“IN THE FIRST INSTANCE, THE EYE IS DRAWN TO THE STRIKING
MANSORY BODYWORK MODIFICATIONS: A NEWLY DESIGNED
FRONT SPOILER WITH DISCREET SPOILER LIP GIVES THE FRONT A
SIGNIFICANTLY MORE SPORTY APPEARANCE...”
Mansory has long been
known has the specialist
for refining luxury automobiles.
Now, the company
from Brand in Bavaria has added an
additional traditional brand to their tuning
portfolio. The stylish and sporty
conversion of the Maserati
GranTurismo is once again proof of the
fact that Mansory has excellent knowhow
when it comes to customising
Italian premium sports cars. Besides,
the star, Emily, Flying B, leaping race
horse, Bugatti oval and Aston wings,
Mansory products now also adorn
sports cars with Neptune’s trident.
In the first instance, the eye is
drawn to the striking Mansory bodywork
modifications: a newly designed
front spoiler with discreet spoiler lip
gives the front a significantly more
sporty appearance, and the carbon
fibre radiator grille highlights the
famous Maserati trident in the centre
of the grille. Additional air inlets and
outlets enable the new light-construction
bonnet to optimally regulate the
temperature in the V8 engine compartment.
The GranTurismo seems much
closer to the tarmac thanks to the
drawn-down deep door-sills. The carbon
fibre spoiler lip at the back, the carbon
inlay for the integrated exhaust pipes in
the rear apron and a diffuser complete
the sporty look. All add-on parts are
made from carbon fibre and are manufactured
by Mansory using autoclave
prepreg processing.
To ensure extra focus to the sporty
add-on parts, Mansory uses progressive
sport suspension in the front and rear
axles, which lower the vehicle's centre
of gravity by around 30 millimetres.
Contact to the tarmac is maintained by
255/30 R 20 front tyres and 305/30
R 21 tyres at the back. Mansory is the
first manufacturer worldwide to market
forged wheels exclusively for Maserati
GranTurismo models. On request of the
customer, these wheels are sprayed in
the colour of the vehicle and decorated
with black accents.
The Maserati GranTurismo and
GranTurismo S also gain power under
the bonnet, thanks to Mansory. A performance-
optimised ECU, an air filter
with increased air throughput and a
sports exhaust system with two doublesuction
tail pipes enhance the performance
of the V8 aggregates by 30 HP
each (series: GT 405 HP / GTS 440
HP). At the same time, the torque is
increased by around 40 Nm compared
to the series models (GT 460 Nm at
4750 / GTS 490 Nm at 4750).
The interior features Mansory’s own
brand of upholstery. The finest materials
have been processed in traditional topquality
craftsmanship to add that individual
touch to the inside of the Mansory
GranTurismo. The leather used by
Mansory for the interior is hard-wearing
yet exceptionally soft. The chequered
stitch in the ornamental seams on the
inside makes for elegance as well as
sportiness. Wherever you look: expert
handcraft, individual design and top
quality. The aluminium pedals and new
ergonomically designed sporty steering
wheel are additional visual highlights.
