Mansory’s Magic Yellow Mercedes Joins Four Other Modified Geneva Debuts High-end tuner Mansory will again exhibit its questionable taste at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, bringing five customized models to the Swiss auto show. Among those cars is the Lamborghini Aventador-based Carbonado, which has been turbocharged to a whopping 1250 hp. Other Mansory vehicles at the show will include two versions of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class including the bright-yellow Mercedes shown above, an over-the-top Bentley Continental GT, and a modified Ferrari F12 Berlinetta making 775 hp.
Carbonado
Gronos and Speranza
They say you shouldn’t mess with success, but Mansory thought it necessary to add its signature touch to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class’ classic lines. The firm’s vision resulted in two uniquely styled vehicles, including one bright yellow SUV and a custom G-Class cabrio (which happens to resemble a bloated Suzuki Sidekick convertible, even unmodified). The Mercedes SUV with its roof still intact is called the Gronos, which Mansory says derives its name from the Greek god of gods Kronos. The standard 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 of the G63 AMG has been tuned to 840 hp, up nearly 300 ponies from the stock 544 hp.

The car comes finished only in “Magic Yellow,” and sports custom bodywork, unique headlights, and 23-inch alloy wheels.
The Speranza cabrio takes a G500 Cabrio, and adds fender flare “wings” that extend the SUV’s width by 20 mm. Mansory says the stock 385-hp 5.5-liter V-8 has been bumped up to 700 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. The roofless sport ute also gets 24-inch alloy wheels, carbon fiber components, and a bespoke front grille.
Stallone

The tuner’s last Stallone was based on the Ferrari 599, which like the Berlinetta was also front-engine. Mansory began by replacing some of the F12’s exterior components with carbon fiber pieces, including a rear wing, front intake trim pieces, and rear diffuser. The biggest difference you’ll notice between the Stallone and standard F12, however, is the revised front end, which is decidedly Enzo-like. Whether those design features fit on the F12 is a matter of personal taste. The 6.0-liter V-12 has been massaged to 775 hp, up 35 horses from stock.
Sanguis

The coupe’s most notable features are its contrasting carbon fiber hood, unique bodywork, and 22-inch multi-spoke wheels. Apart from the exterior modifications, Mansory also raised output of the Bentley’s W-12 engine to 672 hp and 575 lb-ft, which the firm says is good enough for 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph.
Stay tuned for more over-the-top Mansory action from the show floor at Geneva later this week.

Carbonado

Other than that, the stealth-looking Carbonado appears mostly the same, still sporting carbon fiber body panels and forged alloy wheels with carbon fiber inlays.
