Tuner Mansory has brought their latest creation, the Siracusa, to the Geneva Motor Show.
Based on the Ferrari 458 Italia, the Mansory Siracusa is named after a town in Sicily and its historic race track. The Siracusa makes even more use of carbon than does original manufacturer Ferrari, as all body components are now made out of the lightweight material, which includes the front apron with air inlets for the front coolers, a new bonnet and side skirts with integrated ducts to feed even more cooling air to the engine. At the back is a rear skirt with integrated diffuser and a rear wing. Carbon blades replace the rear window and the total tally on the weight-saving carbon is 70 kg.
Power upgrade takes the form of an ECU remap, sport air filter and sport exhaust – all good for 434 kW and 560 Nm of torque. 0 to 100 km/h takes place in 3.2 seconds and top speed is 330 km/h. For the suspension, Mansory has fitted four sport shock absorbers and progressively-wound lowering springs, which lower the 458 by 20 mm. Wheels consist of 9 x 20-inch and 11 x 21-inch forged rims wrapped in Michelin PS2 tyres, 245/35 ZR 20 and 305/30 ZR 21, front and rear respectively.
Inside, Mansory has applied top-quality materials, including leather, ultra-suede and carbon fibre accents. Further handiwork includes decorative stitching, a newly designed center console, aluminum pedals, and a sport steering wheel with full-sized airbag.
We’ve never been partial to Mansory‘s taste when it comes to styling. In this case the Siracusa’s saving grace is that it’s still a 458 Italia which looks great to start with, but we prefer Novitec Rosso‘s equivalent. What are your impressions of this 330 km/h bumble-bee?
