Mansory is the tuning equivalent of an old wife we secretly wished to file for divorce. However, every once in a while, it manages to surprise us positively with a cool project. Thus, meet the new Stallone Tempesta Verde.
Based on the Ferrari 812 GTS, Mansory's latest build resembles the Stallone Tempesta Nera we wrote about in 2022. But while that one was pure ugly, this one is a dream ride, proving again that it's mostly about the color choice when it comes to this tuner's creations.
It features a matte green wrap that sends military vibes and suits the supercar like a glove, especially with the GTS' open-top nature. We can't say we're fans of the forged carbon look applied to the add-ons, like the front apron, side skirts, and rear diffuser. However, they're not that annoying in this combination.
This very special Ferrari 812 GTS also features a motorsport-inspired extra brake light, a large Mansory-branded wing, additional elements that came from the aftermarket world, the Italian flag motif running across the hood, windscreen frame, rear deck and wing, different side mirror casings, vented front vents, and new wheels with an intricate pattern.

The Italian flag is also visible on the sides of the big rear wing, on the brake calipers, and in the cockpit, on the seats, floor mats, and paddle shifters, and other elements. It's mostly an Alcantara fest inside, with some contrasting piping, Mansory-branded seatbelts, steering wheel, and headrests, exclusive entry sills, and a few other bits and bobs contributing to the car's exquisite look.
With no power boost, the Ferrari 812 GTS can reach 62 mph (100 kph) in just 3.0 seconds and will max out at mph (340 kph). Its 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine produces 789 hp (800 ps/588 kW) and 530 pound-foot (718 Nm) of torque. Mansory has also refined the engine, which is now good for 818 hp (830 ps/610 kW) and 546 lb-ft (740 Nm). With the extra oomph, the Stallone Tempesta Verde is two-tenths quicker and three miles an hour (5 kph) faster flat-out.
It's great to see that in a sea of abominations, some of Mansory's builds can still turn heads for all the right reasons, and while we may not dig the forged carbon add-ons nor those flashy alloys, we can appreciate a project nicely done. The tip of the hat goes to the controversial tuner in this case, which hasn't revealed how much this makeover costs. Still, you can expect to pay a small fortune for the upgrades alone, as everything Mansory touches tends to cost its weight in gold.
So, do you also like the Mansory Stallone Tempesta Verde as much as we do, or do you feel the Ferrari 812 GTS is best left stock?
