MANSORY pays special attention to performance optimisation with which the car from Maranello made the sprint from zero to 100 kph two tenths faster than the series version (3.7 seconds). *
The propulsion is only over at 340 kph.
Thus the modification, called the Stallone, impressively fills the gap to the fast, 350 kph
sports car brother, the Enzo.
The engine components newly developed by the MANSORY technicians are responsible for this.The performance kit includes high-performance compressors and custom made intercooling. The supercharging of the V12 power train is supported by a sport air filter with higher air throughput as well as modified control electronics.
This increases the performance of the large 6.0 litre twelve cylinder engine from 620 to 720 HP. The torque increased by an additional 92 Nm.
The sport rear muffler made of stainless steel underscores the sporty appearance of the MANSORY Stallone with its impressive sound.
New components for impressive performance boost
The 5.5 litre V8 engine with its standard 626 hp likewise profited from the comprehensive changes.
The motto of the MANSORY engineers when redesigning the engine was "evolution instead of revolution."
The leading idea was not about making major changes to the SLR's core. Rather, existing components were swapped for modified developments by MANSORY itself.
A optimized electronic fuel injection system and also new developed pulley, sport catalyser and manifold component`s, gives the RENOVATIO more mechanical power, torque, and speed.
As a result the Renovatio is two tenths faster from zero to 100 km/h than the super sports car production model.
The top speed increases *to 340 kph. Following the alterations the Renovatio
has 700 PS and generates 880 Nm torque
on the crankshaft.
FULL STORY
Governments around the world are bowing to public pressure to reduce greenhouse gases, and more often than not the first sector they look at is the auto industry. The European Council has proposed a ruling that could see car-maker forced to limit their fleet average CO2 levels to 130g/km by as early as 2012, something that could have disastrous effects for niche players like Ferrari.
The super-car company is now working on cutting its vehicles’ greenhouse gas emissions by nearly half and is working on several different strategies including building lighter cars and implementing new hybrid technology. Speaking with Germany’s Welt am Sonntag, Ferrari president Luca Cordero di Montezemolo told reporters the car-maker is aiming to reduce CO2 emissions by 40% between now and 2012.
“We are currently working on the development of a Ferrari that will use alternative energy sources and which will be based on what we are doing at the moment in Formula 1,” he revealed, referring to the new Kinetic Energy Recycling System (KERS) that works on the principle of brake-energy-regeneration. The KERS is basically an efficient CVT gearbox joined to a flywheel that rotates when the cars undergo braking. The stored energy can then be used to boost acceleration for overtaking and cornering,
Montezemolo insisted that any future hybrid Ferrari would still be “fundamentally a Ferrari”. However, the first models available for sale would arrive until around 2015.
In a further effort to reduce emissions, future Ferrari's could also come powered by smaller and more fuel-efficient turbocharged V6 engines. A company spokesman revealed last week that Ferrari has ruled out nothing in terms of technology as it works to keep high-performance a priority while accommodating strict emissions rules.
:chuckles:Right I just read the EU has the emissions mandates - they need to meet those.
