Mansory's Rolls Royce Ghost Evokes Strong Reactions in Geneva

 Mansorys Rolls Royce Ghost Evokes Strong Reactions in Geneva
Mansory Rolls Royce Ghost live in Geneva 03.03.2010

This Mansory Rolls Royce Ghost might divide opinion but it will certainly garner plenty of stares at the Geneva Motor Show. The main attention-grabber is the body which is finished in a Gold and Blue varnish. Blue is pretty much all over the bodywork while gold is peppered on pieces such as the front grille, front wheel houses and door handles.

Changes added for performance include a new rear spoiler, rear skirt, rear diffuser and the double sport exhaust system. The 22-inch monoblock rims house Dunlop SP SportMaxx tyres to the tune of 265/35 at the front and 295/30 at the back.

Thanks to larger twin turbos, ECU optimisation, a sports manifold and sports catalysers, the Mansory Ghost now kicks out 530kW (720 PS / 710 hp) at 5,850rpm. Torque was increased from 780Nm to 1,020Nm (752 lb-ft). The car is now claimed to sprint from 0 - 100km/h in 4.4 seconds with a top end of 310km/h (192.6 mph).

The interior is laid out in delicate leather, ultra-suede lining from the roof line to the dashboard, a carbon fibre sports steering wheel with light bamboo inlays, illuminated door sills and LEDs lighting up the cabin.

 


World premiere at the 80th Geneva Motor Show

Unlimited luxury in a golden robe -
MANSORY refines the Rolls Royce Ghost

A large programme for the "little" Rolls Royce. Automobile refiner Kourosh Mansory offers a breathtaking individualisation for the Rolls Royce Ghost. The specialist for luxury cars combines most precious materials with elaborate performance, individual appearance and stylish interior refinements. This creates a unique overall concept with a self-confident character.

The most striking part of the metamorphosis is an individually varnish in Gold and Blue. The self-assured colouring does not only reflect the exclusive status of the car, but also emphasises the newly developed exterior shape.

The golden varnish accentuates the delicate cross-beam in the new front skirt as well as the vertical gill between the headlights and the front wheel houses. Also the modified radiator grill insert duly profits from the varnish.

The evidence for the increased performance of the MANSORY Ghost can be found in the side skirts, the stainless steel sheeting, the unobtrusive rear spoiler and the rear skirt with the indicated diffuser and the two-pass end pipes of the double sport exhaust system.

The sportiness imbued by the exterior package is confirmed by the content under the bonnet. Enlarged bi-turbo chargers, the map optimisation of the control electronics as well as the sports manifold and the sports catalysers significantly increase the performance of the Rolls Royce. Instead of serial 570 hp (420 kW), the Ghost refined by MANSORY now renders phenomenal 720 hp (530 kW) at 5,850 r.p.m. The engineers from the Bavarian town Brand near Bayreuth catapult the maximum torque from 780 to astonishing 1,020 Newton metres. Therefore, the engine accelerates the 2,360 kg of the car from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.4 seconds and is thereby half a second faster than the serial version. Thanks to the removed top speed limitation, the acceleration does not stop at 250, but only at 310 km/h.

With these performance values, also the wheels are growing. Especially for the Rolls Royce Ghost, MANSORY developed a new design whose innovative look perfectly matches with the new appearance of the car.

The monoblock rims measure enormous 22 inches and their surface is refined with the same golden varnish as the exterior. At the front axle, 9 inch wide wheels carry the high-performance tyres Dunlop SP SportMaxx in the dimension 265/35, whereas the rear 10.5 inch wide wheels are fitted with tyres in the dimension 295/30.

The interior presents itself as an oasis for luxury and perfectly goes with the exquisite outer refinement. Large parts of the interior are covered with the most delicate leather with diamond-quilted ornaments and are completed by an ultra-suede lining from the roof line to the dashboard. Special wide carbon and a sports steering wheel in combination with light bamboo wood inlays render and atmosphere which can not be surpassed in terms of exclusiveness. Moreover, there are illuminated door sills and the implemented ambience light effects: seats, door casings and dashboard are equipped with LEDs which supply a pleasantly soft light throughout the passenger cabin.

Once again, company founder Kourosh Mansory has understood to lift a top luxury class automobile into even higher levels. After the refinement, the Rolls Royce Ghost presents itself with a self-confident character. There is a perfect synergy between technology and luxury which further confirms the individual design.

Amazing colour, but the wheels and other "bling" is just plain awful.

*Warning: This comment contains ranting* Mansory are by far my least favourite tuning company. Not necessarily for what they do, but for the cars they pick in the first place. These are the people, after all, who decided that a BUGATTI VEYRON needs a bodykit and mild power upgrade. Seriously?! The King of Cars! Being dragged down to the level of a teenager's Saxo! It's disgraceful! Nothing is sacred to these people. And who is THIS atrocity designed for? "So I've got a new Rolls Royce, but I really wish I could modify it to combine my love of 'Pimp My Ride' and Subaru rally cars". Honestly, it's just ridiculous, and what's the point of a 710hp luxury limousine? Moreover, what's the point of a sports-tuned Rolls Royce? It's like dressing the Queen up like 50 Cent or Stephen Fry in Jimmy Saville's tracksuit or something. A car like this is exclusive enough without being made into a bling-tacular abomination, probably made just to suit over-rich tasteless oligarchs in Dubai.
