Tuesday, we gave you a single image and press release on the Mansory Veyron LINEA Vincerò. That's not nearly enough on this priceless (literally) special edition Veyron. Here's the whole shebang.
We first set our eyes on the questionable Mansory Veyron LINEA Vincerò back in December when it randomly appeared in a UAE dealership ready for purchase by an oil-rich Arab Sheik, but Mansory has finally revealed the full shebang in Geneva with a little shazaang! The exterior of the special edition Mustang Veyron plays nicely with your eyes until you get it out in the desert sun. Like the Veyron Pur Sang, the LINEA Vincerò features a heavy hand of carbon fiber and polished aluminum exterior bits; those polished bits will shine enough to bring down the custom Airbus A380 ordered by another Middle Eastern dignitary.
The exterior also has some subtle changes, that you'll likely only see once the sun sets, including a revised front fascia with a 'V' in the main Bugatti horseshoe grille and LED driving lights in the wings of the smaller air inlets. The rockers have been delicately re-sculpted to allow for better aero properties and Mansory has fit new turbine-style wheels that, if hooked up to a power grid, could power a small city after you mash your foot into the go pedal and hold steady until the juice runs out. The front fenders are also new, featuring a duct that relieves pressure buildup from the front wheel housing. We feel pressure building up just thinking about it, so to let it out, we'll talk about the interior.
Mansory has taken it upon themselves to disgustify (we know, it's not a word) the Veyron's supple, leather lined interior with a white netting that looks like a pre-pubescent prankster got loose with a can of Silly String. To highlight the mess, they've provided LED ambient lighting that will also help you find your lost dignity. Just in case you didn't feel special enough yet, Mansory has included Vincerò stitching on the seats and a super, duper special badge on the center stack just below the eject button.
You'd think that 1,001 banshee-power pumping through the veins of the 8.0-liter, quad-turbo W16 would be enough for the supercar elite, but nooooo — Mansory cranked the dial to 12 and provided the Vincerò with a new cold air injection and exhaust system, opening up a whopping 8 horsepower more. Really. 8 horsepower. Sigh.
We make fun of the Mansory Veyron LINEA Vincerò only because we'll never, ever, never be able to afford one, but that doesn't mean you can't. Mansory has signed an exclusive deal with Prestige Cars, Abu Dhabi to sell the Vincerò along with the other crazy rides in Mansory's individualization program. If you'd like to join us in our supercar bashing (a.k.a. craving), please, lay waste in the comments below.
