Mansory's 888 HP Modification Fails to Impress on Porsche 911 Turbo S
by AutoExpert | 20 July, 2023
One may expect that Mansory’s alterations to the Porsche 911 Turbo S, both the coupe and cabriolet versions, would create a thing of beauty. However, their latest output - the "P9LM EVO 900" - proves the opposite, turning the traditionally sleek sports car into an audacious spectacle. This complete conversion kit is limited to only 10 units, offering a vertically changing two-tone paint job, two body kit options (with or without body extensions), and a power boost to 888 horsepower and 772 lb-ft of torque.
Usually, Mansory focuses its over-the-top designs on Mercedes G-Classes or Lamborghini Uruses, making this Porsche overhaul an unusual departure. The exterior changes are extensive: an enlarged front fascia, increased air intakes, and a carbon fiber front apron among others. These alterations not only enhance downforce but also do not interfere with any driver assistance features.
Aesthetic changes continue to the back of the vehicle, featuring a new diffuser, a large retractable spoiler, and a three-pipe exhaust system. The rims and brake calipers can be personalized with the color of your choice. Performance enhancements include larger VTG turbochargers, a sports air filter, and a high-performance exhaust, allowing the car to go from 0-62 mph in just 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 211 mph.
The interior, unfortunately, also saw a dramatic transformation. It's a mix of carbon and leather upholstery in the color of choice, with a somewhat questionable turquoise/mint green shade in the model displayed. Despite these upgrades, one is left to ponder if the model, still unpriced, justifies the likely substantial increase from the $230,400 base price of a Turbo S.
