Mansory has unveiled the new limited edition Chopster.

Based on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, the Chopster features enough LED lighting to shame Audi, Mercedes, and everyone with taste. Other design details include a chopped roof (removes 60mm in height), a full carbon fiber body kit, and a front apron that resembles a cross between a marine mammal and a dust buster.

Inside, the limited edition boasts individual sport seats, a panorama glass roof, and acres of carbon fiber trim. To justify its exclusivity, Mansory added a new center stack, two video monitors, a rear center console, and a headliner decked out in alcantara upholstery.

Under the hood, Mansory outfits the standard 550hp 4.8-liter V8 engine with a larger turbocharger, revised engine electronics, and a modified air intake. These minor changes allow the V8 to produce an earth shattering 710 hp (522 kW) and 900 Nm of torque. While specifications are slim, Mansory says the Chopster has a top speed of 302 km/h (188 mph).

Other performance upgrades include a sport suspension module (which can lower the vehicle 45 mm), black 11x23-inch turbine wheels outfitted with Dunlop Sport Maxx tires, and a high performance braking system with 420 x 40mm (front) and 375 x 30 mm (rear) discs backed up by eight-piston calipers up front and four-piston calipers in the rear.

Press Release


Mansory, the refining specialist for super sports cars presents the world premiere of the latest generation Mansory Chopster at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Even more noble, more exclusive and with an interior full of innovations and unrivalled manufacturing quality.

The company owner Kourosh Mansory assigned this project to the subsidiary Mansory Switzerland AG - in-house specialist for Porsche cars. At the Mansory stand (hall 5) in Frankfurt, Mansory Switzerland AG presents its fascinating interpretation of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. A breathtaking car body styling, precisely adjusted aerodynamics components, a vigorous 710 hp turbo engine and a unprecedented abundance of interior refinements turn the Mansory Chopster into a holistic automobile artwork.

Carbon - the basis for modifications

Mansory relies on most modern manufacturing methods and solely uses the ultra-light and high-strength material carbon for its extensive auto body modifications. Whether front- or rear apron, doors, bonnet or the wings which broaden the cars by 80 millimetres - all components are formed out of carbon and hardened under strong pressure and high temperatures in the autoclave. The advantages of the high-tech method are evident: reducing the car weight does not only improve the acceleration values, but also reduces the braking distance and the fuel consumption of the Mansory Chopster. Large air inlets provide an optimal air supply for the drive unit. Four extra headlights increase the passive safety and underline the sportive-dynamic look.
Powerful performance enhancement for better elasticity and more driving pleasures

Apart from the auto body, also the charged serial power engine of the Porsche receives an impressive makeover. The Mansory engine department exchanges the serial turbo loader with larger specimen. An adjusted engine management and a significantly improved fresh air supply result in a remarkable increased efficiency.

The modified V8 therefore mobilises 710 hp / 522 kW and a maximum torque of 900 Nm and achieves a maximum speed of 302 km/h. A sport exhaust system with an optimised off-gas stream perfects the Mansory engine upgrade. A proprietary development consisting of a racing header and a four-pipe baffler regulates the sound scenery through the integrated valve control and the driver can select a restrained sonorous or a powerful and voluminous sound.

Wheel and running gear - Components for best road holding characteristics and dynamic appearance

The fully forged 11x23 inch mono block rims in turbine design and the Dunlop Sport Maxx GT-tyres sized 315/25/23 perfectly fit under the broadened Mansory Chopster wing. By the Mansory sport module for air suspension control, the XXL-wheels are additionally enhanced. If desired, the SUV´s centre of gravity can be lowered by 45 millimetres.

Engineer design without limits

The interior is lined with most delicate materials rendering a comfortable feeling. The leather of the Mansory Chopster interior is extremely hard wearing, but yet enormously soft and finished by expert hand. For the Mansory Chopster interior, the Mansory interior designers only use flawless leather skins and accentuate them with discreet decorative stitches.

An eye-catching highlight of the newly designed interior is the centre console which stretches from the back compartment to the dash-board. Four individual sports seats with shell-type seats made of carbon fibre render an extravagant atmosphere and provide optimal hold to its passengers.

Equipped with two monitors in the centre console as well as DVD-player and laptop with internet connection, the car offers everything the clientele desires. The newly designed airbag sports steering wheel, the aluminium pedals and the carbon fibre applications perfect the exquisite overall impression in the Chopster. Mansory achieved the perfect symbiosis of dynamic functionality and a luxurious atmosphere.

What a mess... & people pay their money for them! This things redefines the term, weirdly-ugly!

Quite applicable in this case.

Mansory's designers, backers, and clients need to remove themselves from the human gene pool.
