Mansory Linea Vincerò
German car tuner, Mansory, decided to tune up the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. What was born was the Vincerò, meaning 'I will win' in Italian. The front part gets a comprehensive face-lift including modified wings, a shorter hood and a striking front apron. The LED daytime running lights integrated in the front mount and the implemented stylised “V” as a special tribute to the name “Vincerò” draw even more attention to the car. The newly developed side skirts are the visual and aerodynamic connection between the axles. Larger air outlets at the sides and at the back render optimal engine cooling and in combination with the new diffuser, they underline the powerful car design. Mansory transforms the car using an ultra light and high strength carbon giving it a light look (and drive). The car costs about a million above that of the stock Bugatti.
Grand Sport Sang Bleu
