Let's hope Mansory forgives us for calling their latest work shocking. The luxury carmaker probably doesn't care, as they've probably already sold a few examples of their new Rolls-Royce Cullinan "Emperor Signature" at the Top Marques luxury goods show in Monaco.
"The Mansory Emperor, in its current versions, is among the most important and prestigious models in the extensive product portfolio of the Mansory brand in the world's most important markets for luxury SUVs," announced the enterprising Germans.
Anyone who thinks the current Emperor (in Slovenian: Imperator) is not yet authoritative enough can now opt for this extravagant vehicle. The “Signature” is an extended version of the Emperor model, which is based on the Cullinan Black Badge model, i.e. the sportiest version from the factory.
Since the Cullinan was redesigned last year, Mansory has also completely redesigned its existing Rolls-Royce SUV range. For the new, wider-track version, they've done... well, almost everything. The result is a Cullinan that's probably unsurpassed in its characteristic eccentricity.
Everywhere you look, you'll see a bulge, an air intake, a carbon fiber part or a light element (for example, on the illuminated grille). Compared to the "regular" Emperor model, the Signature version has all the fenders and four doors in an extended design. All the accessories are made of carbon fiber and can also be painted in color.
The interior of this converted Rolls-Royce is much less colorful than many of the tuner's previous projects. We assume that Rolls doesn't use the worst animal skins at the factory, but Mansory basically reupholsters the Cullinan models entirely in leather. The customer can also choose all the other surfaces. The choice is probably huge. Added to this are the different lighting in the ceiling and door panels.
Under the extensively modified bodywork, Mansory's own 24-inch forged aluminum wheels with carbon rims spin. The tires are 295/30R24 everywhere. The 6,75-liter biturbo V12 is boosted to 720 hp and 1.050 Nm of maximum torque with the help of its own "Power-Box" and a sports exhaust system with flaps (with two center or four side tailpipes). The standard output of the Black Badge model is 600 hp and 950 Nm. Mansory promises acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,8 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h.
