The Bugatti of Motorbikes: Mansory Zapico Custom Carbon Fiber

Here at Luxist we frequently feature the outrageously modified supercars from Mansory, including everything from tricked out Bugatti Veyrons to a Pepto Bismol pink Bentley. Now the German exotic auto tuner has turned their attention to a motorcycle, and of course it's anything but by the book. The Mansory Zapico superbike is a carbon fiber monster developed in collaboration with German motorbike customizer Thomas M. George. It features a 124 cubic inch V2 engine made by America's S&S capable of 160 hp and can do 0 – 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds. Most components are custom made by the Mansory factory in the Bavarian town of Brand, and of course the leather saddle is as luxurious as the upholstery in any of Mansory's supercar creations. They haven't revealed the price but "bankrupting" probably comes close.

With the Geneva Motor Show fast approaching, Lotus has announced a new version of the Evora. Made in partnership with the typically outlandish customizer Mansory, the special Evora is meant to demonstrate what the aftermarket has to offer its customers.

Little in the way of details were offered at this early juncture, but from the pair of photos released, it's clear that Mansory has outfitted the Evora with an array of carbon fiber parts and body panels.

Moby Dick: 750hp Porsche Panamera Turbo by Edo Competition

If you're looking for a luxury sedan that can perform like a sportscar, you could do a lot worse than the Porsche Panamera Turbo. With 500 horsepower on tap, it's one of the fastest four-doors on the market. But for a company like Edo Competition, that's never enough.

Edo has made a name for itself by taking extreme performance machines like Ferraris and Lamborghinis and moving them even further into the stratosphere. Now the German tuning studio has turned its attention to the Panamera. Engine modifications boost output up by 50% to 750 horsepower, which Edo says should be good for a 0-60 sprint in under four seconds and an Autobahn-crunching top speed of 211 mph.

They've also teamed up with Mansory for a custom body kit, dropped the suspension, mounted 22-inch wheels and a sport exhaust. Since each example is built to order, buyers can choose from a range of interior options as well, including wood veneers, carbon fiber or metal trim, leather and a variety of luxe fabrics. Have a closer look in the gallery below.

Mansory's Maserati GranTurismo in Search of Wealthy Evil

by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Have you been looking for a new place to apply the word "lurid"? Mansory is here to answer the call. The self-styled "specialist for refining luxury automobiles" has had at it with the Maserati and GranTurismo S, and the black-striped redness you see above is the result. Carbon fiber does duty on spoilers and aprons in front and back, as well as the grille and trim for the new duct work.

There's are about 30 more horses under the hood, and a Mansory-tuned suspension will keep you rolling lower to the ground by 30 millimeters on Mansory-designed wheels exclusive to this car. It isn't for everyone, but there will be no doubt if it's for you: you have things like "Removed from the Garden of Eden" on your resume, one of your hobbies is pretending to be a serpent, and you have a bit of a fascination with fire.

Rolls-Royce White Ghost by Mansory

by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Over the past few years, Mansory hasn't exactly earned a reputation for subtlety, its creations as outlandish as Liberace in a house of mirrors. Its latest creation, by comparison, looks relatively tasteful.

Based on the Rolls-Royce Ghost, Mansory's White Ghost features a number of visual and performance enhancements, from the body kit and wheels to a 66-horsepower boost from the V12 engine for 629 overall. The interior is a bit gaudier than the standard Rolls, but downright tame by Mansory standards. Try not to like it too much, though: only three of this special edition will be made, each carrying a $152k premium... that's over the price of the factory-fresh Ghost itself.

Mansory Launches Carbon Fiber Furniture Line

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Luxury Cars & Autos

Mansory, the German supercar tuning company known for outrageously over-the-top creations like the Vitesse Rosé Bentley and Vincero Bugatti Veyron, is bringing its dubious talents to bear on a new line of sickeningly luxurious office furniture for true "executive living". Modeled on the kind of ridiculously expensive bespoke interiors the company creates for its aesthetically impaired clients, the first offering in the new range is a line of handmade desk chairs constructed from carbon fiber, priced at $25,000 apiece. Featuring something called a "sport-carboxylic" finish, the sybaritic seating is available with a number of leather upholstery and wood paneling options. One of the more hideous combinations couples padded gold leather with black piano lacquer inlays. You can of course have chairs made to match the interior of your Mansory vehicle.

Mansory Rolls-Royce Ghost

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

The new Rolls-Royce Ghost is a pretty impressive vehicle but over-the-top exotic auto tuner Mansory apparently felt it could benefit from a whole bunch of gold. Debuting at the Geneva Motor Show, the ritzy Rolls is designed to combine "the most precious materials with elaborate performance, individual appearance and stylish interior refinements." The car is first painted deep blue and then gold varnish is applied to the cross-beam in the new front skirt, the vertical gill between the headlights, various bits of trim and the modified radiator grill, capped by gold wheels. New stainless steel sheeting, a rear spoiler and rear skirt and a double sport exhaust system sum up the rest. Power has been boosted from the stock 570 hp all the way up to 720 hp, with torque tweaked to 1,020 Nm up from 780 Nm. That means it's only 0.5 seconds quicker to 62 mph, but the top speed now clocks in at 192 mph. Inside there's diamond quilted leather and an odd mix of carbon fiber and bamboo wood accents illuminated by a galaxy of LEDs.

Mansory Carbon Fiber Porsche Panamera

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

On the heels of our recent report about exotic auto tuners taking on the new Porsche Panamera, masters of the overstated Mansory have released details on their own version (above), kitted out in new carbon fiber aerodynamic body mods. Thankfully the design is in line with the carbon fiber Porsche Cayenne they unveiled earlier this year, and not the garish pink-hued "Vitesse Rosé" Bentey ditto. The Panamera gets a new front bumper, bonnet, side skirts and fenders, new air intakes, carbon diffuser and rear bumper housing a central, dual exit exhaust. The car sits 35mm lower to the ground on a set of 21″ alloys of which various designs are on offer. Inside you can select from a bewildering array of woods, leathers, and even more carbon fiber for the trim. The company has not yet released performance specs for the vehicle.

Mansory Cyrus Carbon Fiber Aston Martin

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

The Pepto Bismol pink Vitesse Rosé Bentley Continental GT by Mansory that we wrote about last week was a truly hideous piece of automotive madness. The exotic auto tuner rescued its reputation somewhat with the carbon fiber version of an Aston Martin it displayed at the Frankfurt Auto Show. The Cyrus as the car is called can be built from either the DB9 or DBS (James Bond's model of choice), with carbon body mods including front and rear wing extensions, side skirts, a front skirt with enlarged air intakes, and a reconfigured bonnet, plus a new rear skirt with an integrated diffuser and quadruple stainless steel exhausts. Interior upgrades include a carbon fiber dashboard and center console elements, a custom steering wheel and two-tone black and red leather upholstery.

Mansory Vitesse Rosé Bentley

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Exotic auto tuner Mansory is known for making supercars into something more extreme. We've covered their $2.5 million Bugatti Veyron "Vincero" and their carbon fiber Porsche Cayenne Turbo "Chopster," both far over the top yet rendered in dark colors so as to be a bit stealthy. Their latest creation, based on a Bentley, is considerably more gauche - the Vitesse Rosé Continental GT Speed, done up in a shade of pink only Paris Hilton or Malibu Barbie could love. A carbon fiber bonnet and rear lip and some chrome accents can't save this monstrous creation, which features an even more alarming two-tone pink and mauve leather interior. Luckily, Mansory has promised to only make three of them.

Mansory Carbon Fiber Porsche Cayenne

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Exotic auto tuner Mansory, makers of the $2.5 million Vincero Bugatti Veyron we wrote about earlier this year, have turned their attention to the Porsche Cayenne for their latest over-the-top creation. The Chopster as it's called has basically been completely rebuilt in carbon fiber with the addition of sporty chrome wedge-shaped panels on the doors. A product of Mansory's recent acquisition of Rinspeed's Porsche tuning arm, the revamped super-SUV has a wider, lower profile. Powering the beast is a 710 hp turbocharged V-8 with 665 lb.-ft. of torque and a top speed of 188 mph, while amped-up brakes are housed in massive 23″ x 11″ wheels. Inside you'll find even more carbon fiber, two-tone leather upholstery, a refrigerator, DVD player, internet-enabled laptop, head-rest monitor screens and more.

Mansory Vincero costs $1 Million... plus a Bugatti Veyron

by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Most people can find a nice ride for five figures. But companies like Bugatti and Mansory aren't out to attract most people. They're looking for that top few who are looking to spend not five figures, not six, but seven figures on their car. That's who the Bugatti Veyron was built for. But then came along Mansory to take things up a notch higher.

Trumping all the special edition Veyrons to come out of the factory in Molsheim, the Mansory Vincero upgrades with a new aerodynamic trim package, new wheels, carbon fiber everything, LED lighting, and an extra 108 horsepower. The car was unveiled at the Geneva auto salon back in March, where it was announced that only three will be made. And with the recently announced price, it's no wonder: on top of the million+ it takes to get your hands on a "stock" Veyron, the upgraded Mansory Vincero will cost you nearly a million dollars more. So much for low-key.

Bavarian exotic auto tuners Mansory, designers of the $2.5 million Vincero Bugatti Veyron we wrote about earlier, have unveiled their latest creation, a killer matte black Bentley Continental GT Speed. Mansory specializes in souped-up supercars, and the GT Speed is no exception with its 6.0L W12 boosted by 75 hp for a total of 685 hp plus an additional 111 lb-ft of torque allowing it to hit a new top speed of about 216 mph. Custom front and rear aprons form a unit with the sideskirts giving the car a more aggressive appearance and increased performance. Other upgrades include four angular chrome tailpipes, custom alloy wheels, an air suspension control unit, and two-tone black and beige quilted leather seats.

Bugatti Plans Veyron Centenaire 100th Anniv. Edition

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

The $1.5 million Bugatti Veyron may already be the most super of supercars, but it's also been the subject of countless special editions designed to up the ante even further. The ultra-exclusive models we've seen include the Pur Sang, Sang Noir and Hermes editions, as well as one-offs like the Mansory Vincero. Now reports have surfaced that Bugatti will unveil a new Veyron limited edition called the Centenaire 'Bleu' in celebration of Bugatti's 100th anniversary at this month's Geneva Motor Show. The Centenaire could produce up to 1,400 hp with a top speed around 275 mph to help the Veyron recapture the world's fastest production car title. Carbon fiber could be used to reduce weight and up the speed quotient.

The Bugatti Veyron Vincero by Mansory

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

The $1.5 million Bugatti Veyron is already the most super of supercars, but even that leaves room for improvement according to some. German-based exotic auto tuner Mansory will debut a special souped-up edition of the Veyron, dubbed the Vincero (Italian for "I will win") at the Geneva Auto Show in March. Produced in an ultra-exclusive limited edition of three for Abu Dhabi's Prestige Cars, the Mansory Vincero (above) has an incredible 1,109 hp engine. The exterior is finished in high-gloss black and grey with chrome accents on the grille, front fenders and doors, and front and rear carbon fiber panels. Inside there's two-tone black and white leather, ambient cabin lighting and custom F1-style shift paddles on the steering wheel.
