Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

[YoTa_BoX]

Geneva is piling on the glitz at this years 2008 motorshow. Not to be outdone by the automotive giants of this world, smaller bespoke coachbuilders and tuners are also vying for the spotlight.

Conducting what most would think as the impossible, Mansory have long been famed for taking the most prestigious brands in the industry and making them even more prestigious. Marques such as Aston Martin, Bentley and Rolls Royce have often received the Mansory treatment. However, this time the Bavarian customiser has turned its attention to the prancing horse from Maranello. Using the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano as a base is always going to give you a big advantage from the start.

In summary, Mansory have included some lightweight carbon fibre body panels, modified the interior with an exotic birds hide and more importantly tweaked the engine to make what they call the “Mansory Stallone”.

The carbon fibre modifications are mainly reserved for the downforce enhancing body kit which comprises of a newly designed nose piece (with intercooler apertures, yes this thing is forced induced!) and an integrated rear diffuser. There are also a side skirts and wheel arches but these are more aesthetic.

As for the interior, Mansory may have an industry first. The interior is coated in swathes of leather, but the leather is not from a Cow but an Ostrich. There are no interior shots as such, but from the images here we can see that Mansory must have at least plucked the Ostriches before covering the seats. We have never seen a red Ostrich either so it safe to say that the hide has been dyed.

Now for the oily bits. Although this beast appears to be all glamour, a peak under the bonnet would reveal that there is also a degree of substance to the transformation. Lurking within is the glorious 6.0L V12 which can trace its origins to the Enzo, however in this application the Mansory Stallone gains a supercharger which lifts the power output from a not unsubstantial 620hp to a fairly adequate 720hp.

100kph is achieved in 3.7 seconds (a 0.2 sec improvement) and it wont stop pulling until you are over 340kph.

[Killer]

[roche]

Never thought I'd say a Ferrari looked rice, but this one takes the cake for that. Horrible tails, kit, everything. I'll take a stock 599 plz.

[Ran]

well...it isnt horrible...Yes it is. lol

[G.C]

[NewGen33]

Beautiful car

[Logan]

It looks slow.

[NewGen33]

It looks slow.
Same engine as the Ferrari Enzo I don't think so.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:OH NO!!!!
The whole damn thing isn't functional. I think it would look great without those tails, but I'm not into exotics anyway. I never saw the point in making such expensive cars when a superior vehicle can be built for so much cheaper.

I want to **** it in the tail pipe

Yea you could say that but I think you missed my point. I dont view Ferrari's as anything close to practical, yes they're beautiful amazing cars, but I would never buy one. You really can build a superior car for much cheaper, and that's pretty much proven. People do it everyday. This car, while it would look incredible without those tails, takes it even further. A Ferrari is just a pile of parts that aren't worth the money imo, just personal taste. No need to be a **** about it because you don't agree.

But those pile of parts dont have the meaning a car like that does.

The most ridiculous group are kit car makers. To them their "car" is the greatest thing ever but it just isn't.

I went to Marenello last year and even though i didn't go inside the factory (you have to have bought one new to do that), while at the Galleria Ferrari you can really see what makes that car what it is.

Oh and then there's that racing history.

I agree, I have full respect for Ferrari and other exotic automakers, but it's just not my style. If I had that kind of cash to throw away I'd build four cars to each Ferrari I could get. They do have pretty much unparalleled racing history, but for the street it's not for me.

[Random Hero]

I'd rock the s.hit out of that and you guys know you would to.

[2.25teg]

look worse than a vette

[HachiDori]

If the tails where red...omg

[Magnus213]

I have no problem modifying my car and I plan to do it to other normally-priced cars I own in the future, but for some reason I just can't agree with modifying a Ferrari in my mind. I don't know what it is. This thing's pretty over-the-top and it's got some cool parts, but the whole thing feels a little wrong to me.

There's a very thought-out engineering process that makes a stock Ferrari balanced, and perform as intended. They're also quite sexy from the factory.

[Me86Rob]

looks like a supra and a C6 vette had buttsecks

People say this too often. When you talk about pricing and such on exotics, it's actually worth the money. The attention to detail is insane. And look at the technology these companies develop years before regular auto makers use it. Drive a Ferrari, Lamborghini, something, and that far superior cheaper car will suddenly seem like crap. From the sound these car makes, the acceleration, the feel, I hate to say it but just the beauty of the Ferrari emblem itself as you drive it. I love the underdogs don't get me wrong, but I would choose an exotic over one anyday. Plus Ferrari's are pretty damn fast around a race track.

considering your sig makes mention of lambo doors your opinion is pretty much null and void.
