    Mansory Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Renovatio 2009

    This is what MANSORY thinks a Merecedes-Benz McLaren SLR be should like. The modification includes replacing existing components for modified developments by MANSORY. Two examples include new high performance compressors and tailor-made intercoolers. There is also a sports air filter and modified engine management system.


    The result is that the Renovatio is two tenths faster from zero to 100 km/h than the normal production version. The top speed increases to 340 kph. The Renovatio generates 880 Nm torque and to save weight, the MANSORY body components are made out of carbon. This is inline with the production car, which has a body already made out of this extremely light materials.


    The awesome wheels seen on the Renovatio are one-piece turbine-wheels with five double-spokes, 9 x 20 at the front and 11.5 x 20 at the rear. MANSORY claim that the reduction in weight, thanks to the especially light forged wheels, improves the Renovatio’s braking distance, acceleration and handling. The car uses 255/30 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres at the front and 325/25 at the rear.


    The interior completes the overall look with special leather and special interior features, such as aluminium pedals, illuminated door tread plates and real carbon applications. If nothing else, it certainly is a way for SLR drivers who were staring to feel a bit ignored, or maybe overshadowed by the new roadster version, to get more people to notice them!
    ---- Specifications ----

    Engine: 5.5 liter V8
    Aspiration: Supercharger
    Torque: 649 lb-ft
    HP: 690 hp
    HP/Liter: 125.5 hp per liter

    EDIT: There are grammatical errors in the press release. , though I did get it from a thirdparty.

    I'm not a big fan of the normal SLR's styling, except for the tailights, so I thinks thisis an extremly flashy, admittedly, improvement.

    I think the only good thing of the SLR is the engine probably.

    I am afraid they do have customers.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    I know it's a matter of tastes but I really fail to see what's nice about the modifications, revolting is much more like it IMO.

    You shouldn't be this harsh on the visually impaired.

    Belongs in the 'WTF' thread.

    But as the Ferrari salesman told me after someone ordered a nasty 612 Sessanta, 'there are no taste police here'.
