Unlike most aftermarket companies, Swiss tuner Mansory rarely releases programs unless it has plans of showing them off in major auto shows.
But you can always count on it to have a presence in Geneva, in large part because a) it’s in its own stomping grounds, and b) it’s the biggest auto show of the year.
One of the programs Mansory has prepared for Geneva is a rather over-the-top program for the Mercedes G65 AMG. We’ve already established the tuner’s proclivity to use carbon fiber, something its Gronos program for the G65 AMG has in abundance.
The newly designed bodywork was made from ultra-light carbon, including the front splitter, which features LED daytime running lights and the front fairing that lays over it. It’s also worth noting that, despite the vehicle receiving multiple layers of Magic Yellow color paint, certain parts of the G65 AMG, particularly the roof, the mirror housings and the decorative trims, were left to show the carbon fiber design of the bodywork.
You’ll also notice that the G65 AMG is a little wider, something that can be attributed to the wider wings and side skirts, as well as the stretched wheel arches, netting an increase of 20 mm (0.78 inches) in width. Finally, a new set of 23-inch ten twin-spoke wheels wrapped in high-performance Vredestein Ultrac Vorti tires.
The interior is also the picture of Mansory tuning genius, particularly the dashboard and center console, which has been redesigned with more carbon-fiber components. The plush modification in those areas is complemented by the immaculate leather upholstered on the seats with matching Magic Yellow stitching.
Finally, there’s the engine, which Mansory was able to upgrade, thanks to the addition of a newly designed exhaust system, a new manifold, and a double stainless-steel tailpipes. Put together, the tuner was able to increase the output of the G65 AMG’s 6-liter V-12 engine to 840 horsepower with an electronically limited 738 pound-feet of torque.
The Mansory Linea Vincero d'Oro is without a doubt the most extreme take on the Bugatti Veyron ever released by an aftermarket tuner. That particular car has recently been spotted doing the rounds in Beverly Hills and in that time, a small snippet of Mansory's latest Veyron creation has been scooped from their 2013 calendar.
Featured in the month of January, the car will feature a similar front grille to the Linea d'Oro as well as similar LED daytime running lights. The most significant change however will be the blue carbon fiber finish completing this unique Veyron, which is expected to be an optional extra for customers.
In saying that however, we can't imagine that more than a small handful of Mansory's new Veyron will be ordered excluding the one-off press car, as many Veyron owners would like to keep them completely stock in an effort to not destroy their value as the French supercar will inevitably become a collector's item a few decades down the road.
Although nothing has been confirmed by Mansory just yet, it's possible their new Veyron could be released at the upcoming 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March.
