Mansory Announces Full Details on BMW 7-Series Tune, Available with up to 640HP

In the beginning of March, we told you about the BMW 7-Series tune being prepared by the Swiss arm of Mansory. Today, the company came out with all the juicy details including the available performance modifications for the Bavarian automaker’s flagship saloon.

Mansory treats both the 750i and 760iL with an engine kit that consists of an optimised ECU combined with a sports air filter and a custom exhaust system that includes a set of bespoke rectangular end pipes. With this package, the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine of the 750i delivers 490HP and 720 Nm of peak torque, up from 407HP and 600Nm respectively.

The 760iL’s 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine is bumped up from 544HP and 750Nm to 640HP and 920Nm [679 lb-ft]. According to Mansory, the 0-to-100km/h (62mph) acceleration is trimmed by 0.4 seconds to than 4.2 seconds.

Exterior mods include a body kit that features a new front bumper with additional openings and LED daytime running lights, a carbon radiator grill, roof and boot lid spoilers, and a rear apron housing a diffuser. The new 22-inch polished alloy wheels wrapped high-performance tires measuring 265/35 at the front axle and 295/30 at the back complete the look.

As for the interior, Mansory’s offerings include a re-designed sports steering wheel, carbon fiber or burl wood trim for the dashboard and door panels, bespoke leather treatments and custom floor mats.

Mansory Strikes Again, this Time with BMW 7-Series F01 Tune

While we were looking into Mansory's Geneva Motor Show world premieres, the tuning house's Swiss subsidiary came out with a set of photos announcing its upcoming program for the latest BMW 7-Series.

Mansory Switzerland is keeping all details under wraps for now, so we can only tell you about the styling treatment which includes a new front bumper with massive air vents that incorporates vertical LED daytime lights and carbon fiber spoilers, and an alternative version of BMW's trademark kidney grille with horizontal instead of vertical bars also made out of carbon fiber.

At the back, there's a new bumper with a rear diffuser and horizontal quad tail pipes plus discrete boot lid and roof spoilers. The new alloy wheels complete the exterior look, while Mansory has also fiddled around with the BMW's interior.

We'll check back and update this post as soon as Mansory Switzerland comes out with full details.

Mansory Trades Four Wheels For Two With The Zapico Custom

Mansory is one of those companies that tread that fine line between tasteful and tacky. More off than not it’s the latter, though Mansory’s customised luxury and high performance vehicles have a certain pizzazz that’s rare to find in complete aftermarket customisation these days.

If you thought the German customizer was limited to tuning cars, think again. The 2011 Mansory Zapico Custom is not only a motorcycle, but a motorcycle with a difference. Developed as a special one-off for customer Thomas M. George (um, presumably not former Michigan Senator Thomas M. George), the Zapico Custom features a 160 hp, 2.0L V2 that can propel this monster from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in a quick 3.3 seconds.

With carbon fibre, custom leather and more stainless steel than Emeril’s kitchen, the Zapico Custom is a true wonder to behold. You can check out the full gallery below or leave your piece in the comments section.

Geneva 2011: Mansory's Take on the New Porsche Cayenne Turbo Comes with 690HP

Mansory put up quite a show in Geneva this week as the tuning house unveiled no less than three world premieres. Aside from the Mercedes SLS AMG Cormeum and the Ferrari 458 Italia Siracusa, that we've already told you about, the tuner's Swiss subsidiary also revealed a new program for the latest generation of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo SUV.

The tune includes an excessive aero treatment with a wide-body kit that extends the vehicle by 60 mm at the front and 80 mm at the back and also comes with numerous carbon fiber parts such as the bonnet, side skirts and rear diffuser. New daytime running lights and a set of 22-inch black alloy wheels shod in massive 295/30 tires further differentiate the SUV's looks from its factory sibling.

Under the bonnet, Mansory Switzerland upgrades the Cayenne Turbo's 4.8-liter V8 with larger turbo chargers, a custom exhaust system, reprogrammed ECU and other mods resulting to an output of 690HP and 800Nm of peak torque at 4,800 rpm for a 0 to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 300km/h (186 mph).

Mansory said buyers can also opt for a variety of interior enhancements and an electronic module for the air suspension to lower the SUV's ride height by 45mm.
