Bentley
Continental GT Speed Convertible by Mansory
Mansory
has done it again, this time modifying the Bentley Continental GT Convertible
for the Frankfurt Motor Show where it's currently being exhibited.
Known
for their in-your-face tuning kits, Mansory has applied its controversial
recipe on the fast cabrio from Crewe which as you can see now wears a striking
orange paint combined with a comprehensive carbon fiber treatment for the new
hood, bumpers, side skirts, A pillars, rear diffuser and rear wings as well as
for the vents.
It
now rides on a set of 22-inch wheels wrapped around in Vredestein ULTRAC VORTI
R tires measuring 295/30 ZR22 which have been matched with a lowered suspension
bringing the car closer to the road by 30 mm.
Stepping
inside the cabin, it has a similar orange theme with hand-crafted leather
upholstery, more wood trim and some black accents on the door panel and the
seat’s center.
Lurking
underneath the carbon-clad hood is the same W12 6.0-liter twin-turbo engine but
it no longer produces 635 PS and 820 Nm of torque as
Mansory's engineers have managed to squeeze an amazing 1,001 PS available at 6,000 rpm and 1,200 Nm from 2,100 rpm.
Thanks
to the extra power, the Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible now runs the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 3.9 seconds whereas the sandard car does
it in 4.4 seconds. Top speed has also increased a little bit from 327
km/h to 330 km/h, not too bad for a car that weighs no less than
2,495 kg .
