Rolls-Royce Dawn upgraded by Mansory

We can say that the owners of Rolls-Royce cars have good and refined taste, but there are also those who want to stand out. For them, Mansory prepared the modified Rolls-Royce Dawn as a perfect solution.

The car looks slightly more aggressive, at least if we look at the front, and if Rolls-Royce ever decides to produce a high-performance convertible version, it should look similar. The redesigned bumper, splitter, air intakes and carbon components attract the most attention at first glance. The side of the car has been modified, which includes extended sills and new carbon details. At the rear, there is a small lip spoiler on the trunk lid, a redesigned diffuser and a new bumper.

Inside, the interior is upholstered in orange leather with orange seat belts, as well as Mansory badges and black accents.

When it comes to the powertrain, Mansory has not announced any changes. Rolls-Royce Dawn is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V-12 with 563 hp (414 kW) and 575 lb-ft (1,026 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 60 mph in 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 kph).

Mansory has not announced the price of the upgrade, but it is known that the base price of the car starts at $360,000.

Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge

Rolls-Royce always conquers and forever inspires. Timeless in concept yet thoroughly modern in execution, the Ghost is truly Rolls-Royce at its most graceful and dramatic. A powerful car that tuners always try to make better, like Novitec that prepared a special equipment kit, called Ghost Black Badge.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge is equipped with a redesigned front bumper with sports intakes and optional integrated LED lights, sill extensions available for the standard and long-wheelbase versions, a new lip spoiler, exhaust system with or without flap-regulation. There’s also a Spofecom Can-Tronic module for the standard air suspension that lowers the Ghost by 40 mm, and automatically returns to standard height at speeds above 140 km/h.

Under the hood is a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine with 706 hp (519 kW) and 739 lb-ft (1,002 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard Ghost has 603 hp (450 kW) and 620 lb-ft (841 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 4.3 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). It’s mounted on a set of 22-inch Vossen rims wrapped in 265/35R22 (front) and 295/30R22 (rear) tires.

Rolls-Royce Spectre EV rendering

A few months ago Rolls-Royce decided to stop the rumors and announce to the world that it is in the process of producing its first electric coupe, the Spectre EV. It was a historic step forward for the company that announced the electric novelty earlier through the 102EX and 103EX concepts.

Specter is expected in the second half of this year, and Rolls-Royce is rapidly working on a replacement for the Wraith model without carbon emissions. The model has been spotted several times during testing when it was protected by camouflage, with the exception of just a few parts of the car.

Based on spy photos, the Russian magazine Kolesa made renderings that hint at the appearance of the Specter model, reminiscent of the modern version of the Wraith. However, Rolls-Royce does not think so. “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. We will go from combustion engines straight into electric when we substitute certain positions in our portfolio,” and that is the way forward, “said Rolls-Royce CEO, Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes.

When it comes to powertrain, rumors say it will use electric motors from the upcoming BMW iX M60. It is powered by a two electric motors with a total power of 619 hp (455 kW) and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) in Sport Mode with activated Launch Control and an M specific suspension set-up. It will reach 62 mph in 3.8 seconds with a maximum electronically limited speed of 155 mph (250 km / h).
