Mansory are a German company specialising in the up-rating and
individualisation of 'noble' British automobiles - especially the Bentley
Continental GT, Rolls Royce Phantom and
now, Aston Martins. They do not actually sell complete cars but modify customers cars to their
own desired specification.
Their first attempt at an Aston is this aggressive looking DB9
first shown at the Frankfurt IAA, September 2005. From what I can tell you from
the press release, here are some of the modifications
-
Unique front spoiler with larger cooling intakes for the engine
and brakes
-
Side skirts and a new real valance
-
Mansory trademark double stacked exhaust tips
-
the addition of a small rear boot lid spoiler
-
New alloy vents on the bonnet
-
Three piece alloy wheels - not shown on these press pictures
-
Butterfly doors, a concept only available on this prototype
-
Interior in light maple wood, carbonfibre and alcantara
-
A claimed 500bhp engine capable of delivering a top speed
of 205mph
This particular example is I believe a concept to demonstrate the
ability of the firm. The butterfly doors are a unique additional modification
that Mansory are not planning to offer to customers. Their website is
