Mansory, renowned for its high-quality aftermarket modifications, has recently unveiled its latest project, a striking widebody Mercedes-Benz SL Roadster. This customized vehicle boasts a unique blend of design, performance, and luxury, transforming the iconic SL R232 into a menacing roadster that looks like it was ripped straight from the set of a Transformers movie.

Exterior Design: Carbon Fiber Mastery

Mansory’s widebody kit for the Mercedes-Benz SL R232 showcases the tuner’s mastery of carbon fiber applications. The vehicle’s exterior has been adorned with numerous carbon fiber components, adding both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. Some of these elements include customized front air intakes, radiator grille, sills, and exterior mirrors, which are all crafted from lightweight, high-strength material.

Other carbon fiber enhancements include a reimagined front windshield frame, side air outlets at the front and rear sections of the wings, a new hood, a rear spoiler, and wing extensions. These additions not only give the SL Roadster an aggressive, wide stance but also contribute to improved aerodynamics and overall performance, which is always a plus.

Mansory’s Signature Wheels: Aggressive Elegance

The Mercedes SL Widebody project wouldn’t be complete without Mansory’s signature alloy wheels, which lend the vehicle its Decepticon-like appearance. The tuner offers two different wheel designs, FY.5 and FD.15, for this project. The showcased vehicle features the type FD.15 fully forged alloy wheels, which measure 10.5 x 21″ at the front and 12 x 22″ at the rear. These wheels, sporting a dish-like design, pair perfectly with the aggressive styling of the widebody kit.

Interior: Luxury Meets Carbon Fiber

Mansory’s customization doesn’t stop at the exterior. The Mercedes SL R232’s interior has been meticulously redesigned to match the carbon fiber-laden exterior. White leather upholstery adorns the cabin, with carbon fiber inlays tastefully integrated throughout. Even the steering wheel features a blend of leather and carbon fiber, and the vehicle is equipped with custom floor mats and aluminum pedals.

Mansory understands that personalization is the essence of luxury. As such, they offer clients the option to choose an interior styling that aligns with their individual tastes and preferences. Clients can request a complete interior redesign or even have all interior seams adapted to specific color tones.

Performance: Unleashing the Beast Within

Although the Mercedes SL R232 is already a powerhouse, Mansory’s widebody program takes the vehicle’s performance to the next level. The tuner offers two performance levels for this project: P720 and P850. The P720 package enhances the output of the 4.0-liter V8 engine from 577 hp to 710 hp and peak torque from 590 lb-ft to 737 lb-ft. This allows the Mercedes SL Widebody by Mansory to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 202 mph.

The P850 package further elevates performance by adding larger turbochargers, among other modifications. This results in an astonishing 838 hp and 848 lb-ft of torque. With this power upgrade, the Mercedes SL Widebody can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in a mere 3.2 seconds and achieve a top speed of 206 mph.

The Mercedes SL Widebody by Mansory is a testament to the tuner’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of automotive design and performance. By seamlessly blending carbon fiber enhancements, luxurious interiors, and substantial performance upgrades, Mansory has once again demonstrated its expertise in creating bespoke, high-performance vehicles that are nothing short of automotive art.

Advanced Suspension System: Performance Meets Comfort

In addition to the performance upgrades, Mansory has implemented a new suspension system for the widebody Mercedes SL R232. The vehicle’s ride height has been lowered by 30 mm, improving both handling and aesthetics. This advanced suspension setup ensures that the SL Widebody maintains the perfect balance between sportiness and comfort, allowing drivers to experience a smooth, refined ride even when pushing the vehicle to its limits.

Braking System: Stopping Power Fit for a Superhero

Mansory’s widebody SL Roadster is not only designed to go fast but also to stop safely and efficiently. The braking system has been upgraded to match the increased performance capabilities of the vehicle. The new high-performance braking system features six-piston calipers and larger discs, providing exceptional stopping power and responsiveness. This ensures that drivers can enjoy the SL Widebody’s exhilarating performance with confidence, knowing that the vehicle can come to a halt quickly and safely.

Exclusivity: A True Automotive Rarity

One of the most appealing aspects of Mansory’s projects is their exclusivity. The widebody Mercedes SL R232 is no exception. Mansory will produce only a limited number of these masterpieces, ensuring that each vehicle remains a rare and highly sought-after collectible. This level of exclusivity further adds to the mystique and allure of owning a Mansory-tuned Mercedes SL Widebody, making it a prized possession for car enthusiasts and collectors alike.

The Mansory Widebody Mercedes-Benz SL Roadster is a shining example of the tuner’s ability to combine exceptional design, engineering, and craftsmanship to create a truly awe-inspiring automotive masterpiece. From the extensive use of carbon fiber to the meticulous attention to detail in the interior, Mansory has once again managed to elevate an already impressive vehicle to even greater heights. The performance upgrades and handling improvements round out the package, making the Mansory Mercedes SL Widebody a must-have for discerning auto enthusiasts seeking the ultimate in luxury, performance, and exclusivity.

The Los Angeles, California-based Platinum Motorsport Group prides itself on being one of the major North American leaders in the customization area for decades.

And we trust Kim Kardashian made the right choice when giving them access to her ritzy car collection. But they also love to dabble with other stuff, including the virtual realm of social media. So, in their latest YouTube channel vlog episode, we are getting a major string of novelties.

Something about Kim K was only understandable, right? Thus, the video embedded below features an update on the progress around her upcoming Mansory Lambo Urus – because when trying to stand out in any crowd, you can only go fully outrageous, right? Plus, they also dabble with a full Novitec Lambo Aventador SVJ build, as well as a “wild Brabus 800 Mercedes-AMG G 63 project,” among others.

But the main attraction on this occasion is a British ultra-luxury coach-door SUV, not the Italian thoroughbreds or the German posh yet high-performance off-roader. So, they are putting under the virtual social media spotlight a complete, fresh Mansory Rolls-Royce Cullinan design build.

The project includes almost everything one needs to make sure they will be as conspicuous as possible – either for right or wrong reasons. But that is for you to decide and for us to report on the goodies. The latter consist of (but are probably not limited to) a complete widebody aerodynamic kit from Mansory, lots of exposed carbon fiber add-ons, forged 24-inch Mansory monoblock wheels, Pirelli performance tires, and a subtly lowered stance by way of adjustable lowering links.

As always, beauty is only in the eye of the beholder. But this Rolls-Royce Cullinan (probably a Black Badge, considering all the contrasting black details) does have a few interesting tidbits going for it, and we are not only meaning about the privacy offered by the all-around tinted windows. Instead, the good folks over at Platinum also did a customized monogram coach line to make sure the owner would recognize his or her vehicle from anywhere.
