MANSORY Presents Le MANSORY

The “Le MANSORY” is limited to three units worldwide, that’s three too many if you ask me. It’s built to celebrate the company’s 30^th anniversary and the Le-Mans-winning Ford GT40 from the Sixties.

All of them are finished in a special colour called Bleurion Race. MANSORY give them a complete vehicle conversion with a fully carbon fibre body. The original headlights are replaced with LED units, along with fender extensions, a rear spoiler, 21-inch forged wheels and poking out the back are three large exhaust tips.

It’s not just a tonne of body kit added on. It gets a power increase from 651bhp with 550lb-ft to 700bhp with 620lb-ft, from the same 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine which is fitted next to the standard seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The power difference gives it a top speed of 220mph, opposed to 216mph.

The design certainly stands out, although I can’t say I’m a fan…It looks like it’s been designed in Need for Speed or it’s the sort of car you’ll find in Grand Theft Auto. I don’t know about you, but I prefer the original Ford GT. The price hasn’t been released yet, but it certainly won’t be cheap.
