Mansory is known for giving us some very niche vehicles. They are very interesting to look at. These units invite passersby to stare for a little while just to take it all in, and the most popular ones are not to everyone's taste because they often look like abstract art – you get it, or you don't. Probably, that's what made Mansory be Mansory and helped it become an internationally known brand.
But the 2023 Range Rover that underwent the German tuning house's enhancement program is not as provocative as, let's say, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan "Linea D'oro" or the two-door Urus.
Mansory seems to believe that Land Rover still makes the Range Rover Vogue, which is not true. The Indian-owned British automaker has simplified its lineup. The three versions available are - Range Rover (that's it, no "Vogue"), Autobiography, and SV. Each can be ordered with short, long, and long with seven seats wheelbases.
The Germans probably wanted to make sure that customers had a simpler way of differentiating between the major trims and wanted to separate it from the Range Rover Sport.
Mansory offers a wide body kit for short- and long-wheelbase Range Rovers. It even allows customers to choose whether they want a race brake light. The kit includes 22 parts, and all are made from carbon fiber. Thus, you won't make your posh SUV any heavier. You can also choose the type of carbon fiber you want. The Brand, Germany-based shop offers some interesting patterns.
The personalization program doesn't stop here. Customers can also replace the hood, the intake covers, the lower bumper panel, the grille, the side air intakes, the logos, and the mirror housings. They can also add two spoilers – one for the roof and one for the decklid.
Mansory also offers an interesting selection of rims, an upgraded exhaust system, and an engine tune. If you're gunning for the V8, it'll sound a lot better after these guys get their shot at transforming your British SUV.
Inside, a couple of interesting upgrades are possible, but you don't have to go with what the tuning house recommends. You can send them a personalized order, and, for a price, they will do what you desire.
The Range Rover you can admire in the photo gallery and the video below is a 2023 model-year unit that's powered by the BMW-sourced 4.4-liter V8. It also rides on some very nice 24-inch wheels and sports the "panda" or "Stormtrooper" look. It costs $405,663 and is brand-new. Sadly, it's nowhere close to the US. A dealership in Saudi Arabia owns the SUV.
Still, it's a good representation of what Mansory can do when it doesn't plan on going overboard with its design. Now, the only question is – is it worth almost half a million dollars? We'll let you be the judge of that.
Car shows on TV and his father's Fiat Tempra may have been Florin's early influences, but nowadays he favors different things, like the power of an F-150 Raptor. He'll never be able to ignore the shape of a Ferrari though, especially a yellow one. Full profile
