 4×4s. This is an uncompromised solution for either urban city driving or long-distance journeys. The significant interest which we have enjoyed to date will no doubt pave the way for further Land Rover or Range Rover customisations of a similar nature.”

The Limited Edition Land Rover Defender by Prindiville Design is available to order now at a cost of £52,000 or US$81,500 (excluding import taxes and shipping).
