Vincero is the name of the latest car modified by refining specialist Mansory, an incredible project based on a Bugatti Veyron. Veyron was already one of the most powerful cars in the world and it’s stock version sets standards in terms of price, top speed and engine power leaving every competitor far behind. But Mansory wanted to make a unique version of this car and they prepared a lot of visually changes for this Bugatti. The front side of this car received a comprehensive face lift with modified wings, a shorter hood and an aggressive front apron with LED daytime running lights. A special “V” on the front side of the car draws even more attention to this car and brings a special tribute to the name Vincero. The new side skirts connect the two sides of this car visually and aerodynamically.
