Mansory Bentley Continental 2007
January 1, 2007
The wild popularity of Bentley’s Continental GT coupe and Continental Flying Spur sedan have made them nearly ubiquitous in certain parts of the country. Owners who would like to set their cars apart with subtle custom design—and a serious performance upgrade—have only to visit a firm like Mansory. The German tuner employs a modified electronic control unit that increases horsepower to a healthy 630 and bumps torque to 553 ft lbs. According to Mansory, acceleration to 60 mph improves fractionally to 4.5 seconds. The company also offers a comprehensive body kit that includes a front spoiler with integrated fog lamps, a rear apron with squared-off stainless steel exhaust tips, and an integrated trunk-mounted spoiler. Customers may specify 20-inch or 22-inch wheels, which can be color-matched or chromed. Interior options include carbon fiber trim, Napa leather, and Alcantara. The modifications are enough to ensure an increased level of individuality.
