Friday, February 5th, 2010

The Porsche 911 Turbo has been tuned with a new tuning package by Swiss tuners Mansory, as well as outfitting it with a new body kit.

A whole new look has been given to the Porsche 911 Turbo, along with a new body kit that consists of a new front skirt, and carbon fibre lip and splitter. The rear end has also been completely remodeled, with new exhausts and additional air outlets, as well as a new carbon fibre rear spoiler.

Mansory has also given the 911 Turbo a completely handcrafted interior, with upgrades to the stock materials used by Porsche. Like the exterior, the interior is expected to feature the use of carbon fibre, and can be highly customized for customers.

Mansory has also tuned the engine, giving the 911 Turbo a new exhaust manifold along with two silencers. New one-piece 20-inch silver rims complete the look, and the new wheels can also be fitted to the Cayman and Boxster.
