Mansory Almost Spared the Rolls-Royce Phantom: A Surprisingly Restrained Tune
соцсети wheelsboutique
Mansory dressed a Rolls-Royce Phantom for Exoticshunter with a body kit, forged HRE L108M wheels and a two-tone paint job — and somehow kept it dignified.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom rarely looks like a car that desperately needs tuning. Its status is built not on loud add-ons but on proportions, silence and price tag. That makes this Mansory project all the more interesting: for this tuner, the work turned out unexpectedly calm. The photos were posted not by Mansory itself, but by Wheels Boutique.
According to the shop, the car was commissioned by Exoticshunter, the body kit is signed by Mansory, and the wheels come from the HRE catalogue. The rims here play a role no less important than the new body kit. The Phantom sits on forged monoblock HRE L108M wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tyres. In the smallest 21-inch size a single wheel starts at $4,875, so a set begins at around $19,500 before tyres and extra options. The model is also offered in larger 23- and 24-inch sizes with different finishes.
The exterior changes are gentler than you would expect from Mansory. The sedan gets a new lower front bumper, a splitter, modest side skirts, a ducktail rear spoiler and discreet tuner badges. The suspension has been lowered, and the two-tone paint — silver below, black above — makes the enormous body look even more striking.
The main point is that the project does not break the Phantom’s character. The sedan looks tougher and more noticeable, yet keeps the core visual mass of a Rolls-Royce. There is no carbon plastered over every inch, no screaming colours, no attempt to turn an executive sedan into a show car for a late-night club car park.
The cabin barely made it into the shots, so there are probably no serious changes inside. For a Phantom that is rather a plus: Rolls-Royce’s factory bespoke program already lets owners build an interior to almost any taste, and clumsy aftermarket work easily ruins that sense of an expensive object.
No technical upgrades have been announced either. The standard Phantom runs a 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 producing 571 hp and 900 Nm. For a car of this kind, what matters is not a stopwatch but soft pull and a sense of reserve, so any power bump here would be more about image than real need.
Can this Phantom be called “old money”? Probably not. Old money rarely needs tuner badges and wheels priced like a decent car. But as a rare case of Mansory without visual shouting, the project ended up far more convincing than expected. Sometimes the best luxury tune is the one that stopped one step short of going too far.
Earlier 32CARS.RU reported that Rolls-Royce had shown the Black Badge Ghost Tourist Trophy to mark the 1906 race victory.
