You didn’t expect for the 2011 Geneva Motor Show to go by without the Swiss tuners at Mansory introducing some radical looking tuning program mostly made from carbon fiber right?
In case you find it difficult to tell what model was used as the basis for the MANSORY Cormeum then we will end the mystery: it is the Mercedes SLS AMG. And we said difficult mainly because the car’s headlights somehow appear to be borrowed from the Ferrari 599.
Anyway, the MANSORY Cormeum Mercedes SLS AMG treatment is limited to 15 cars, each weighting 90 Kg less than the standard model, and with 600 HP (485 kW) under the skin.
Carbon fiber was uses almost everywhere, including the roof and doors, with everything reshaped into custom design components, like the new front bumper, which features large air intakes and integrated LEDs, new side skirts, the rear apron with the race diffuser plus the massive rear wing.
The MANSORY Cormeum Mercedes SLS AMG is 66 mm wider at the front and 84 mm at the rear axle, while its center of gravity is now 22 mm lower due to new springs and dampers.
The MANSORY Cormeum Mercedes SLS AMG also comes with 20 inch alloys wrapped in Michelin tires, an the besides this 600 HP kit, the tuner will also introduce a 800 HP version which is currently undergoing testing.
Mansory press release :
MANSORY Cormeum – super sports car in a striking carbon shell
The MANSORY Cormeum leaves few reminders of the Mercedes SLS AMG. The sports car manufactured in Affalterbach is only the basis for the latest development of the automobile manufacturer MANSORY Design & Holding GmbH situated in Brand near Bayreuth. 660 hp and 90 kg less weight are only two unique selling points of this exceptional automobile which can only be obtained in a limited edition of 15 cars. At first glance, the striking design created by its owner and head designer Kourosh Mansory can easily be discerned. Also the name was picked personally by Kourosh Mansory: An aria was already the source of his inspiration for the refined Bugatti Veyron (Vincerò) and this time this is the aria Vide Cor meum.
In order to meet the increased requirements of the sports car when it comes to light weight and torsional stiffness, Kourosh Mansory’s team optimises almost the entire car body and also exchanges the roof and the wing doors with ultra-light own developments. A MANSORY front skirt replaces the serial bumper and due to its well-engineered shape it reduces the uplifting forces at the front axle. Larger air inlets in connection with a new LED light unit provide the two-seater with an even more dynamic face.
Additionally, the new front skirt supplies the enlarged cooler with more fresh air and subsequently propels the air out of the new bonnet. MANSORY also replaces the front and rear mudguards with broader newly designed light-weight parts. Therefore, the Cormeum extends by 66 millimetres at the front axle and impressive 84 millimetres at the rear axle. MANSORY side skirts make the two-seater look even lower and longer and perfectly enhance the rims. The rear has also been significantly redesigned by the aerodynamic specialists. The apron has been exchanged and a race diffuser renders additional downforce. A rear spoiler with carbon flaps completes the aerodynamic overall package.
The extended wheel houses of the MANSORY Cormeum are filled with exclusive forged wheels with central locking. They measure 9×20 inches with 265/30er tyres at the front and 11×21 inches with 295/25er tyres at the rear axle. The tyres are provided by MANSORY’s partner Michelin. Due to new springs and dampers, the Cormeum’ s centre of gravity is 20 mm lower than the basic model and therefore additionally emphasises the exclusive rims.
The core part of the engine modification is the adjustment of high-performance compressors. Also a sports air filter and a sports exhaust system made of stainless steel are fitted. These components are adjusted to each other with the help of a new map for engine electronics. With a top performance of 660 hp / 485 kW and a maximum torque of 4,850 r.p.m., the MANSORY engine exactly meets the wishes of its ambitious motor sports clientele. Another performance increase up to 800 hp is already tested.
As usual, MANSORY turns the interior into a highly functional control centre with unsurpassable quality and innovative design. Only most exquisite materials are used for the interior design and therefore render a high level of comfort. The leather which is processed with masterly skill is very endurable and still extraordinarily soft. The characteristic natural product with its special grain and the masterly perfected decorative stitches render an extravagant impression around the newly designed centre console. Another highlight is the newly developed full size airbag sports steering wheel. The aluminium pedals and the real carbon applications complete the luxurious overall impression of the Cormeum.
The MANSORY Design & Holding GmbH solely offers its own refining accessories. MANSORY does not trade finished cars and also does not sell such.
