Tuned Gold MANSORY Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

INFO:
World premiere at the 78th Auto Salon Geneva 2008

MANSORY Renovatio � The ultimate makeover for the Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren

Since 2004 McLaren has been producing the Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren in Woking in almost unaltered form. MANSORY, the specialist in upgrading super sports cars and luxury limousines has now presented the gull wing racer at the Auto Salon 2008 in Geneva in a new design. Not only did the bodywork get a facelift, the engine was also given modified supercharging by means of MANSORY compressor technology. Ultra-light forged wheels and a superlative automotive interior complete the all-round renewal.

Fresh design in tried and tested quality

During the development of the MANSORY Renovatio great value was attached both to individual design as well as aerodynamic efficiency. To save weight MANSORY fashioned its body components out of carbon. The production car body is also made out of this extremely light and resilient material. One component of the body kit is the front apron in dynamic sport design. It channels the airstream perfectly to the custom-designed intercoolers of the performance kit and so ensures an extra helping of cooling air. The new side skirts constitute the optical link between the front and rear wheel arch extensions. These calm the airstream between the axles and create space for the outlets of the MANSORY side pipe exhaust system. The new rear apron with integrated diffuser takes care of additional downforce and puts the final touch to the sporting lines of the styling package.

New components for impressive performance boost

The 5.5 litre V8 engine with its standard 626 hp likewise profited from the comprehensive changes. The motto of the MANSORY engineers when redesigning the engine was �evolution instead of revolution.� The leading idea was not about making major changes to the SLR�s core. Rather, existing components were swapped for modified developments by MANSORY itself. For example, use is made of new high performance compressors and tailor-made intercoolers. The finishing touches to the performance upgrade are a sports air filter and modified engine management. As a result the Renovatio is two tenths faster from zero to 100 km/h than the super sports car production model. The top speed increases to 340 kph. Following the alterations the Renovatio has 700 PS and generates 880 Nm torque on the crankshaft.

Great looks and excellent roadholding

MANSORY provides a special wheel-tyre combination in exclusive design for the requirements of the Renovatio. The one-piece turbine-wheels with five double-spokes, 9 x 20 at the front and 11.5 x 20 at the rear, are impressive thanks both to their sporting looks as well as their outstanding workmanship. The reduction of the unsprung mass due to the especially light forged wheels improves braking distance, acceleration and handling. For maximum wheel grip MANSORY uses 255/30 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres at the front and 325/25 at the rear.

Exclusive interior design without limits

MANSORY has succeeded in creating the perfect symbiosis of sporting functionality and luxurious environment. Only the very best materials have been used in the interior and provide for well-being. The leather processed by master craftsmen is especially hard-wearing and yet extraordinarily soft. This characteristic natural product with its special grain and the perfect craftsmanship of its decorative stitching convey an extravagant flair around the redesigned airbag sports steering wheel. The aluminium pedals, illuminated door tread plates and real carbon applications complete the luxurious overall impression within the Renovatio.

Tuned Silver Autodelta Alfa Romeo 159

NFO:
AUTODELTA 159 J4 2.2 C TO MAKE DYNAMIC DRIVING DEBUT AT SPA ITALIA

Just a week after the Autodelta 159 J4 2.2 C received its world première in Amsterdam, the brand new high performance sports saloon will make its public dynamic driving debut at Belgium`s legendary Spa-Francorchamps race track on the occasion of Spa Italia (28/29 June).

The new Autodelta 159 J4 2.2 C features a specially-developed supercharger system including a Rotrex C30-74 unit, new aluminium inlet manifold and bespoke intercooler, which adds up to drive the Alfa 159 saloon to power of 245 bhp and 290 Nm of torque coupled to upgrades in the area of the transmission, chassis, brakes, electronics and aerodynamics. It becomes the third member of the exclusive J-series model range, joining the Brera J5 3.2 C and Spider J6 3.2 C in our line-up.

The dramatic model is the result of an 18 month development programme that has focused on supercharging Alfa Romeos direct injection JTS engine, making Autodelta the only firm in the world to apply forced induction principles to this power unit. The overall package hones the Alfa 159 into a true high performance saloon, pushing its dynamic abilities forward in every area, but without compromising on its comfort and �touring� characteristics. Top speed is raised to 165 mph, while 0-62 mph is achieved in 6.9 seconds. Exclusive features of the 159 J4 2.2 C include 8.5x19 OZ Botticelli Ultra Light alloy wheels, height adjustable coil over dampers with bound and rebound settings, stainless steel free flow dual silencer exhaust system, mechanical limited slip differential, front, rear and side aerodynamic kit, and perforated discs and new compound pads all round. The order book is set to open on July 1st when full pricing will be announced.

Spa Italia is one of Europe�s leading extravaganzas for Italian automobile enthusiasts, and each year the event, now in its 7th edition, attracts a wealth of fabulous cars from every era of Alfa Romeo�s long history. Taking place annually at the dramatic Spa-Franchorchamps circuit, which nestles deep in the Ardennes forest in Belgium, it is the perfect setting for any high performance machine to make its dynamic driving debut. Highlights of Spa Italia include the �Concours d�Elegance� which always attracts historic masterpieces and that drivers can take their own cars out onto the challenging race track.

Autodelta firmly believes that only the most demanding of tests are good enough if the London based firm wants to retain its position as the leading global aftermarket Alfa Romeo design and tuning house, and as such our development programme for the new breed of J-series cars has seen the cars tested to the limit on leading European race tracks, including the Nürburgring, Silverstone, Donington Park and of course Spa-Francorchamps. The long time home of the Belgium�s Formula 1 Grand prix, the historic Spa-Francorchamps track, recently refurbished with a brand new pitlane complex, is a superb test of any car with sporty pretensions; and so we are delighted to show the full production version of the Autodelta 159 J4 2.2 C on the track for the first time.

Autodelta will have further models from its bespoke range in action over the two day Spa Italia event (28/29 June) including the Autodelta GT 3.7 Super Evo and two examples of the Autodelta 147 3.7 GTA AM Super. Autodelta`s Managing Director Mr Jano Djelalian and the team will be on hand to introduce the new car and explain our products and services in general.

Jano Djelalian says: "Demonstrating the J4 2.2 C at Spa-Francorchamps is a logical step for us as the Spa Italia event is expertly organised and always attracts a great many Italian car enthusiasts. This dynamic debut builds straight on from the launch of the J4 2.2 C last weekend in the Netherlands which went very well and I`m delighted with the response of both the guests at the event, and the wider response in general already. The JTS supercharged demo cars were in action non stop during the two day event and we had very receptive feedback as well as having to start taking pre-orders. I must register my thanks to our Dutch agent Sam van Lingen who organised the two day event superbly, and made it a real success as well as an enjoyable experience for all the guests.�

Tuned White Boulevard Customs Mercedes-Benz GLK Urban Whip

Tuned White Boulevard Customs Mercedes-Benz GLK Urban Whip
INFO:
Boulevard Customs: The GLK Urban Whip set heads turning

When the word went out that Mercedes was running a tuner competition centred on the new GLK luxury SUV, Boulevard identified immediately with the brief for the Urban Whip and lost no time in getting to work.

�I�ve been a Mercedes fan since childhood,� says Boulevard President Chris Bradley, �and when I reviewed the design brief for the Urban Whip I said to myself, �we can do this better than anyone��.
While it may be one of the smaller competitors in the field, Boulevard is big on ideas. Taking its inspiration from a number of Mercedes models, the company set about creating a visual interpretation of the GLK that would put it at the very top of the food chain in the urban jungle.

The most striking feature of the Urban Whip is what is doesn�t have - a roof. Although the original brief required the design to retain the structural integrity of the GLK, the aggressive look of the custom-made wide-body kit - which was developed in cooperation with RoBrady Design - made the roadster temptation difficult to resist. Boulevard submitted renderings of its roadster ideas to Mercedes-BenzUSAand approval was received in double quick time.

Working with NBS Performance, Boulevard removed the roof, shorted the windshield and added the necessary structural bracing to create a roadster with cosmetic modifications to the door tops and pillars. �It was the finishing touch to the whole design,� comments Bradley. �The Urban Whip has that extra wow factor to make it a true head-turner.� With the focus on city life, the design of the wide-body kit is sleek and futuristic.

Boulevard worked with Superior Auto Body on integrating bumpers, side skirts and fender flares to create a factory finish, while the factory grille was opened up wide and finished off with chrome mesh and accents hand-crafted by the artisans at STRUT.

The front headlamps retain their factory look, with the standard bulbs replaced by custom LED units for added performance, while smoked treatment brings distinctive style to the rear light cluster.

The overall ride height has been lowered by 64mm using a one-off set of custom lowering springs. And, when it comes to wheels and tyres, Boulevard is in no doubt that, for urban cruising, there is no substitute for chrome - and that size matters. The Urban Whip is fixed firmly to the asphalt with colossal 26� Asanti AF 150 chrome wheels with custom black accents and wrapped in 295/25 ZR26 Pirelli Scorpion rubber for a perfect ride. The stopping power is provided courtesy of a massive front and rear Brembo performance brake kit, featuring 381mm 2‑piece floating rotors and 8-pot callipers on the front and 344mm 2-piece floating rotors with 4-piston callipers on the rear.

With flagship Mercedes performance models providing the inspiration for the interior, Boulevard worked alongside Mark Kraus and John Lancaster to create a look that is highly individual, yet still distinctly Mercedes. Using a striking black and white colour theme, the design integrates both diamond-stitched and perforated leathers for a distinctive, upscale look and feel. Piano black wood grain trim works together with a custom steering wheel and shift knob to create a cockpit that is as stylish as it is outspoken, while rear passengers are cosseted in twin hand-crafted bucket seats.

No seriously urban cruiser can be complete without a seriously urban stereo. And the absence of a roof will help the GLK Urban Whip share its sound with the rest of the world. Beneath the speedster cover lurks a mighty piece of kit from JL Audio. The custom stereo system pumps out over 5,700 Watts of ear-popping power in a visually stunning installation. Eight HD amps power the ZR component speakers and subwoofers, including six new JL Audio 13TW5 flat subwoofers, two of which are displayed in the rear of the Urban Whip in a custom-made clear acrylic tube that adds emphasis to their compact dimensions and slim profile.

�The GLK was the perfect candidate for the Urban Whip idea,� concludes Bradley. �It has this incredibly powerful persona and shoulders broad enough to carry this kind of work. Working with it brought out the best in all of us.�
