MANSORY McLaren SLR 'Renovatio'

MANSORY McLaren SLR 'Renovatio'


The MANSORY McLaren SLR 'Renovatio' is based on the Mercedes McLaren supercar and features a host of performance and customisation upgrades from the high end tuner Mansory.

Let's start off with the engine: the supercharged 5.5-litre V8 engine receives an upgraded supercharger and intercooler to boost power up to 515 kW (up from 460 kW) which is good for a 0-100 km/h sprint time in the low 3-second bracket.

Exterior-wise, a custom bodykit featuring copious amounts of lightweight and expensive carbon fibre, unique paint jobs, and ultra lightweight wheels makes the 'standard' SLR look very pedestrian in comparison.

The interior gets a similar makeover with carbon fibre inserts, plush leather and alcantara on the seats, dash and steering wheel although the choice and colour for the cloth used on the seats and gear stick boot is questionable.

As a whole, it's hard to fault the job Mansory have done to make the rare SLR even more exclusive than it already is.

Audi R8 V12 TDI Concept


German manufacturer Audi has publicly revealed it will be showing two brand spanking new vehicles at this year's Detroit Motor Show (NAIAS) - a new production car making its world debut, which we already know is going to be the TTS and the other, a concept car.

Word is out there that the concept car will be a diesel-powered version of the flagship R8 - the Audi R8 V12 TDI Concept.



The engine in this model is a race-derived 6.0-litre V12 diesel motor, which was first used in the R10 Le Mans competition car and now available in the Audi Q7 SUV. This engine produces 368kW (500hp) and a tarmac carving 1000Nm of torque.

While this was all rumours, a video showing this concept in all its glory has been 'leaked' onto the internet, all but confirming to us that the Audi R8 V12 TDI Concept will be making its debut next week.
