About a vehicle, which goes back in its basic idea to its grandfather of 1948 and represents for 75 years at the same time a firm component of the English automobile industry, does not have to be written in detail much more. The Defender is rightly regarded as a milestone in the history of the automobile, which reliably and successfully performed its service in the past in numerous versions and special designs worldwide and continues to do so in large numbers unchanged until today.
With over 2 million units sold of the previous generation of the Defender, its successor since 2020 is poised to continue this success story. Internally called L663, the "New Defender" is at the cutting edge of modern times thanks to its modern technology such as permanent all-wheel drive, 8-speed automatic transmission and the latest electronic refinements of all kinds, without denying its hardcore roots or having lost its high off-road capability and legendary robustness.
IDEA
So it was only a matter of time until the engineers of the Bavarian manufacture MANSORY would take on this model and with the presentation of the Defender as a 5.0l V8 then received the perfectly fitting basis for their extensive refinements, which are appreciated by customers all over the world.
BODY – CONVERSION
After this complete conversion, the “MANSORY Defender Black Edition” is an eye-catcher par excellence – technically and visually. All body components of the stunning off-roader, which is always painted black in this limited edition – starting with the front apron and the hood, the elegantly widened front fenders, the extensions of the undersides of the doors, the roof spoiler and the rear apron – are made of full carbon and give the car a powerful, harmonious and impressive appearance that characterizes every MANSORY complete conversion.
The ultra-light full-carbon hood characterizes the view of the vehicle from the front. The front section is complemented by a new radiator grille and a new front apron in visible carbon. New daytime running lights and additional LED headlights mounted on the roof in a carbon surround set further highlights – in the truest sense of the word – and round off the front design of the “MANSORY Defender Black Edition”.
The sideline of the car is dominated by the full carbon body extensions at the front and rear. A new, two-part roof spoiler forms the transition to the rear of the vehicle.
The rear itself is dominated by a full carbon rear apron with an integrated third brake light, which, in conjunction with the carbon surrounds of the rear lights, complete the sporty yet powerful character of the “MANSORY Defender Black Edition” in the rear view.
All conversion parts are of course also available individually and will soon also be available for the long version of the Defender (Type 110).
RIMS | TIRES
The "MANSORY Defender Black Edition" is fitted with rims of the type "FD.15" in the rim size 10 x 24, which are combined with high-performance tires in the dimension 295/30 R24. This combination gives the car increased precision in sporty driving, enhances performance and complements the conversion with an elegant and at the same time coherent design.
PERFORMANCE
The "MANSORY Defender Black Edition" experiences a power increase of 125 hp (torque: plus 245 Nm) thanks to various modifications to the drivetrain and a new, 4-pipe sports exhaust system, thus achieving an engine output of 650 hp and a torque of 870 Nm in absolute terms. Both values, which ensure sovereign that both onroad and offroad at any time state-appropriate driving performances are present. Acceleration is reduced to 4.7s from 0 to 100 km/h (= minus 0.7s) and the top speed is limited to 250 km/h (= plus 10 km/h).
INTERIOR
As with all MANSORY complete conversions, the interior of the "MANSORY Defender Black Edition" can basically be freely selected in terms of leather, colors, quilting and carbon design.
The refinement of the interior corresponds in type and extent to a classic complete conversion from MANSORY.
In the case of the vehicle shown here, the entire interior is done with dark gray Alcantara® and all applications were in "Mandarin Orange". The carbon parts are all finished in "visible carbon".
A MANSORY carbon leather sport steering wheel with integrated shift light, safety belts with embroidered MANSORY logo, MANSORY sport aluminium pedals, MANSORY floor mats and many other detail solutions make the "MANSORY Defender Black Edition" a vehicle whose owners can fully realize their individual ideas and the specialists from MANSORY are able to realize them in a masterful way.
Several hundred illuminated LEDs in the headliner, representing the sky and the MANSORY logo, can, if desired, complement the changes in the interior and thus further enhance the interior and provide the occupants with a luxurious ambience for the very highest demands.

MANSORY – more than tradition, more than racing.
Premium British cars and their special flair have always been the passion of owner and the man who gave his name to the company – Kourosh Mansory. This enthusiasm is the result of several years spent in England as well as a personal commitment to automotive values such as tradition, craftsmanship and sophisticated technology. When the company was founded in 1989, particular attention was therefore paid to the Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Aston Martin brands. Nowadays, MANSORY also dedicates itself with the same attention to the individualisation of models of the Porsche, Lotus, Maserati, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, McLaren, Lamborghini and Ferrari brands and has thus established itself among the world’s largest and most renowned providers of vehicle individualisation at the highest level in the high-end sector.
In the middle of 2001 MANSORY relocated its headquarters from the Bavarian metropolis of Munich to Brand in the Fichtelgebirge. By taking over the tuning business of the Swiss Rinspeed AG, and the foundation of MANSORY Switzerland AG in November 2008, MANSORY expanded their product portfolio to include a range of accessories for Porsche. From now on, refinements for the Range-Rover, BMW and Porsche brands have been marketed under the MANSORY Switzerland brand. The Mannheim company AEV-Automotive GmbH has been part of the group since 2009. The exclusive interior design specialist supplies leading automobile and caravan manufacturers.
Towards the end of 2021, MANSORY opened another chapter in its company history with the opening of its own showroom in Dubai. The generously dimensioned showroom area of over 800 square metres not only offers MANSORY the opportunity to display up to 20 vehicles at the same time, but also to receive its discerning customers in its own very exclusive lounge. At the same time, this location serves as the sales centre for the UAE region.
Since September 2022, the Dubai location has been supplemented by a 2,000 square meter workshop building, which enables MANSORY to carry out almost all necessary work on the vehicles for its customers on site and to ensure service and support for the vehicles after purchase.
The range of products offered by MANSORY Design & Holding GmbH extends from complete vehicle conversions, carbon aerodynamic components, ultra-light aluminium rims to powerful engine performance upgrades. High-quality accessories and stylish interior fittings complete the range.
As a pure manufacture, the "MANSORY Bespoke" programme also allows for complete one-off productions according to individual customer wishes, right up to complete vehicle transformations – such as the conversion of luxury SUVs into 2-door coupés.
With today more than 270 employees worldwide, MANSORY fulfils almost every automotive wish of its exclusive clientele. Manufacturing at the highest technical level in combination with masterly workmanship and the finest materials is always the dominant standard at MANSORY.
