Mansory RS7

One of the most popular tuners in the world, Mansory, has unveiled its new work, the Mansory RS7. Some people think that their projects are “too much”, but there are also those that are really great. Such is the case with the Mansory RS7 which is based on the Audi RS7.

Mansory painted the RS7 in Nardo gray, and gave it a more aggressive look. It is equipped with many carbon components such as a massive front splitter and a prominent rear diffuser, as well as a small rear spoiler. Additional smaller air vents can be seen at the front of the wheel arches. More massive carbon sills also attract attention.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in a combination of black and blue leather with white accessories and seams. The steering wheel is upholstered in leather and decorated with carbon, and Mansory has replaced the Audi logo on the steering wheel with his own. Even the floors are made of leather.

Under the hood is a modified twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine with 780 hp (574 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. Reaches 62 mph (100 km / h) in just 3 seconds. The base RS7 runs the same engine but with 591 hp (435 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It rides on 22-inch forged rims type “Y.10” with Continental 305/25/22 tires.

The Mansory RS7 achieves such high performance thanks to a modified ECU unit, a high-performance exhaust system and a sport air filter.

German tuner Prior Design has transformed the look of the Romanian Dacia Duster SUV with a new body kit.

The body kit is made of a cheap flexible material, a combination of plexiglass and Dura-Flex, which is suitable for easy application of paint. The car got slightly wider fenders that in combination with the bumper create openings like those in the DTM. The Kit also includes a new front splitter, sills and rear diffuser, all of which cost $ 3,516 (€ 2,999). An additional $ 350 (€ 299) is required for the rear spoiler.

The accessories will suit every Duster from the redesigned version from 2013 to newer ones. The car at the presentation has a lower suspension and is equipped with a new set of forged rims with wide tires.

While the Duster isn’t at the top when it comes to high-performance SUVs, it was nonetheless interesting to Prior Design as the base for their new project.
