Bavaria-based Mansory markets itself as the premier tuner of luxury British automobiles. No wonder the Bentley Continental GT is again the subject of a tuning exercise. This time three GT Speed examples were picked for the job. Mansory calls them Vitesse Rosé - Vitesse is velocity in French while Rosé represents the dark pink colour paint job.
The main focus was on the visual side where body components made of Polyurethane Reaction Injection Mold (PU-RIM) are fitted as part of the aerodynamic package. The front and rear aprons form a unit with the side skirts while LED daytime running lights are integrated to provide extra appeal. The bonnet is made of carbon fibre, and so is the rear spoiler which also acts as a downforce component.
Road grip is courtesy of Dunlop Sport Maxx GT tyres of 285/30 ZR 21 size, wrapped around 10.5 x 21 light aluminium alloy wheels. An air suspension system lowers the car to different levels so as to improve handling and adapt to different driving situations. Overlapping chrome tailpipes work in sync with the newly developed stainless steel exhaust system and the powerful 12-cylinder engine to give a satisfying engine note.
The interior is made of premium materials such as expert-processed, hand-stitched leather. Foot pedals are aluminium and carbon fibre appears on some internal parts.
Mansory will showcase the Vitesse Rosé at the Frankfurt International Motor Show next week.

Vitesse Rosé - a Mansory special edition of the Bentley Continental GT Speed limited to only three cars
World-premiere at the 63rd Frankfurt Motor Show
Vitesse Rosé - the name says it all. On the one hand, Vitesse means velocity in French and therefore already the basic model of the Bentley Continental GT Speed is an epitome for swiftness. On the other hand, Rosé is the dominating colour of the luxury coupé which is only offered in a limited edition of three cars.
For already more than 20 years, the company MANSORY which is located in the village Brand in Bavaria stands for high-class tuning and is the top address when it comes to extravagant refinement of British luxury automobiles. The main focus are mainly visual modifications which enhance the dynamic character of the cars. The company owner, Kourosh Mansory already follows this trail with the newly designed Vitesse Rosé which now celebrates its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Extravagant eye-catcher in unsurpassable quality
The exclusive MANSORY aerodynamics package sets benchmarks in quality and appearance. On the one hand, the car body components made of PU-RIM perfectly integrate into the original design, but also render a significant dynamic style. Front- and rear apron in connection with the side skirts form a unit and do not only present a visual and colour-coordinated refinement. LED daylight running lights which are integrated in the front apron render additional passive safety and in combination with the carbon fibre bonnet they enhance the dynamic look of the two-door car. In addition, the component parts optimise the air duct over the car silhouette which renders positive effects on the handling. The necessary extra downforce can be attributed to the carbon rear lip which perfectly flows into the shape of the boot lid and prevents any troubles with the traction
Top-class twelve-cylinder sound
The newly developed stainless steel exhaust system with two angular, overlapping chrome end pipes render a striking note to the tail and supply the twelve-cylinder with an earthy rumbling sound.
High-tech rims for best road holding
In order to draw level with the extra performance, MANSORY developed a light alloy wheel measuring 10.5 x 21 inches. By using weight-saving aluminium alloys and the therefore resulting reduction of the unsprung masses, not only the braking distance, but also the handling is significantly improved. In co-operation with Dunlop, high-performance wheels type Dunlop Sport Maxx GT measuring 285/30 ZR 21 were developed. Moreover, the newly designed control unit for air suspension which allows lowering the sports car´s centre of gravity in different levels, renders additional dynamic high-lights.
Premium and extensive interior programme
MANSORY achieves the perfect symbiosis between dynamic functionality and luxurious ambience. Premium materials are chosen for the interior and enhance the comfort. The leather is processed by expert hand and is extremely resilient and still extraordinarily soft. With its individual grain and the manually applied decorative stitching, everything around the newly designed airbag sports steering wheel renders an extravagant atmosphere. The pedals are made of aluminium and in combination with the carbon fibre applications the exclusive interior of the Vitesse Rosé comes to perfection.
