German tuning company has revealed details of its super-limited edition Bugatti Veyron ahead of its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

Officially named the Linea Vincero, Mansory has re-jigged the Veyron’s air intake and modified the exhaust system to increase power from 1,001bhp to 1,109bhp.

There are no performance figures, but this should shave a couple of split seconds off the Veyron’s standard 0-62mph time of 2.5 seconds and better its 253mph top speed.

Mansory has gone to work on the Veyron’s looks, shortening the bonnet and fitting a new front splitter to increase downforce while also fitting new side skirts.

As with all Mansory vehicles, great detail has been made to creating the Veyron’s interior with the Linea Vincero lavished in white leather and carbon fibre.

The word Vincero is Italian for ‘I will win’ and stems from the opera song Nessun Dorma – famously sung by the late tenor Luciano Pavarotti at Italia ’90.

There is no official price-tag as yet, but expect the Linea Vincero to cost well in excess of £1 million.

Just three Linea Vinceros will ever be made with the ultra-exclusive car making its debut at March’s Geneva Motor Show.

When Bugatti announced the first official details of the Veyron it said just 300 would ever been made. 

Since being launched in 2006, a host of special edition models have been launched by Bugatti while tuners have customised Veyrons for their ultra rich owners.

This includes the Hermes styled Veyron which debuted at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show and the recently-launched Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport convertible.
