Geneva Preview: Mansory tunes Rolls-Royce Ghost, beats it with gilded ugly stick
Filed under: Sedan, Geneva Motor Show, Rolls-Royce, Luxury
Wealthy people of Abu Dhabi, your Rolls-Royce Ghost is ready. We’ve seen plenty of special-edition Rolls-Royce cars specially designed for the folks of the Persian Gulf, and this latest tweaking by Mansory is nothing short of… attention-grabbing. However, Mansory won’t be limiting this gem to just one small part of the world – it will be showing it off in the flesh at next week’s Geneva Motor Show.
The most noticeable visual change is the car’s gold and blue exterior livery, which includes 22-inch gold varnish wheels wrapped in high-performance Dunlop SP SportMaxx tires. Other (more subtle) tweaks include new side skirts, a rear spoiler and a revised rear fascia with integrated diffuser.
Mansory has, however, made a few tweaks that we highly approve of. Larger turbochargers, a remapped engine computer, a sports manifold and new cats means that total power has been increased to 720 horsepower and 752 pound-feet of torque – gains of 150 hp and 177 lb-ft over the standard Ghost. Hitting 62 miles per hour from a standstill will only take 4.4 seconds, meaning the Mansory version is half a second quicker than the stock car.
Follow the jump to read the full details in Mansory’s press release, and stay tuned for live impressions and photos from the Geneva show floor. That is, if our eyes ever stop burning.
