Well, from one German company to the next, the SLR McLaren has been improved upon…aesthetically, anyway. Mansory, a German aftermarket tuning and customiser company, has released a modified and redesigned SLR McLaren that has left this author with a gaping mouth. They call it the Mansory Renovatio.
Though most of the modifications were made on the exterior of the car, there were a couple of components that were replaced for Mansory developments. This includes new high performance compressors, tailor-made intercoolers, a sports air filter, and a modified engine management system. This has made the car two tenths faster than the normal SLR in a zero to 100km/hr dash and has also upped the top speed to 340 kph.
On the outside, the Renovatio is composed of carbon fiber body components with ultra-light forged wheels and the obvious gold paint job. The wheels are one-piece turbine-wheels with five double-spokes, 9 x 20 at the front and 11.5 x 20 at the rear. This has improved the car’s acceleration, braking distance, and overall handling.
The details underneath the hood also have improvements and many exciting features, such as a super-charged 5.5 liter capacity and 626 hp V8 engine. Then there’s the interior of the car that has special leather, aluminum pedals, illuminated door tread plates, and carbon everything (well, carbon A LOT of things).
And because it’s one of my favorite cars, I’m going to rain on you with pictures of this golden beaut. Enjoy!
