German tuner Mansory has announced its first-ever partnership with a Formula One driver.
In exchange for sticking some rather subtle branding across his crash helmet, Haas F1’s Esteban Ocon gets to parade around in an anything but subtle Mansory Initiate – basically a heavily customised Lamborghini Revuelto – tailored to suit the Frenchman’s personal preferences.
Some of these tweaks include lots of marbled carbon fibre, some rather odd looking aero wheels and a gloss black paint finish contrasted with red accents. It’s a bit Marmite, if you ask us — but hey, to each their own.
Somewhat more agreeable is the hypercar’s uprated power unit, Lamborghini’s hybridised 6.5l V12, that in Mansory’s hands now develops a combined output of 775kW. Good thing Monsieur Ocon has the talent to keep that all in check.
Mansory says there’s more to come from this little collaboration, so be sure to watch this space.
