Mansory has been quiet these past few days, but its Middle Eastern arm hasn't. The tuner's local division decided to refurbish that pink Rolls-Royce Dawn that we've already covered, and if it wasn't for the new pictures that show it next to Dubai's Burj Al Arab, we would've probably ignored it.
Nevertheless, we obviously haven't, and the luxury open-top grand tourer looks even flashier under natural light. Well, it's not all pink, as you can tell from the images posted above, as the lively hue at the front gradually becomes black at the opposite end.

The car in question also features a few forged carbon add-ons, as this upgrade has become Mansory's signature trait – well, that and the OTT styling of its projects. This Roll-Royce Dawn also gets a specific body kit that was used by the controversial tuner on other Dawns and Wraiths in the past.

It comprises the new apron with side blades, a trunk lid spoiler, a new diffuser, a reshaped lower section of the front bumper, and a few other bits and bobs. The GT features more LED lights and rides on multi-spoke alloy wheels with a black look and a touch of pink that are part of the tuner's FS.23 series.

As you already know, the cabin follows the same brash styling as the front half of the car, as it has a bit too much pink. Almost every touchable component was reupholstered, and some parts sport Mansory's logo on them. This Dawn also comes with light blue seatbelts and white and light blue piping. The additional carbon fiber completes the makeover.

Under the hood sits a modified version of the twin-turbo 6.6-liter V12. The engine is now rated at 730 horsepower (740 ps/544 kW), and it is good for 738 pound-feet (1,000 Nm) of torque. The tuner claims the car can sprint to 62 mph (100 kph) in four and a half seconds and has a 177 mph (285 kph) top speed. As for the stock V12, which is mated to an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, it develops 563 horsepower (571 ps/420 kW) and 605 pound-feet (820 Nm).

Together with its fixed-roof sibling, the Wraight, the assembly of the Dawn ended earlier this year as Rolls-Royce is looking at its electrified future, and there's no room in it for ICE-powered GTs. The Spectre is considered their successor, and it is an AWD luxury two-door model with a battery-electric powertrain that comes to life at the Goodwood factory in England and shares some components with the Phantom flagship sedan.

Before calling it a story and moving on to the next one, we've got to admit that Mansory's Rolls-Royce Dawn looks better under natural light than it did in the official images released recently. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean we're fans of the bold styling, as we think this car looks far better in OEM form.
