RUF should not be in this list

Aint it typical of a PH comment to disregard all commercial logic and just logic in general in the goal of trying to come across as hip and cool....
Yours is a logical conclusion too! NobThey could easily sell those 10 cars to genuine customers, is my point, so why dilute their brand value by letting Mansory butcher the cars?
They could even cater for those people with dubious taste in house, by offering to do one-off "improvements" for ridiculous sums.
McLaren's MSO is not unknown to produce some ungainly cars.

t at someone else's product until it breaches normal boundaries of taste, in order to gain their owners some attention.
Haha I have to agree on both accounts here.vz-r_dave said:

What I don't get is that manufacturers implicitly support these monstrous outfits such as Mansory.
Why wouldn't they?Mansory: Hello, I'd like to purchase a new car to modify to questionable taste.
Vehicle Manufacturer: No thanks, we seen all the b
hing on PH and we don't like your taste.Mansory: We'll agree to purchase a minimum of 10 per year for the next 5 years
Vehicle Manufacturer: Oh, go on then.
(or similar)
These people are genuine fruit loops!!! .... it makes for very funny viewing tho.....
Little england..... looooool
Where being as gray as paint and hating on what they cant afford matters!!!.......
I'd say the endless reams of exposed weaved carbon since the early 2000's (and earlier, but less 'mainstream' perhaps) have bullied us, the public, into liking the touches and elements many manufacturers and tuners add to vehicles.
However, this latest trend of forged / marbled / bird crud carbon is bizarre - yes it's mightier than ever before, but boy does it look terrible. As things are cyclical, I expect we'll be bullied into loving it and see it absolutely everywhere in another few years.
And seriously Mansory, some of your past attempts have been seismic - this lot is seizure inducing for the most part.

I was lucky enough to go to Geneva on the Tuesday Press Day. Had a chat with the Salesman on the Mansory stand - Mansory don't normally buy cars straight from the manufacturer, all the cars on display at Geneva are actual customer cars who came to Mansory with their motors for conversion. They don't have a range as such, all their cars are bespoke.
Highly questionable tastes (especially the 812 Superfast conversion) but they're a very successful company with a lucrative niche market, they've been to Geneva for the last good few years now.

I am friends with Kourosh Mansory and his team. They have gone from one car - a Rolls-Royce Conquistador on a stand shared with Rinspeed) in 2007 to a massive solus stand in last few years. They doesn't do cars but vans, trucks and private jets as well.Highly questionable tastes (especially the 812 Superfast conversion) but they're a very successful company with a lucrative niche market, they've been to Geneva for the last good few years now.
They may not appeal to everyone's taste but if there is a market for such customised vehicles, then be it.
I am a fan of their products and the quality & workmanship is amazing.
