AMG G 63 MANSORY GRONOS Facelift – Luxury Off-Roader

With the premiere of the GRONOS Facelift at the Geneva Autosalon 2016, MANSORY presents a new version of its successful refinement programme for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

With the premiere of the GRONOS Facelift at the Geneva Autosalon 2016, MANSORY presents a new version of its successful refinement programme for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Based on the AMG G 63 the MANSORY GRONOS Facelift has been given new carbon aerodynamic parts, stiff enough to meet all the demands on the road and off-road. A powerful performance enhancement to an impressive 840 hp, distinctive alloy wheels 22 inches XXL format, as well as masterfully complex hand-applied leather interior complete the luxury offroader.

The striking main feature of the elaborately manufactured carbon body reconstruction is the significantly wider fenders. Thanks to these extensions and side skirts the G- model expands by 40 millimetres at the edges. Additionally, the front and rear have been revised by the carbon specialists at MANSORY. So, a newly designed off-road front bumper with underride protection replaces the series bumper. The rear bumper is also replaced by a customised carbon bumper. As a rule of thumb, MANSORY manufactures all of its body components with carbon. The company processes the ultra light material itself in the in-house autoclave located in Brand (not far from Bayreuth) and thus always ensures high quality standards for material and workmanship. No other company in the market is as closely linked to the use of carbon fibre as MANSORY. These specialists manufacture and process this ultra- light, extremely strong material taken from the world of motorsport in their own in- house autoclaves, which means they don’t have to rely on suppliers. This gives them complete freedom in the scope, fit and design of components.

New headlights are the core of the MANSORY Light elements design, which give the G model its totally unique appearance. In addition to the beautiful design of the front lights are the clever solutions, such as the additional indicator lights. These are now recessed under the spotlights illuminating through nine pinhead sized openings. For protection against stone chips and dirt there are four additional lights mounted on the roof of the vehicle which illuminate the coming terrain with extra strong luminosity.

In keeping with the strengthened visual appearance, MANSORY also turns the screws in the power category. To this end, the AMG 8 cylinder twin turbo has been reworked with genuine racing components installed. The turbochargers, sports airfilter, ECU and many other parts now meet the high requirements of the company owner, Kourosh Mansory. Together with the newly designed exhaust system, from the manifold to the stainless steel double end pipes that become exposed at the front of the rear wheels, outstanding performance data is achieved. Instead of 536 hp (400 kW), the GRONOS Facelift proudly achieves an impressive 840 hp (618 kW), while the maximum torque rises to an electronically limited 1.150 Nm.

Striking 23 inch MANSORY alloy wheels ensure excellent contact with the road. These also improve handling and considerably sharpen the look of the car. The charcoal-grey mono-block cast wheel with “SPIDER” designation comes equipped with tyres sized 305/35R23, guaranteeing great grip. As a alternative MANSORY offers more wheel designs like the monobloc-rim M8 in 22 an 23inch with its rotating, self adjusting hub cover.

The continuation of the G-models individualisation can be found in the interior. The dashboard and the entire centre console area have both been completely re- designed. The in-house interior studio has completely re-fitted the interior with carbon fibre components and lots of leather. Once more, the team has shown that MANSORY only uses the best, flawless leather, the highest quality Alcantara and of course only perfectly-produced carbon fibre.

Mansory Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe – 0-62 mph in 3.2s

Only six Black Edition units are planned and one of them will be showcased at IAA in Frankfurt next week

Mansory released its latest tuning package for the Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe and have managed to take the already ridiculously powerful coupe and beef it up even more.

Mansory released an upgrade program for the high-performance coupe from Daimler several months ago bringing the total power to 900 PS (662 kW) and 1,300 Nm (960 lb-ft) and now they have bumped these output numbers further to a whopping 1,000 PS (735 kW) and a limited 1,400 Nm (1,034 lb-ft) of torque.

Thanks to the extra punch, the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint time has decreased from 3.3 seconds of the previous version to only 3.2 seconds, prior to hitting an electronically-governed 186 mph (300 km/h). This makes it 0.7s quicker than the stock S63 Coupe 4MATIC which is limited to 155 mph (250 km/h).

Being a Mansory, it’s rather surprising the body kit is not that ostentatious as the added carbon fiber bits and pieces don’t make it look that opulent compared to previous tuning jobs. The most significant changes include a vented hood, beefier fenders, extended side skirts and a fixed rear wing. They also replaced the stock wheels with a new 22-inch one-piece SPIDER set wrapped in Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 255/30 ZR22 front and 295/25 ZR 22 rear tires.

Only six Black Edition units are planned and one of them will be showcased at IAA in Frankfurt next week.

MANSORY refining program limits fine-tuning of the series chassis for the sedan whereas for the S-63 coupé, no stone is left unturned. Extensive modifications transform the series design into a muscular athletic package. The redesigned front with its LED day driving lights and the powerful cooling air inlets ensures an awe-inspiring appearance. The new lightweight hood with integrated NACA nozzles complete the MANSORY air control system optimised for the supply of fresh air to the front motor. The new carbon fender at the front and the seamlessly integrated spacers on rear fenders widen the sides by 50 millimetres and give the S-Coupé its distinctive and dynamic appearance.

Additionally, perfect harmony is maintained with the new side skirts as well as the carbon housing of the side mirrors. The roof spoiler and rear lip made of carbon fibre as well as the diffuser style designed rear bumper, complete the sporty look. But not only do the MANSORY components look good through the in-house autoclave manufacturing from the carbon material, they are also extremely durable and especially light. No other company in the market is as closely linked to the use of carbon fibre as MANSORY. These specialists manufacture and process this ultra-light, extremely strong material taken from the world of motorsport in their own in-house autoclaves, which means they don’t have to rely on suppliers. This gives them complete freedom in the scope, fit and design of components. The MANSORY sports exhaust for the DIAMOND EDITION is responsible for a throaty and imposing sound. The rear silencer, which is made from stainless steel with its angular twin tailpipes, perfectly integrates itself into the newly designed rear section.

But MANSORY is much more than just a powerful sound. Even the performance potential of the eight-cylinder biturbo is utilised by the engine developers at MANSORY. MANSORY has completely revised the aggregate of the S 63 AMG and installed genuine high-performance components with the M1000 performance Kit: With this Power-Upgrade, connecting rods, big end bearings, crankshaft, bearing bushings, turbocharger, suction and compressor system, as well as many other parts replace the serial parts. Together with the newly conceived pipe fan manifolds this results in superb performance values. Instead of 576 hp (430 kW) the heavily modified S Class now achieves an impressive 985 hp (735 kW) while the maximum torque climbs to an electronically limited 1,400 Nm at 1,500 – 3,500 rpm. So when fired up the MANSORY DIAMOND EDITION rockets to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and only stops at an electronically regulated 300 km/h. The rim program is impressive in both its scale and its extent. Whether stylishly sporty or luxuriously refined- MANSORY offers various wheel designs and sizes. The latest development is the one-piece 22 inch Multispoke alloy wheel. As for perfect tyres, MANSORY recommends ULTRAC SESSANTA tyres from Vredestein in size 255/30/ZR22 on the front axle and 295/25/ZR22 on the rear axle. Totally in keeping with the Mercedes traditional brand which in the interior places value on comfort, elegance but also sportiness, MANSORY offers exclusive interior applications: Therefore aluminium pedals as well as the newly designed steering wheel give a sporty accent. The set of foot mats, which are framed in leather with embroidered MANSORY emblem, as well as the illuminated door sill trims, underline the elegant effect. A highlight of the interior refinement is the elaborately hand-shirred and expertly stitched seats. On request MANSORY will individualise the complete interior in their in-house saddlery with leather, carbon, wood or other exclusive materials.

Mercedes G63 / G65 AMG Mansory Gronos Unveiled Ahead of Geneva

Instead of the standard 544 hp the G63 AMG GRONOS offers up 840 hp, while the max torque is up to an electronically-limited 1000 Nm

MANSORY has today unveiled their latest cration for the new Mercedes G 63 AMG and G 65 AMG SUV’s to be on display at the Geneva Motor Show starting tomorrow. Mastering both the 8 and 12 cylindar engines like the Greek god Cronos did with his 12 Titans, Mansory dubbed the new kit the Gronos.

The Mansory Gronos has been completely reworked, genuine racing components were installed in the the eight-cylinder bi-turbo engine of the AMG along with engine pistons, connecting rods, rod bearings, crankshaft, crank, the cylinder head and many other parts that now meet the high demands of Kourosh Mansory. Together with the newly designed exhaust system from the manifold right up to the double stainless steel tailpipes, which poke out before the rear wheels, resulting in superior performance characteristics. Instead of developing 544 hp (400 kW) the GRONOS reaches an impressive 840 hp (618 kW), while the maximum torque is raised to an electronically-limited 1000 Nm. An increase in performance for the 12 cylinder G 65 AMG is already in the experimental stage.

The GRONOS wears completely new bodywork designed from ultra-light carbon, its stiffness handles all the demands of terrain, road and track. On the front spoiler with the LED daytime running lights and the front fairing that lays over it, the material with the characteristic grain on the styling fins in visible carbon fibre meets the light of day. Even the lining of the headlights displays material typical for MANSORY.

The main headlights are also the centrepiece of the new MANSORY Lightelements design, which give the GRONOS a completely self-contained look. In addition to the elegant design of the lights this also includes clever solutions like the hidden indicators. These no longer squat clumsily on the fenders, but are now embedded in the nine pinhead-sized recesses underneath the headlights.

As on the entire vehicle multiple layers of paint in Magic Yellow colour cover the bonnet, while still sometimes allowing a glimpse of the extravagant use of carbon fibre. The roof, the mirror housings and the decorative trims on the sides of the GRONOS can shine in their pure carbon design even without additional colour.

The new width, among others, is responsible for the self-assured appearance of GRONOS. Thanks to the wider wings and the side skirts the G model has grown by 20 mm in width. The wheel arches which have been stretched to the side are filled by forged wheels, which celebrate their world premier in the GRONOS. The rims with the ten twin spokes measure 23 inches, which are coated in ultra-high-performance 305/30/23 Vredestein Ultrac Vorti tyres. At the back the rear spoiler in a new design and of course the spare wheel cover made of carbon fibre round off the transformation of the GRONOS.

The continuation of these can be found in the interior. Both the dashboard as well as the entire area of the centre console has been completely re-designed. The in-house upholstery has, in collaboration with the design department, implemented a carbon design with coloured elements, which extends the concept of the exterior into the interior. The team has once again shown that at MANSORY only the best pristine leather of the highest grade, error-free fine woods, and of course, only perfectly produced carbon fibre will be worked with.

This is the only way to a complete transformation, which is worthy of the MANSORY GRONOS name.
MANSORY Design & Holding GmbH exclusively offers their own specially developed modification accessories. It does not trade in complete vehicles and also does not offer these for sale.

Mansory Mercedes SLR Renovatio

Mansory SLR Renovatio previously seen covered in a gold finish is now revealed in Carbon Fiber

It’s been quite a while since we’ve reported on news from the Romanian tuning house Mansory, but today, the tuner has posted new photos of their SLR Renovatio, this time covered in Carbon Fiber.  As such, we couldn’t help but bring the photos to you.  You may remember seeing the Mansory SLR Renovatio in glorious gold and then again in a less ostentatious white paint scheme.  But this new carbon fiber and silver two-tone SLR color scheme may very well be our favorite.

If the modifications are the same as past the Mansory Renovatio vehicles, changes likely include new high performance compressors and tailor-made intercoolers as well as a sports air filter and modified engine management system.

As a result of the updates, the Renovatio rendition of the SLR is two tenths faster from zero to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) than the standard production model, while the top speed increases to 340 kph. Following the alterations, the Renovatio SLR boasts 700 PS and generates 880 Nm torque on the pavement.

Mercedes C-Class Coupe with Wide Body Kit by Mansory

The tuners at Mansory are know for unrestrained Mercedes-Benz Makeovers, so what can we make of their subdued C-Class Coupe

The maniacal tuners at Mansory are know for their unrestrained Mercedes-Benz Makeover, like there outrageously eccentric and 631-hp Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG back in March or there SLS AMG that took on the look of a Ferrari 599.

There latest project however has thrown us a curve ball with a subdued makeover of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe.  Don’t get me wrong, I like what Mansory’s done this time around.  Because really, could you imagine a C250 in a full Carbon Fiber suit?

For the C-Class Coupe, Mansory added an updated front bumper with large air intakes filled with metal grilles, LED lights and just above that, a blacked out Mercedes-Benz emblem.  Maintaining a bit of what Mansory is known for is the carbon-fiber hood that ads a nice contrast to the bright white finish.

The rear is also given a touch of carbon on the trunk spoiler and again on surrounding the large exhaust pipes.

On the inside, a sport steering wheel mounted and a range of carbon-fiber goodies, like paddles.  The limited carbon fiber treatment continues inside with sports steering wheel and a few lightweight composite accent pieces. Black leather is found on seating surfaces and steering wheel, while white stitching provides some contrast.

The Wide Body package is pure show however, without any engine modifications, making it ideal for the  C180, C200, C250 or C350. Pricing has yet to be announced.  Looking for what Mansory can do for your C63 AMG, stay tuned.

Mansory Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG in Geneva

Mansory tweaked the AMG twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8, remapping the ECU & adding a sports air filter upping HP to 632 HP and 664 lb-ft torque

German tuner Mansory is not known for their subtle touches, but instead for their wild adaptations of some of the world’s finest vehicles.  Their latest unveiling of the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG at the Geneva Motor Show only provided more evidence to their wild designs.

Covered in unpainted carbon fiber, the CLS63 has been given a wide body kit which expands the front and rear wings by 50mm and 80 mm and includes new side sill and cladding.  There is also a new hood, front and rear aprons and rear diffuser, all rendered in carbon fiber. To add a little pop to all that carbon, Mansory has fitted 20-inch ultralight forged rims wrapped with 265/30ZR20 tires in front and 305/25ZR20s in the rear.

Powering the Mercedes CLS AMG, Mansory tweaked the AMG twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8, remapping the ECU and adding a sports air filter. The result is a bump in output to 632 horsepower and in torque to 664 pound-feet.

In order to keep the driver happy, Mansory also reworked the interior of the CLS in leather and, a Mansory standard, carbon fiber, adding aluminum pedals and custom embroidered floor mats as an extra touch.

Mansory Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gets Carbon Makeover for Geneva

Tuesday marks the start of the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and Swiss Tuner Mansory is offering a Carbon SLS AMG

Tuesday marks the start of the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, and it wouldn’t be right to cover the show without highlighting Swiss Tuner extraordinaire Mansory’s work on the SLS AMG.  While at first glance the styling is more reminiscent of a Ferrari 599 than a Merc, we can assure you that the car in the photos is indeed the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. The custom carbon Cormeum Mercedes SLS AMG will be limited to a production of a mere 15 cars, and it will offer drivers 600 HP with a future possibility of 800 HP.

The Mansory Cormeum leaves few reminders of the Mercedes SLS AMG. The sports car manufactured in Affalterbach is only the basis for the latest development of the automobile manufacturer Mansory Design & Holding GmbH situated in Brand near Bayreuth. 660 hp and 90 kg less weight are only two unique selling points of this exceptional automobile which can only be obtained in a limited edition of 15 cars. At first glance, the striking design created by its owner and head designer Kourosh Mansory can easily be discerned. Also the name was picked personally by Kourosh Mansory: An aria was already the source of his inspiration for the refined Bugatti Veyron (Vincerò) and this time this is the aria Vide Cor meum.

In order to meet the increased requirements of the sports car when it comes to light weight and torsional stiffness, Kourosh Mansory’s team optimises almost the entire car body and also exchanges the roof and the wing doors with ultra-light own developments. A Mansory front skirt replaces the serial bumper and due to its well-engineered shape it reduces the uplifting forces at the front axle. Larger air inlets in connection with a new LED light unit provide the two-seater with an even more dynamic face.

Additionally, the new front skirt supplies the enlarged cooler with more fresh air and subsequently propels the air out of the new bonnet. Mansory also replaces the front and rear mudguards with broader newly designed light-weight parts. Therefore, the Cormeum extends by 66 millimetres at the front axle and impressive 84 millimetres at the rear axle. Mansory side skirts make the two-seater look even lower and longer and perfectly enhance the rims. The rear has also been significantly redesigned by the aerodynamic specialists. The apron has been exchanged and a race diffuser renders additional downforce. A rear spoiler with carbon flaps completes the aerodynamic overall package.

The extended wheel houses of the Mansory Cormeum are filled with exclusive forged wheels with central locking. They measure 9×20 inches with 265/30er tyres at the front and 11×21 inches with 295/25er tyres at the rear axle. The tyres are provided by Mansory’s partner Michelin. Due to new springs and dampers, the Cormeum’ s centre of gravity is 20 mm lower than the basic model and therefore additionally emphasises the exclusive rims.

The core part of the engine modification is the adjustment of high-performance compressors. Also a sports air filter and a sports exhaust system made of stainless steel are fitted. These components are adjusted to each other with the help of a new map for engine electronics. With a top performance of 660 hp / 485 kW and a maximum torque of 4,850 r.p.m., the Mansory engine exactly meets the wishes of its ambitious motor sports clientele. Another performance increase up to 800 hp is already tested.

As usual, Mansory turns the interior into a highly functional control centre with unsurpassable quality and innovative design. Only most exquisite materials are used for the interior design and therefore render a high level of comfort. The leather which is processed with masterly skill is very endurable and still extraordinarily soft. The characteristic natural product with its special grain and the masterly perfected decorative stitches render an extravagant impression around the newly designed centre console. Another highlight is the newly developed full size airbag sports steering wheel. The aluminium pedals and the real carbon applications complete the luxurious overall impression of the Cormeum.
