Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Stallone, another of Mansory's new creations

Recently we saw Mansory getting its hands on a German-British car, and the Italians were not going to be outdone. And what an Italian. Tuning the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is a noble task that should be within the reach of few, only those who know how to measure up when dealing with a beast like this.

But the Mansory philosophy doesn’t care about names or origins; it wants to put luxury, exotic materials and aesthetic/aerodynamic tweaks first above all else, and this time it was not going to be any different.

On the outside, the carbon fibre aerodynamic kit covering the bodywork catches the eye, giving it a pointed front -F1 essence, isn’t it?- that ends in two enlarged air intakes, which the installed intercooler will be very grateful for. But aerodynamic appendages and small side skirts are also present, further lowering its drag coefficient, finishing the job at the rear with a small spoiler that gives the rear axle more grip at high speeds. The rear will also draw attention for another detail: the original diffuser has been replaced by a larger one that houses, in its centre, a single but large exhaust pipe, a design similar to that of the Bugatti Veyron.

Let’s get inside. We move from the white/carbon grey of the exterior to a world of white and red leather with the Stallone surname embroidered on the headrest. Likewise, aluminium also finds its way into some parts of the interior -we don’t know which ones-.

But let’s get to the action. Key in the ignition; press the start/stop button and let the roar of the 6-litre V12 flood our ears. And no, it is not the same as always; it is from a new silencer that lets more power breathe. Specifically 720 horsepower, 100 more than standard, achieved thanks to the engine’s supercharging, which will not only launch us up to 340 km/h, but will also make us feel brutal acceleration with its 92 Nm of peak torque 92 additional Nm of peak torque that allow the 0-100 km/h sprint to be 2 tenths faster; this last figure perhaps a little above what one would expect.

Even so, enough to punish our kidneys for a while and take corners glued to the asphalt thanks to the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres (the same ones Mansory’s SLR also wore) in sizes 255/30 at the front and 325/30 at the rear, mounted on new five-spoke double-spoke wheels -similar or identical to those of the SLR as well-. All coupled to a new suspension system that lowers its centre of gravity by 30mm. A true corner-devouring machine.
