Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Bugatti Veyron

MANSORY Linea Vincero — Bugatti Veyron 16.4 in full visible carbon

Linea Vincero is Mansory's complete-carbon body conversion for the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, the Volkswagen Group hypercar produced at Molsheim between 2005 and 2015. The Veyron is the engineering reference point of its decade: an 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16, four-wheel drive via a Ricardo seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle, and a top speed lifted from 408 km/h on the original berlinetta to 431.072 km/h on the Super Sport (Guinness world-record run, 4 July 2010). Linea Vincero is the body programme that wraps that powertrain in a re-shaped, fully visible-carbon shell.

Sister Bugatti programme: the platform-successor Bugatti Chiron Mansory kit; the Chiron is dimensioned to chassis EB 18 and does not interchange with Linea Vincero panels.

The Veyron family in one table

Total Veyron production was 450 cars across all variants. The car has no successor at this body geometry — Bugatti's Chiron is a fully redesigned platform — which makes the Veyron the only chassis Linea Vincero is dimensioned for.

Linea Vincero parts schedule

Linea Vincero is the most complete Mansory programme in the catalogue: it replaces almost every visible body panel with a Mansory-pattern visible-weave carbon part. Doors and roof structure remain factory aluminium-skinned (Veyron doors are part of the safety cell); the rest of the visible exterior is reframed.

1. Front fascia — full-replacement carbon front bumper with extended splitter, twin carbon canards and a re-shaped lower intake; OEM Veyron headlight pass-through and washer geometry retained
2. Vented carbon bonnet — replaces the OEM bonnet with full-weave panel; central air-extraction louvre cools the front radiator stack
3. Carbon side blades — reframe the air intake on the rear quarter; visible weave with sharp leading-edge cut
4. Engine cover with twin air intakes — fully redesigned upper engine cover; twin carbon snorkels feed the air-to-air intercooler stack of the W16's quad-turbo system
5. Double-deck rear diffuser — replaces the OEM lower diffuser; preserves the OEM active-aero hardware
6. Fixed carbon rear wing — supplemental fixed wing layered above the OEM active rear wing; provides additional downforce at high cruise speeds without disabling the active-aero system
7. Linea Vincero 22" forged wheels — Mansory's Linea-style 10-spoke forged in stagger sizing; gun metal and diamond black are the catalogue finishes

Active aero stays active

The Veyron's defining engineering feature — alongside the W16 — is its active rear wing. The OEM hardware deploys at 220 km/h to add rear downforce, then drops to a near-flat air-brake position under heavy braking, raising drag from 0.36 to nearly 0.74 and shedding speed at over 1.3g. The Linea Vincero programme leaves this hardware fully intact. The Mansory fixed wing sits above the OEM active wing, forward of the active-wing mast, and the kit's diffuser is dimensioned around the OEM active-wing electrical run. No body part interferes with active-wing motion. Under hard braking the OEM wing still pivots through its full air-brake range with the Mansory fixed wing in place.

Powertrain — body-only programme

The Veyron W16 powertrain is left untouched. The OEM 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 (1,001 PS on the 16.4 / 1,200 PS on the Super Sport and Vitesse) and the seven-speed Ricardo DSG transaxle are operationally fragile in the sense that the cooling stack — ten radiators across the engine, transaxle and intercoolers — is calibrated to OEM bumper and engine-cover airflow geometry. Linea Vincero respects this: the front bumper carries OEM-sized cooling intakes, the engine cover's twin Mansory snorkels feed additional intercooler air rather than restrict airflow, and the rear diffuser exhausts heat at OEM positions. Bugatti service interval requirements (annual at Molsheim, four-yearly transmission service) are unaffected. No Mansory power upgrade is offered or attempted on the W16.

Donor scope and chassis variants

Linea Vincero is dimensioned for all four Veyron 16.4 chassis variants:

• Veyron 16.4 berlinetta (2005-2011, 252 units)
• Veyron 16.4 Super Sport (2010-2011, 48 units, including the World Record Edition)
• Veyron Grand Sport (2009-2015, 58 units; removable carbon hardtop or umbrella-style soft-top)
• Grand Sport Vitesse (2012-2015, 92 units; same Super Sport powertrain in the open-roof body)

The kit does not fit the Bugatti Chiron (chassis EB 18, 2016+) — Chiron uses an entirely different bodyshell, longer wheelbase and the second-generation eight-litre W16 with an extra two turbochargers; Mansory's Chiron programme is a separate catalogue item and does not interchange with Linea Vincero.

Where Veyron Linea Vincero clients are concentrated

Veyron ownership is global but heavily concentrated in collector-grade markets. Linea Vincero conversions ship most often into:

• UAE (Dubai and Abu Dhabi private collections) — the single largest geography in the active order book
• Hong Kong for collector-stored chassis brought out for Mansory commissions on a five-year refresh cycle
• Monaco for low-mileage demonstrators and second-owner-collection chassis held in long-term Riviera storage
• Bermuda for offshore-domiciled examples carrying the matching Linea Vincero forged wheel set
• Qatar for the small-but-recurring royal-family commissions on Grand Sport and Vitesse open-roof cars

Build, paint and lacquer

Body-shop time at a Mansory-experienced workshop runs 22 to 30 days for Linea Vincero on a coupe and 24 to 32 days on a Grand Sport / Vitesse (open-roof variants require additional fitment time on the engine cover, hinged differently for soft-top stowage). The visible-weave pieces are typically delivered in raw lacquer; selective body-colour painting on splitter and side blades is available at order time.

FAQ

Does Linea Vincero affect the Veyron's top-speed run?
The Mansory programme is a body conversion. Top-speed verification on a Veyron is a programmed sequence — the OEM key in the active-aero footwell selects "top speed" mode, the OEM rear wing retracts and the front airbrakes drop. Linea Vincero leaves the active-aero ECU and the OEM aerodynamic balance untouched; the Mansory fixed wing adds downforce above the OEM active wing without contradicting top-speed mode. Bugatti does not officially recertify after-market kits, so a recorded top-speed attempt would not carry the Bugatti factory certification — but the OEM mechanical envelope is preserved.

Will the kit fit a Veyron Hermes or Pur Sang?
Yes for the body geometry. The Hermes, Pur Sang, Pur Blanc, Sang Bleu, World Record Edition and similar special editions share the Veyron 16.4 bodyshell — Linea Vincero parts align identically. The factory two-tone or polished aluminium finish on those cars is replaced by the visible-carbon Mansory finish; clients of the special editions sometimes commission the Mansory parts in painted finish over carbon weave to preserve the special-edition aesthetic.

Can the Mansory fixed wing be removed for storage or transport?
Yes. The fixed wing bolts to a Mansory carbon mast that bonds onto the rear deck above the OEM active-wing mounting. Removal is a two-bolt operation per end-plate. The OEM rear deck and active-wing hardware remain untouched by the bonding.

Does the kit interfere with the Veyron's annual service at Molsheim?
No. Bugatti's annual factory service requires the engine cover to be opened for ten-radiator inspection and oil changes; the Linea Vincero engine cover hinges on the same OEM hardpoints as the factory cover and opens through the same kinematic envelope. Service technicians at Molsheim work to a written procedure regardless of body-kit status; Mansory's engine cover does not require additional disassembly for the published service workflow.

Is a roof-top spoiler offered for the Grand Sport's removable hardtop?
No. The Grand Sport's roof options are the OEM transparent polycarbonate hardtop and the OEM umbrella-style soft-top (folded behind the seats). Mansory does not modify either roof — Linea Vincero is dimensioned around the OEM roof storage envelope on the Grand Sport and Vitesse, and the engine cover with twin intakes is shaped to clear the soft-top stowage geometry.
