MANSORY 4XX SIRACUSA – spectacular mid-engined sports car with Italian roots

 

With the 4XX MANSORY now presents the second generation of the super sports car SIRACUSA. The first model was based on the Ferrari 458, the successor, the Ferrari 488, has now been given a complete makeover. Centrepiece of the complete customisation is the spectacular body design. But the engine, wheels and interior have also all been given an impressive redesign in the best manufacturing quality.

As is to be expected for a genuine MANSORY we did not spare the use of carbon. No company name on the market is so closely associated with carbon as MANSORY’s. In our own autoclaves, specialists manufacture and process the ultra-light and high-strength material from motorsport and are, as a result, not dependent on suppliers. This gives absolute freedom in the scope, fit and design of the components.

Best proof of this is the completely newly designed body: Besides the optics, the technology also has its highlights, for example the striking air intakes on the front spoiler optimise the flow of fresh air to the radiator. Together with the specially developed front lip this gives a better downforce and more grip when driving at the limit. New, extremely bright daytime running lights give additional passive safety.

On the sides the striking side sills, the carbon housings for the rear-view mirrors and the front wings all show the MANSORY design language. Here optics and function go hand in hand. Because the new carbon components are not only lighter than the

The diffusor and the striking dual rear spoiler, all integrated into the rear apron, are responsible for the perfect deflection of the airflow. But the airflow system on the 4XX SIRACUSA not only ensures that the power of the twin-turbocharged eight cylinder is brought onto the road, the outlets above the front wheels also ensure that the heated air does not accumulate. Besides which, intake channels behind the doors help the respiration of the engine compartment behind the driver’s cabin.

Ultra-light wheels make their own contribution to the optics and the performance. The forged light alloy wheel rims unite highest stability with exceptionally low weight. By reducing the unsprung mass the wheels react even more agilely and realise every steering command, even under the most extreme conditions. At the front the 9×20 inch rims carry 255/30 high performance tyres, while the rear axle rims in 12×21 inch with 325/25 tyres transfer the power of the engine onto the road.

 

The 3.9 litre engine in the 4XX runs with an optimised motor management and a specially designed exhaust system. This combination results in a power output of 790 bhp (581 kW) at 8,000 rpm. Thanks to a torque of 870 Nm (561 lb ft) at 3,000 rpm the eight cylinder accelerates in breathtaking 2.9 seconds (Standard: 3.0 s) from zero to one hundred (62 mph). The top speed of 341 km/h (standard: 330 km/h) is also higher than the standard vehicle. The chassis components fitted to the SIRACUSA have been specially designed for the increased power. These consist of four progressively wound lowering springs. As a result the car’s centre of gravity is 20 mm lower compared to the standard car.

 

In the interior, MANSORY have created a command and control centre which perfectly combines functionality and comfort. The steering wheel specially designed for the 4XX in a combination of leather and carbon and the redesigned central console operating panel guarantee optimum control of the vehicle. At the same time, the interior of the super sports car oozes pure luxury. All components of the interior cladding are leather coated, offset with coloured seams. 4XX logos on the seats, the foot-mats and the doorsills round off the refinement.
