Mansory has had countless close encounters of the third kind with various high-end vehicles from different classes over the years. Most of the time, their projects are flashy, though occasionally, they nail the looks of certain builds.
Where does this Rolls-Royce Phantom stand? Below the OTT line. While it may feature some bold add-ons that Mansory signed by RDB LA installed, presumably, given that images of it were recently shared on social media by the American company, it's not kitschy.
You don't need to be a connoisseur of the Goodwood brand's product to tell what's new, as it is obvious that this luxury land yacht has a reinterpreted lower section of the front bumper. It also has a new apron and additional lights. The side skirt add-ons, rear diffuser, and a pair of spoilers, one above the rear windscreen and the other on the trunk lid, complete the body kit.
Although similar to the stock ones, the wheels also came from the aftermarket world and feature Mansory's logo on them. Certain parts have a forged carbon look, which doesn't make the car that flashy compared to other similar builds, as it has a black look all around. As a matter of fact, it is a murdered-out proposal, as there is no chrome trim whatsoever and this Phantom has smoked lighting units and privacy windows. A few discreet red touches round off the makeover.

You are probably curious what the interior looks like. However, we don't know the answer to this question, as the RDB LA only shared images of the car's exterior on social media at the time of writing. Normally, we would assume that this means the tuning fairy hasn’t touched the upholstery and trim. However, this is a high-end luxury vehicle we are looking at, so chances are it might feature a few aftermarket bits and bobs. Hopefully, it is not about flashy colors, as such a step wouldn't do justice to the luxo-barge's exterior.
Mansory has a power boost on its shelves for the Rolls-Royce Phantom, yet we couldn't tell you whether this copy has it or not. Without any mods, the 6.75L twin-turbo V12 produces 563 horsepower (571 ps/420 kW) and 664 pound-foot (900 Nm) of torque. With the tuner's upgrades up and running, it enjoys 601 hp (610 ps/449 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm).
The stock one takes around six seconds to reach 62 mph (100 kph) from naught, which is impressive for a car that weighs around 5,600 pounds (2.5+ tons), and with the extra oomph, it is likely one or two-tenths of a second quicker.
So, what's your take on this Rolls-Royce Phantom? And would you ever tune yours if you had one?
