Mansory Wraps the Electric Rolls-Royce Spectre in Gold

Mansory has never been a brand for the faint-hearted, and its latest creation proves once again that subtlety is not part of the brief. Based on the Rolls-Royce Spectre, the German tuner’s newest project is called Equista Linea d’Oro, a name that hints strongly at what defines this car more than anything else: an unapologetic celebration of gold.

At first glance, the front end sets the tone. The Spectre’s fascia has been completely reworked and finished entirely in gold, transforming the already imposing Rolls-Royce presence into something closer to rolling jewelry. Even the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy has not escaped Mansory’s attention, now reimagined as a transparent gold figurine that glows with an almost surreal sense of excess.

The hood is new as well, crafted from forged carbon fiber and distinguished by large, golf ball-like flakes embedded in the material. This forged carbon and “golf” theme continues along the flanks of the car, where oversized carbon panels dominate the front side sections and a matching visual line stretches elegantly from nose to tail. Gold accents punctuate the design throughout, with door handles and window surrounds shimmering like precious metal in a display case.

Lower down, the drama intensifies rather than fades. Gold and carbon elements are layered onto the side sills, wrapped around the taillights, integrated into the rear diffuser, and even applied to the spoiler. Completing the exterior statement are massive 24-inch forged wheels, finished in gold to ensure nothing about the Equista Linea d’Oro goes unnoticed.

Inside, Mansory has treated the Spectre’s cabin with the same philosophy. Every seat is trimmed in plush white leather, offset by gold piping and stitching that reinforce the car’s ultra-luxury theme. White seat belts add another visual contrast, while carbon fiber and gold dominate the dashboard, center tunnel, and steering wheel. The attention to detail borders on theatrical: gold speaker grilles, gold switches and buttons, and even door umbrellas fitted with gold handles underline the extent of the transformation.

Mechanically, the Spectre remains true to its original identity. As an all-electric Rolls-Royce, its battery and motors are left untouched, preserving the serene, silent performance that defines the model. However, Mansory could not resist adding one final, unconventional twist. Mounted beneath the rear bumper is a set of external speakers designed to emit artificial petrol engine sounds, a provocative nod to combustion theatrics in an otherwise whisper-quiet electric grand tourer.

The Mansory Rolls-Royce Spectre Equista Linea d’Oro is not about restraint or tradition. It is a bold statement piece, engineered to divide opinion and command attention wherever it goes. For some, it will be the ultimate expression of bespoke luxury; for others, a step too far. Either way, Mansory has once again ensured that looking away is not an option.

Rolls Royce Spectre EV

Rolls Royce has decided to stop the rumors and announce to the world that it is in the process of making its first electric coupe, the Spectre EV. This is a historic step forward for the company that announced the electric novelty earlier through the 102EX and 103EX concepts.

Interestingly, although it was announced Rolls Royce will not use the BMW platform, but its aluminum platform introduced in 2017. This platform has been used on Phantom models, Cullinan and Ghost.

Rolls Royce not only announced a new model, but also presented a camouflaged prototype as a big surprise. The shape and proportions themselves are very reminiscent of the Wraith, and are expected to have two doors, a low roofline and a long front cover.

“It’s not in any way the successor of the Wraith. It’s a different proposition for our clients. It will feel very different, it will look very different,” said Rolls-Royce CEO, Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes.

He added: “We will go from combustion engines straight into electric when we substitute certain positions in our portfolio, and that is the way forward,” he said.

Before production begins, the prototype will make at least 2.5 million kilometers in all possible conditions. This will simulate as much as 400 years of use.

The first deliveries will be in 2023, and the brand will be fully electric by 2030.
