2008 Mansory Rolls-Royce Bel Aire

(from Mansory Press Release) MANSORY Bel Air – luxurious open-top experience
Right on time for the start of the open-top motoring season in Europe, MANSORY is presenting the convertible known as Bel Air on the basis of the Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupe. Named after the classy district of Los Angeles, the MANSORY Bel Air truly lives up to its name. Luxury as far as the eye can see. Even in the production version, this car belongs to the most exclusive money can buy. MANSORY, however, the specialist for super sports cars and luxury limousines, even goes one better here and customises the Rolls-Royce at the highest level. The refinement package includes a completely newly developed extravagant body-styling kit as well as prominent mirror-finished aluminium wheel rims. A technical highlight is the high performance brake system developed in collaboration with Brembo.

The design vocabulary of the production vehicle is retained and, as such, the body styling kit from PU-RIM material designed by MANSORY for the high-class boulevards of the world’s most luxurious destinations is not in any way obtrusive. Perfect workmanship and harmonious styling are the hallmarks of the newly designed apron adorning the impressive Rolls-Royce front end. The Mansory side sills accentuate the lateral styling and convey a sense of supreme control even when stationary. The Bel Air aerodynamics package is completed by the new lift-reducing rear end.

Sporty elegance coupled with high technical sophistication are the defining characteristics of the wheel design used for the MANSORY Bel Air. The single-piece mirror-finished wheel with its nine twin-spoke design is impressive both due to its exclusive look and also thanks to its outstanding workmanship. The forged construction makes the MANSORY wheel rims exceptionally light compared with conventional cast wheels. The resulting reduction of unsprung weight significantly improves the acceleration as well as the stopping distance and handling. To ensure that this 22-inch alloy wheel is fitted with an ideal set of tyres, the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyre in the dimension 305/40 has been specially developed in collaboration with Dunlop.

In collaboration with Brembo, the world’s leading manufacturer of high-performance brake systems, MANSORY has developed a brake system that is specially tuned to the modified needs of the Bel Air. Optimised deceleration and perfect metering of the pedal pressure are now provided by 6-piston callipers in conjunction with 412 mm diameter discs at the front in addition to 4-piston callipers with 380 mm diameter discs at the rear.
