Mansory has become synonymous with kitschy, as most of the time, this tuner's creations step over the OTT line. However, not all of their projects fall into this category, as some are good-looking.
Case in point, let's welcome this modified Rolls-Royce Phantom, which has had its pictures taken in Los Angeles. The luxury sedan sports a few tasteful add-ons that don't ruin the OEM looks and has a custom interior.
First things first, let's talk about the exterior, which features a pair of side skirt add-ons for a more muscular appearance. It also has a redesigned lower section of the front bumper, complete with extra LED DRLs and an apron with tiny side blades. A new diffuser dominates the back end, and we can also see a trunk lid spoiler attachment.
Mansory has also played it safe when it comes to the dominating color, which is black, with a pinstripe that ties it to the interior. There are no chromed elements anymore, as the tuner has darkened them out, and its logo decorates certain components. This Rolls-Royce Phantom rides on a set of large wheels with a multi-spoke design, which were shod in thin rubber to fit under the arches.

The rubber band tires and the apparent lower ground clearance have inevitably affected the car's comfort, yet this is a high-end Rolls-Royce, so it shouldn't be that bad. We'd like to move on to the cockpit, but Mansory hasn't released any revealing images, as we can only see it through the open doors. It's been reupholstered in light blue leather, and we reckon their signature adorns other parts. Chances are fresh trim rounds off the makeover.
It's impossible to tell whether this opulent land yacht has received a performance boost. However, Mansory has one on its shelves, which unlocks 601 horsepower (610 ps/449 kW) and 701 pound-foot (950 Nm) of torque. We've seen punchier Phantoms signed by them, including that copy we covered half a year ago, which was nowhere near as good-looking as this one.
Without outside intervention, the V12 engine with twin turbocharging powering the Phantom produces 563 horsepower (571 ps/420 kW) and 664 pound-foot (900 Nm) of torque. The 0-62 mph (0 to 100 kph) acceleration won't blow your mind, as it takes around six seconds. However, it becomes more impressive when remembering that this model tips the scales at over two and a half tons or around 5,640 pounds.
We don't think this Rolls-Royce Phantom is for sale, as chances are a wealthy owner wanted this look, and they chose Mansory, which is now using it as an online marketing tool. We've got to hand it to them for creating an appealing product. Nice job, Mansory, nice job indeed!
