Default Mansory Strikes Again - Rolls-Royce Ghost

http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2...th-720-hp.html



It looks as though German exotic and luxury car tuner Mansory has got its hands on a new Rolls-Royce Ghost, which it will display at the Geneva Auto Show next week. The visual result is typically Mansory with lots of gold, including gold 22-inch wheels. Also in gold are several details, including the massive front grille. A complete aero package is also part of the modification process and the entire car has been painted in a royal blue.
Surprisingly, while Mansory normally steers clear of performance modifications the new twin-turbo V12 presents an easily-tunable package and so Mansory has swapped in larger turbos and upgraded the exhaust system to handle what is now a very impressive 720-hp (150 more horses than stock). Meanwhile, torque also increases drastically to 750 ft-lbs. As for the top speed, it has been increased to 193 mph.
We’ll be sure to bring you live photos of this potential monstrosity from the Geneva Auto Show with live coverage starting March 1st.

Pretty cool, but not my style. I bet to see some rapper having this in one of his music videos loll

I'd take a flat black version though

They left the windscreen chroming though. I hate gold but if you're gonna go with a theme finish it up.

The blue paint and gold wheels remind one of early turbo Subaru Imprezas, which had a similiar package.

Looks like some kids coloring project who just happens to be a Michigan fan.

I like the body kit, but you can keep the rest.

FAIL!!! Over accesorized and overdone. Took the classiness down a few notches.
