Mansory Stallone makes a man out of Ferrari F12

Wed, 22 May 2013

The Mansory Stallone you see above isn't the first such transmogrification of a Prancing Horse. This one is based on the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, but the first honor, as far as we can tell, went to the Stallone based on the 599 GTB Fiorano. The F12 version was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show this year, but we missed out, and we were sure you wouldn't want to miss it.

As with its predecessor, this one gets a total makeover, from the new front clip and hood to the side skirts, new rear end, rear diffuser and rear wing. There is additional muscle for the 6.0-liter V12, too – a tweaked ECU and sports exhaust with a stainless steel muffler getting matters up from 740 horsepower to 775, and torque from 509 pound-feet to 535. Moving things forward is a set of bespoke, staggered, lightweight aluminum wheels, 21 inches up front, 22 in the back.

The showstopper is inside, where a red and black leather treatment and redesigned steering wheel will make the cabin a very intense place to be. Check out the press release below for the minutiae, and the high-res gallery above for more angles.

MANSORY STALLONE
Exclusive powerhouse based on the Ferrari F12

The MANSORY company has already made a name for itself all around the world, when it comes to the refining of super sports cars. Whether it's a Bugatti Veyron or a Bentley Continental - the luxury cars have even more sportiness and comfort breathed into them. Now, the specialist from Brand in Bavaria, Germany, has taken the Ferrari F12 and proven again with the STALLONE conversion that the company knows how to refine Italian super sports cars.

The refinement program for the Ferrari F12 is performed especially in light carbon bodywork. There also is a powerful engine performance increase, as well as light-alloy rims manufactured specifically for the car. An interior dressed in the finest leather rounds off the program and meets the automotive wishes of the exclusive clientele.

The MANSORY STALLONE has become a feast for the eyes due to the high-quality body parts. The engineers and designers have delved very deeply into the matter, which explains the consequent use of carbon fibre. So for example, the front was completely reworked. Part of the expressive front is a newly designed bonnet as well as a downforce-generating front spoiler with special air intakes, which seamlessly merges into the wing sections. With the broadening MANSORY has given the Ferrari F12 a more masculine appearance. It also fits the side skirts, which in addition calms down the air flow between the axles. The newly designed rear end, with a discreet rear wing and the integrated diffuser ensures not only a perfectly shaped end, it also stabilizes the rear axle and provides for the necessary addition of downforce.

MANSORY has given special attention to the performance optimisation, which provides the car from Maranello even more handling and acceleration in all performance classes. The MANSORY technicians are responsible for the newly developed engine components. The power kit consists of a modified ECU together with a sports exhaust system. This increases the performance of the 6.0 litre twelve-cylinder engine from 740 to 775 hp (570kW). The torque lies at an additional 35 Nm (Series: 690 Nm). The stainless steel sports muffler with its impressive sound underlines the sporty appearance of the MANSORY STALLONE.

The newly developed light-alloy rims represent a perfect finish. They are not only elegantly designed, but also fulfil their purpose from the sporting and technical point of view. In order to take the performance of the STALLONE into account, the company developed especially light forged wheels in 21 (front axle) or 22 (rear axle) sizes. The use of ultra-light aluminium alloys and the resulting reduction of the unsprung mass, has significantly improved the acceleration, the braking distance, and the handling. High-performance 255/30/21 front and 355/25/22 rear tyres are fitted.

The finest materials, finished to highest precision of handiwork, characterise the interior of the MANSORY STALLONE. The leather MANSORY used for the interior is particularly durable yet still extraordinarily soft. The unique graining of the exclusive leather in combination with the stylish stitching and the visible carbon fibre applications convey an air of both elegance and sportiness in the interior. Masterly craftsmanship, individual design and the highest quality wherever the eye can see. The aluminium pedals, the illuminated door sill trim and the newly ergonomically-designed sport steering wheel provide more optical highlights.
