|
• Complete vehicle conversion

• Special finish matt black with colour accents in “chrome oxite green”
• All aerodynamic body parts in visible carbon fibre
• Full leather interior in “chrome oxite green”
• Power increase to 640 PS and 890 Nm
• Performance data: Vmax 330 km/h and 0-100 km/h in 3.8s
The refinement of super sports cars and luxury limousines is more than just a business for MANSORY. The love for detail, for the special and especially for the unique are always an incentive for extraordinary developments.
The latest creation of the MANSORY company proves this once again impressively. The MANSORY interpretation of the current Bentley Continental GT Cabriolet V8 will not only make the hearts of die-hard Bentley fans beat faster.

The MANSORY brand is associated like no other with carbon, the favourite material of Formula 1 and space travel. Unlike other tuners, MANSORY manufactures all the carbon components used on the vehicle itself in its own autoclaves and does not rely on external suppliers or partners. This requires a great deal of know-how, which the engineers and designers have gathered over many years of experience and perfected to the highest degree.
Targeted interventions on the bonnet, the front, side skirts and rear have resulted in a measurable improvement in aerodynamics. And the matt black paintwork alternating with the richly incorporated design elements in visible carbon fibre emphasise the numerous MANSORY conversion measures on the exterior and add up to an impressive and elegant overall appearance of the car.
And since performance also benefits greatly from the improved downforce values of these aerodynamic changes, this plus in agility and handling also creates room for a significantly increased engine output.
This is where the refinement specialist MANSORY brings its entire know-how in the field of performance enhancement of high-performance units into play. In addition to a modified ECU unit for the engine control unit, the MANSORY R&D department has also fitted the V8 twin turbo with a high-performance exhaust system, thus noticeably enhancing the acceleration and elasticity of the Bentley Continental GT Cabriolet thanks to its power unit which has now been increased to 640 hp (471 KW) and 890 Nm. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is thus completed in short 3.8s.
Technically and visually, the wheel and tyre combination has also been perfectly matched to the impressive performance plus and the refined bodywork. The “BY5” forged rims in the dimension 10x22 inch on the front axle and 12x22 inch on the rear axle guarantee maximum load capacity and stability with minimum unsprung masses. On the car shown on the images the “F23” multispoke forged wheels - which are also available for the Bentley Continental GT Cabriolet - are alternatively mounted on one side of the vehicle with identical dimensions. For maximum grip both rim types are covered by ultra-high-performance tyres in the dimensions 275/35 (front) and 315/30 millimetres (rear).
Of course, the interior has also been completely relined with “green chrome-oxite” leather by MANSORY's in-house saddlery and elaborately decorated with a special diamond quilting. Seats, fittings and other interior components were almost lavishly wrapped in this leather, often supplemented with carbon applications and selectively upgraded. This applies, for example, to the sports steering wheel, the gear lever for the eight-speed automatic transmission and the centre console.

Further information about this vehicle and all MANSORY refinement programs can be found on the website: www.mansory.com
MANSORY – more than tradition, more than racing.
Premium British cars and their special flair have always been a passion of owner and the man who gave his name to the company - Kourosh Mansory. This enthusiasm resulted in him spending several years in England and also led to a personal commitment to automotive values such as tradition, hand crafting and sophisticated technology. So right from the founding of the company in 1989, special attention was paid to the brands Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Aston Martin. Nowadays, MANSORY devote the same attention to detail to individualising models from the brands Porsche, Lotus, Maserati, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, McLaren, Lamborghini and Ferrari, and they have established themselves as one of the largest, most highly regarded car individualisation companies in the world.
In the middle of 2001, MANSORY relocated their head office from the Bavarian city of Munich to Brand in the Fichtelgebirge Mountains. By taking over the tuning business area of the Swiss company Rinspeed AG, and setting up MANSORY Switzerland AG in November 2008, MANSORY expanded their product portfolio to include a range of accessories for Porsche cars. Refinement of the brands Range-Rover, BMW and Porsche will continue to be marketed under the brand MANSORY Switzerland. The Mannheim company AEV-Automotive GmbH has been part of the group since 2009. The exclusive interior design specialist supplies leading automobile and caravan manufacturers.
Manufacturing at the highest technical level, combined with outstanding workmanship and the finest materials represent the quality standard of the MANSORY company. The basis of the MANSORY technology programme consists of harmoniously designed aerodynamic programmes, ultra-light aluminium wheel rims and powerful increases in engine power output. High quality accessories and stylish interior design complete the range.
MANSORY now has a team of more than 250 employees and can fulfil nearly every automotive desire of its exclusive clientele. The company does this in Germany and worldwide through its selected distribution partners.
