Mansory – Learn from the Swiss
- 29 Comment
It's not a surprise with quality and designs like the one above that Mansory is one of Germany's top tuners of Porsche cars. They have a broad range of capabilities that stretch from the subtle to a step above insane.
Mansory recently acquired Rinspeed's Porsche tuning division. They have continued the tradition of Rinspeed quality and are still offering amazing customization programs for every Porsche in the current lineup. Here's part of their corporate statement:
Traditionally MANSORY stands for sporty driving pleasure, exclusive design and progressive engineering. In line to this philosophy are also the customization programs of the MANSORY (Switzerland) AG for the Porsche models 997 Carrera and Turbo, 987 Boxster, 987 Cayman, 955 and 957 Cayenne. Our experienced team develops and produces high-end-refining in all disciplines of individual automotive engineering.
Probably one of Mansory's wickedest creations to date is the Chopster. It's based on the Cayenne Turbo S. Here are some of the highlights:
- Carbon "as far as the eye can see"
- Lowered roof line
- 710 hp turbo engine with an optimized off-gas stream
- Updated wheels, brakes and running gear
- Interior design "without any limits"
In addition to the Cayenne kits they seem to be most recognized for, Mansory also offers a number of kits for other Porsche models. Like their watches, the Swiss know how to apply exacting standards and precision to just about anything.

i'd say that's a little excessive on the carbon fiber. sure wouldn't want to get in a wreck in that

Now thats a Cayenne. Oh man. full carbon fiber with the orange, and with how low that baby sites. I'm not usually a fan of the suv's but the cayenne just looks awsome when it is reworked. The CF version basically looks like a big, mean, a$$ kicking hatchback. to say the least. if i had the money to just drop, i'd buy one
