They say that there is no such thing as too much carbon fiber. It is lightweight, it looks good, it doesn't rust, it is flexible, and it is rock solid. However, this Rolls-Royce Phantom that drove out of the Mansory laboratory begs to differ.
This is what Mansory usually does to Rolls-Royce models. Dips them in carbon fiber, pours some light blue leather and carbon fiber into the cabin, and lets them dry. At the end of the day, it is all a matter of taste. And money, too.
This Phantom is estimated at $1.2 million. The model has left its reputation as a classic and elegant sedan far behind. Now, it features a newly designed front spoiler and hood made from exposed carbon fiber. The same composite shows up on the sills, floor, and pillars of the luxury sedan.
The automobile wears black and sports contrasting details in light blue, such as the Spirit of Ecstasy logo on the hood, belt line, and the "RR" lettering above the modded radiator grille. But Mansory can paint it just about any color out there, pink included (check out the photo gallery!). You can't expect the German tuning house to go conventional. They don't do conventional.
Mansory's Phantom rides on FD.15 Black Diamond wheels of 24 inches with tires measuring 295/30 R24, but several wheel designs are available.
Those who saw it online have mixed feelings about it. While some consider it "amazing," others claim it looks as if it was parked under a pigeon gathering.
The cabin is so blue that you think it is a hallucination that you are dealing with. Footrests equip the rear executive seats, and, in typical Mansory fashion, all seats and door cards are wrapped in leather with diamond stitching.
Carbon fiber covers the upper and lower sections of the sports steering wheel, the center console, and the dashboard strip that stretches from one A-pillar to the other.
When the Phantom rolls off the production line, it is powered by a 6.7-liter V12 twin-turbocharged engine, which generates 563 horsepower (571 metric horsepower) and 663 pound-feet (900 Newton meters of torque). An eight-speed automatic transmission puts the power down through all four wheels for a run from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 kph) in 5.1 seconds.
But you know Mansory. They just can't stay out of the engine bay. After they worked their magic on that V12, it now pumps out 602 horsepower (610 metric horsepower) and 701 pound-feet (950 Newton meters) of torque.
There is no info on how the car performs with all the upgrades. But considering that it is more powerful and that it is lighter, with all that carbon fiber everywhere, we can expect it to be quicker as well.
