Most certainly is, squire. Only other option would be, um, one of *those*

engines. We all know how I feel about Dr Diesels Evil Invention.

Heh, um, er, ah.... um.... 15... if I`m gentle...

I drove a hired Seicento poverty model from Amsterdam to Brussels a few

years ago. Thrashed it to within an inch of its life all the way there, and

just sat at, um, 90ish all the way back.

Cost me the equivalent of £14.00 in fuel to do something daft like 500 km.

Comfier than the train though.

Ka`s handle and corner fucking brilliantly though, the Fiats don`t. They

just feel like they do.

Title: Tuning: Mansory CYRUS based on Aston Martin DBS or DB9
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:15:13 +0000
Author: Trance4you

Mansory tuning house presents the Cyrus aerodynamic kit for the the Aston Martin DBS or the DB9. The Cyrus emphasises masculinity and power with the carbon fibre wing extensions, newly designed rear skirt with the integrated diffuser and provides space for four stainless steel and pipes of the sonorous sport exhaust system.

The two slotted right domes on the carbon fibre bonnet send extra air into the 12 cylinder engine. The car squats on large 9×20 front and 10.5×21 rear specially-insincere striking rims wrapped in 255/30ZR20 front and 295/25ZR21 rear Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres. The coilover suspension has been adjusted to lower the centre of gravity and upgrade street property for providing the best road holding.

Read more (details and photos)!!

Mansory’s definition of luxury extends to the interior where tailor-made carbon fibre parts are found. They involve some bits from the console, the centre console and the re-designed steering controls. Foot gearshift was made of aluminium while the door sills and head rests feature embroidered CYRUS logos. Hand-stitched leather covers the seats, parts of the dashboard and inside the door panels.
