To date, Mansory has performed extensive modifications on vehicles such as the Bentley Continental GT, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Aston Martin Vanquish. What made the name Mansory known in the tuning world, however, was their decision to modify a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Unveiled at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show the matte-black Phantom was nick-named the Conquistador, which was beautiful and masculine in every way like most of their modifications. Mansory recently however decided touch on their feminine side by revealing this matte-pink Bentley Continental GT Speed called the “Vitesse Rosé” which in english translates to “Rose Speed”.

The new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is making its world premiere at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt on 15 September 2009.

The supercar boasts lightweight engineering and superior handling dynamics. At the same time, the SLS delivers everyday utility and safety that typifies Mercedes-Benz. The technology package includes an aluminum spaceframe body with the classic gullwing doors; an AMG 6.3-liter, front-mid V8 engine with a top power of 571hp, and dry sump lubrication; seven-speed dual-clutch in a transaxle configuration; a sports chassis with aluminum double-wishbone suspension; and a kerb weight of 3560 lb. The weight distribution between the front and rear axles (47:53%) and its low center of gravity emphasize the concept’s nature. The gullwing accelerates from 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds and has a top speed of 197mph (electronically limited). The fuel consumption of 21.4mpg (combined, Imperial) is best-in-class.
