Mansory has teased a handful of new models that it is developing bodykits for.

The first teaser posted to Facebook previews kits for both the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and Ferrari Roma. The SF90 Stradale is Ferrari’s most potent model and Mansory is planning to make it even more menacing with custom parts for the front fascia, side skirts, and rear diffuser. This teaser also previews an extended rear wing, trim around the headlights and taillights, and new trim around the side air intakes. As for the Roma, it has also been previewed with a unique front splitter, side skirts, rear lip spoiler, and rear diffuser.

The second teaser previews kits for the Maserati MC20 and McLaren 765LT. The kit for the Maserati is perhaps the most outlandish and in addition to revised front and rear bumpers, plus distinctive side skirts, it also includes a large fixed rear wing and a roof scoop. Changes being readied for the 765LT are a little more subtle but will still beef up its road presence.

Last but not least is a teaser for the 992-generation Porsche 911 and Aston Martin DBX. The 911 can be seen with unique bumpers, a large rear wing, and accents around the side air intakes. The DBX’s bodykit is also very aggressive and includes flared wheel arches, re-designed bumpers, a power bulge on the hood, a tailgate spoiler, and a roof spoiler.

Mansory has yet to announce when it will introduce these bodykits.

The Aston Martin DBX Is Hugely Important For The Brand, But Does It Deliver The Goods?

Roughly one month after production of the long-awaited Aston Martin DBX commenced, Harry Metcalfe has had the opportunity to test the performance-focused SUV.

Aston Martin has spent roughly five years making the DBX a reality, and its future arguably rests on the DBX’s shoulders.

Power is supplied by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 sourced from Mercedes-AMG that is rated at 542 hp and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. This engine is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission that’s coupled to an advanced four-wheel drive system. Aston Martin says the DBX requires just 4.5 seconds to accelerate from naught to 62 mph (100 km/h) and will top out at 181 mph (291 km/h).

When driving the DBX, the first thing Metcalfe discusses is the air suspension. Not only does it offer an adjustable ride height, but it apparently absorbs bumps beautifully. What’s more, he says that the handling dynamics are “extraordinary,” thanks in no small part to the trick anti-roll bars that use 48-volt technology.

The veteran journalist recently had the opportunity to test out a Lamborghini Urus on the same roads where he reviewed the DBX, and the Aston Martin seems to handle just as well, if not better. However, the SUV is not perfect, with Metcalfe pointing out that the braking is the vehicle’s weak point. He also says that the DBX is not “crazy quick” like the Urus, but is nevertheless more than fast enough.
