2011 Rolls Royce Ghost by Mansory and Vellano

When Mansory unveiled their tuning package for the Rolls Royce Ghost, no one was really impressed by the color they chose for the car’s exterior. Well, we guess Notre Dame fans were jumping at the chance to sit behind the wheel of the blue and gold spectacle, but we’d wager that the majority of the seeing public would rather feast their eyes on this pure white masterpiece.

This exquisite Rolls Royce Ghost was created upon request of an unknown customer who seems to have unbelievable taste. As part of the tuning package, the tuner added a new Vellano VTR extended lip by MC Customs, Miami and a new set of 24" wheels. As a reminder, Mansory’s original package included a new front skirt, a modified radiator grill insert, and 22" wheels. The interior combined delicate leather with diamond-quilted ornaments. Next to the exterior changes, Mansory also offered enlarged bi-turbo chargers, an ECU optimization, sports manifold, and the sports catalysers. These features added up to an impressive 720 hp and 780 NM of torque. As a result the sprint from 0 to 60 mph is made in 4.4 seconds and top speed goes up to 192 mph.

They may have started off with a nice package, but these add-ons have turned the previously tuned Rolls Royce into the perfect limousine seen here
