With a Bentley you can usually be chauffeured. But if you want to be more sporty on the road with the luxury coupe, you now have the opportunity.

The Mansory company in Essen is currently showing what a Bentley luxury coupé looks like after being treated by a tuner. At the tuning fair Essen Motor Show, which has been running since Friday, the company is exhibiting the "Le Mansory". It is a black and orange painted Continental GT with eye-catching bodywork and 22-inch rims.

Proximity to racing

The two-color paintwork, front spoiler, side skirts, fender attachments as well as rear apron and wing are intended to bring the noble car closer to racing. This is what the company has in mind with the name: The word "Le Mansory" refers to the legendary endurance race at Le Mans in France.

In terms of its performance data, the car does not have to shy away from comparison with racing models: interventions in the engine electronics, a sports exhaust system with sports catalysts and new air filters bring the 6.0-liter W12 unit to 478 kW / 650 hp and elicit torque from it of 780 Newton meters. This means that the "Le Mansory" should reach a maximum of 330 km / h - more is not possible because of the air resistance.
