MANSORY is an aftermarket tuning company that specializes in the modification of high-end British automobiles. To date, Mansory has performed extensive modifications on vehicles such as the Bentley Continental GT, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Aston Martin Vanquish, and most recently, the Buggatti Veyron 16.4.
Because of the ultra exclusive vehicles Mansory works with, it essentially has no competitors in the marketplace.
Unlike most German tuning companies, Mansory’s main focus is not on horsepower but on aesthetics. Through the use of new aerodynamics, wheels and luxurious interior treatments Mansory transforms already exclusive vehicles into one-of-a-kind masterpieces.
The Mansory Veyron LINEA Vincerò, as Mansory has called its creation, was unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, known for its yearly exotic, luxury vehicles exhibition, showcasing an engine capable of reaching a staggering 1109 horse-power engine, an interior that exudes royalty with a combination of luxury and high-grade materials, ambient lighting system and contrasting color schemes that embellish roof lining including a shift pedals mounted on the steering wheel, again, giving viewers plain and simple, a lesson in good taste.
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is amongst the world’s fastest production cars, with a proven top speed of 407km/h, so Mansory only made modifications to the air intake and exhaust system, resulting in a slight increase in horsepower, going from 1001 to 1109. While achieving this increase of power, Mansory took special care in mantaining the Veyron’s well established safety reputation of Bugatti, that made the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 one of the safest cars for drivers and passengers in every driving situation imaginable.
Besides the aforemetioned 1109 horespower engine, this Veyron has the same specs as the Veyron 16.4 (source: Wikipedia):
| Engine | Quad-turbocharged DOHC 64-valve W16 | Engine displacement | 7993cc (488cu in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Performance | |||
| Top speed | 408.47 km/h (253.81 mph avg) | 0–100 km/h (62 mph) | 2.46 seconds |
| 0–160 km/h (99 mph) | 5.2 seconds | 0–240 km/h (149 mph) | 8.6 seconds |
| 0–320 km/h (199 mph) | 24.0 seconds | 0–400 km/h (249 mph) | 50 seconds |
| Standing quarter-mile (402 m) | 10.0 seconds at 232 km/h (144 mph) |
Having read that, saying that Mansory has built an impressive machine, that appears as though it has cheated on time and taken us straight to the year 2020 is merely an understatement. At full throttle, this beast unleashes an astounding 410+ km/h, reaching the first 100km in approximately 2.45 seconds. This means, that if you were to travel in a straight, open road, from La Romana to Santo Domingo, you would make it there in a mere 16 minutes, and from Miami to California, that is, all across the United States, in 10 hours!
Such impressive power comes with equally impressive fuel consumption, where at full throttle, it uses more than 115 L/100km (2.46 miles per galon), which would empty its 100L fuel tank in just 12 minutes, but that’s ok, 12 minutes is more than enough time to get to your destination when you are travelling at 410 km/h.

With an expected price tag of a few million dollars and very few production units, this Veyron is the kind of luxury many dream of, and another elite group of people are lucky to afford.
