2012 Mansory Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG

(from Mansory Press Release)  MANSORY customises the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG

The company MANSORY Design & Holding GmbH once again demonstrates its great expertise in the customisation of a top-class Coupé, presenting a completely customised Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG at the Geneva Motor Show 2012.

A series-production CLS is already among the most exclusive vehicles on our streets – but it looks positively conventional beside the MANSORY wide-body version. From the upthrust-reducing body design to the powerful performance enhancement and an elaborately designed interior, the customisation specialist from Brand, near Bayreuth, Germany, has turned its attention to every aspect of the luxury body, bringing its exclusive customers' dream cars to life.

The complete modification by the MANSORY carbon-fibre experts consists of extremely light autoclave-prepreg carbon fibre and, along with the front and rear wings, includes new side sill sets and cladding. This broadens the Coupé by 50 millimetres at the front axle and a stately 80 millimetres at the rear axle. The newly designed bonnet provides an optical and aerodynamic pièce de résistance for the front-on view. The front apron, with its proprietary daytime driving lights, provides an additional accent to the overall look. At the rear, too, the company's technicians have come up with something special to polish off the CLS modification: Under the new rear apron, MANSORY installs a powerful diffuser that simultaneously increases the vehicle's downthrust in cooperation with the rear spoiler.

Maintaining optimum contact with the road are 20-inch rims with 265/30ZR20 tyres at the front and 305/25ZR20 tyres at the rear. The sporty and elegant look of the ultralight forged wheels fills out the wheel arches perfectly.

The design of the MANSORY CLS not only looks sporty; the modification also has plenty to offer under the bonnet. From the V8 unit of the Mercedes-Benz CLS (5.5l, 557 PS, 700 Nm), the MANSORY engine technicians have managed to squeeze out 640 PS / 471 kW and a maximum torque of 900 Nm at 2,000 to 4,500 crankshaft revolutions. The modifications required for this include a newly programmed control unit, as well as a sports air filter for optimised oxygen supply to the high-performance engine.

MANSORY drivers can look forward to a skilfully modified interior that easily matches the quality of the exterior look. Aluminium pedals and footrests supplement the elaborately designed full-leather upholstery, along with deluxe entry sills and floor mats with exclusive embroidery.

In conjunction with the complete modification, the MANSORY saddlers enhance the interior with a set of tailored carbon-fibre components for the dashboard and centre console. Masterful handicraft, individual styling and top quality are to be found wherever you look. The sports steering wheel, with its newly designed ergonomics, adds further highlights to the overall aesthetic.

MANSORY Design & Holding GmbH offers only its in-house developed tuning accessories. The company does not offer its own make as "complete" vehicle, neither does the company deal with such type of vehicles.
