Mansory acquired Rinspeed`s Porsche tuning division late last year, but made no official announcements as to what it planned to do with it. Then again, what else does one do with a Porsche tuning company than...create tuned Porsches?
Mansory has just released the details of its first upgrade kit for the 911 since the Rinspeed purchase. The kit debuted at this year`s Geneva show and is a comprehensive tuning kit with aerodynamic, suspension and engine upgrades, though the press materials are somewhat heavy on flowery words and light on hard numbers or release dates.
Mansory`s body kit is more functional than fashionable, with subtle and purposeful upgrades. The modified front apron helps to reduce lift, while an available carbon-fiber hood cuts weight and is designed to mesh with the front bumper in a more aerodynamic fashion. The Mansory kit`s components are rim-injection molded polyurethane (PU-RIM), chosen for its resiliency. At the rear, the redesigned aprons wrap around the new four-outlet exhaust system. Subtle side skirting improves airflow along the sides of the car. The interior has been similarly upgraded, with new leather and carbon-fiber trim.
When it came to engine upgrades, the company avoided performing any "excessive open-heart surgery," and stuck with intake and exhaust modifications. A higher-flow air filter and optimized exhaust have been added.
One-piece forged Mansory five-spoke twenty-inch wheels are added, and they`re wrapped in Michelin Pilots--245/30 up front and 325/25 at the rear. Mansory`s press materials say that the car`s center of gravity has been lowered by 30mm, though it doesn`t say if this was accomplished by lowering the suspension or through other means.
