Pics Aplenty: MANSORY McLaren SLR "Renovatio" and Ferrari 599 GTB "Stallone"
Click above to more high-res pics of MANSORY's new supercars
Remember last month when we showed you a pair of supercars tuned by MANSORY at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show? Perhaps the poor lighting inside the Geneva EXPO obscured the awesomosity of these two tuner vehicles. MANSORY has corrected this by releasing a slew of high-res official images showing each car in perfect lightning so every detail is laid bare, for better or worse.
The first car is the MANSORY McLaren SLR "Renovatio", which is obviously based off of the Mercedes-Benz supercar but features many replacement carbon fiber pieces, lighter wheels and a new body kit that makes the standard car look downright dowdy by comparison. MANSORY didn't just alter the SLR's looks, but went one step further by upgrading its supercharger and intercoolers, so the 5.5L V8 is now producing a stout 700 horsepower. The interior also gets the same Midas touch as the exterior.
The second car is the MANSORY Ferrari 599 GTB "Stallone", which to Europeans may evoke images of wild stallions, but to U.S. folk sounds like an homage to Mr. Balboa. MANSORY takes the already superlative 599 and adds an F1-inspired aero body kit and a supercharger with enough engine upgrades to bump the 6.0L V12 from 620 to 720 horsepower.
Both vehicles have the grunt to fully back up their new appearance packages, but we're still not sure we'd actually want to be seen in them.

An Enzo v-12 with a SUPERCHARGER?!?!? When will the madness end?

Sure it may be madness, but the end result is underwhelming. A 100 hp increase? Are they running 3 lbs of boost? My LS2 got a 160 hp bump from 5.5lbs + exhaust and tune. Guess the Ferrari powerplant just can't handle much more power than what it was designed to handle.

I will take the 599.

I can forsee Ferrari suing them for this craptastic design. :D
The least they could have done was design a different set of wheels and body kit. Sheesh.

The 599 would be PERFECT if the CF piece on the hood was white and the rear brake duct panel was white, the tail lamps were red, the grille did not have the split and the roof scoop was gone.
The SLR would be PEFRECT if it was a dark blue color with a high gloss finish chrome accents and some thick-spoke-deep-dish chrome wheels.

Wasn't the car in Geof Darrow's 'Hard Boiled' called the Stallone? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_Boiled_%28comic%29

They've been around for a while now. Does anybody really throw money away on that crap?
money > sense

Hmm, and the SLR still looks like a phallus.

Looks like a good way to expensively ruin two nice cars.

I actually LIKE IT ALOT. The original stock SLR wasn't exactly great looking. I think this is an improvement over stock
(those of you that hate it, I wonder if it were a different color if you'd like better?)

The craftsmanship in the carbon fiber is FLAWLESS... amazing...

Not very appealing to my taste.
Yet I know someone will get one of these in hopes of getting laid...
And it will probably work.

Haha I HOPE if you had the kind of money to throw away on a car like this you'd have no problems getting laid.

should of dropped the Zonda's AMG 12 cylinder into the SLR!
then you would have a car fitting of the McLaren name. (i am jaded towards supercharged V8 supercars)

jaded towards supercharged V8 supercars? the CCXR?? how?!
lol, just realized you were probably talking about the ZR1 instead, sorry

As noted above, SLR should do better in a different color. I saw it in person in Geneva and it looked like a dollar store knock off.
