What makes this Bentley Flying Spur different from other tuner Bentleys? The fact it’s a Mansory.
Looking very tamed for Mansory’s caliber, this British brute conceals a 887 HP, revised, twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 engine, capable of producing an electronically limited 1.100 Nm (811 lb-ft) torque figure. So, it seems that the British brute got a little beefed-up thanks to a very German treatment.
Mind you, Mansory wanted to retain the Flying Spur’s classic British character, compromising raw power in favor of a more luxurious approach. Now, 887 horses is still a lot, but it could’ve been worse, especially as the tuner considered the stock car “almost underpowered”; but then again, compared to Mansoy’s standards, even a Veyron is underpowered.
So, instead of pushing the limousine’s grunt to biblical proportions, the German tuner kept itself busy by creating a two-tone paintjob with a subtle coachline, a subtle carbon fiber body-kit (together with an extra-light carbon bonnet) and a pristine interior.
The whole cabin was perfected with a more luxurious ambiance, using only the finest materials. It even has hand-crafted upholstery (keeping up with Bentley’s tradition) which Mansory describes as “tremendously soft” – which is a must, considering that the car rolls on 22-inch rims and has its “center of gravity” lowered by a good 30 mm thanks to a modified air suspension module.
