Lotus has confirmed German tuning house Mansory as the Brit firm’s official car customiser.

Mansory will build special-order bodywork, trim and bespoke finishes for Lotus Elise, Exige and Evora models.

The collaborative pair will unveil ‘an exciting new model’ at the Paris motor show in September.

At the 2011 Geneva motor show Lotus and Mansory revealed the Mansory Evora, which featured an aggressive front-end and a carbonfibre roof, front splitter and air intakes, rear diffuser, engine cover, mirror housings and fixed rear spoiler.

Mansory founder Kourosh Mansory said: “As the Official Lotus Customisation Studio, we amplify the existing options with harmonically designed aerodynamics and ultra-light aluminium rims. High-quality accessories and stylish interior fittings complete the Mansory assortment.”
