Mansory Creates 'Special' Veyron

Buckets at the ready - Mansory's at it again

---

Having come dangerously close to building a nice-looking car with the Rolls-Royce Ghost White Edition, German tuner Mansory has made a spectacular return to horror-show form with this, the Bugatti Veyron Linea Vincero d'Oro.

Mansory has re-clothed the body in carbon fibre with an inbuilt copper thread the metallic sheen of which, says its creators, "really brings out the exceptional nature of this special car".

Mansory has also fitted restyled bumpers and a shortened bonnet, as well as covering anything that isn't black 'n' copper in gold. The word 'bling' just doesn't cover it...

The interior, meanwhile, is straight out of the darkest imagining's of Peter Stringfellow's mind.

We can't bear to look at the Linea Vincero d'Oro's cabin any longer in order to describe it, so, we'll let Mansory have a go: "Traditional workmanship, fine materials and a stylistically confident design combine to create an interior that is fitting for such a classy car," apparently.

"You notice this in particular with the LEDs of the car's mood lighting system placed in the car's seats, the door trims and the dashboard. The entire passenger cabin shines in the golden glow of this feel-good lighting which masterfully draws attention to the high-quality carbon appliqués as well as to the specially embossed leather." Nice.

Mercifully, the Vincero is strictly a one-off affair...

How are they actually in business? Although there clearly is a market for bad taste... just can't get my head around how people can like such st.

I may be in a minority but (apart from the dreadful interior) I quite like it. Looks a bit 80's Lotus JPS!

[Barry Goon 001]

A car that will be seen on roads in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Quatar very soon one would suspect...!

[nelly_h]

Surely you'd need the biggest ego in the world to feel comfortable in that car..... as Simon Cowell already has a Veyron I wonder who this one is for

[Jgtv]

It got a one.
Simply because it is still a Veyron under there I couldnt mark it 0.

I like the carbon fibre, the gold might even look ok if they toned it down a bit, but that interior is just shocking. Can't see why anyone would part with money to do this to a Veyron though

There is only 1 man that will like that interior...

[Benjman]

First thing came into my mind was: "BLING,BLING morfs!"

Will it be delivered with a golden grille for the owner?

But after a while I also remembered the Lotus JPS.
But the 80's are over.

Luckily it's only a computer rendering. (I hope)

I kinda like the exterior (incoming... looking for a cover)

But interior is definite NO, NO.

The exterior isn't so bad compared with their usual efforts but that interior, it looks like a cheap handbag from the market...

Sadly, I'm having to give a +1 on this.

Only real problem with the exterior is the ludicrous gold treatment. The interior is awesome - if you're a pimp. Or a gheyer.

THATS IT! Couldnt put my finger on it but I knew I'd seen that style somewhere before, it was hanging off the arm of a fat Geordie girl!

Won't the copper go green in the rain?

LOL! I was slightly embarrassed at giving it a 2!

[Nickellarse]

That's possibly the worst "thing" I've ever seen in my life.

Who does their styling? Gok Kwan and Dame Edna?

They should be ashamed of themselves.
