Over the years, we've seen some plain-ugly projects signed by Mansory. We've also seen some more eye-pleasing ones, like their take on the latest BMW 7 Series. This Porsche 911 Turbo S that they just modified falls somewhere in between.
As one of the best 911s ever made, this Porsche does not need anything to stand out. Connoisseurs will always spot it in a sea of cars and immediately turn to the person next to them to highlight its performance and supercar status.
Nevertheless, since classy is a word Mansory has yet to learn, this 911 Turbo S has received front bumper attachments, like the ones surrounding the air intakes, and a chin spoiler with side blades. The front hood also came from the aftermarket world, as did the side skirt add-ons, mirror caps, and rear vent surrounds.
More things it did not need can be seen at the rear in the form of that massive wing and a more aggressive diffuser. The bumper has additional parts that were added post-production, and since Mansory thought their logo was more precious than the Porsche one, they replaced it below the full-width light bar. At least the 911 Turbo S emblem remains in place.

The center-locking wheels are all right, on the other hand. They have a V-spoke shape and a black hue, with yellow brake calipers visible behind. The rest of the car has a gray finish, and the add-ons sport a carbon look for extra sportiness.
Mansory dropped a single interior image, showing too much blue for our taste. This appears to be the dominating color inside, joined by more carbon fiber bits and pieces and the tuner's name displayed on the steering wheel and probably on other components that are not visible.
Capable of sprinting to 60 mph or 97 kph in a neck-snapping 2.6 seconds with the Sport Chrono Package installed and up to 205 mph (330 kph) on summer tires, the Porsche 911 Turbo S does not need any technical upgrades. Its turbo'd 3.8-liter straight-six engine pumps out as much as 640 hp (649 ps/477 kW) at 6,750 rpm and 590 pound-foot (800 Nm) of torque at 2,500-4,000 rpm, with the redline at 7,200 rpm.
So, has this 911 Turbo S received any modifications in this department? We don't think so. Otherwise, Mansory would have said something about it in the social media post that came from its Middle East division, with a short caption that makes us believe it is for sale. So, is it? There is only one way to find out: by contacting the controversial tuner. If you do that and this Porsche is looking for a new home, drop a line below and tell us how much it costs.
