Mansory's Rolls-Royce Dawn Is a Brash GT That's Becoming Viral
The Dawn and Wraith era may be over at Rolls-Royce, which has tapped into the electric vehicle game with the two-door Spectre. However, the two models remain quite popular in certain circles, where a V12-powered vehicle would always be considered superior to an EV (not that there's anything wrong with the RR Spectre, though).

Mansory's appetite for both the Dawn and the Wraith remains high, which is why the famous (and controversial) tuner keeps dropping images on social media of various two-door Rolls-Royces. The latest apparently calls Dubai home, and if you feel like you've seen it somewhere, you have: in our previous coverage here.

This time, however, it didn't use Burj Al Arab as background, as it was filmed from multiple angles, presumably at Mansory's headquarters in the United Arab Emirates. The 18-second long clip can be viewed at the bottom of this story, and you can also check out this tuned Rolls-Royce Dawn in our image gallery courtesy of a few screenshots that we took from the footage.

The project is just as brash as it was over half a year ago when we last saw it. It retains the pink look up front, which gradually turns to matte black at the rear, joined by a blue pinstripe. This is one of the luxury grand tourer's highlights, next to the custom body kit (if you're into this sort of stuff). The rear diffuser, front apron, trunk lid spoiler, reinterpreted front bumper's lower section, and a few other things came from the tuner's shelves, and the same goes for the FS.23 black wheels with a hint of pink.

It is even more colorful once you open the door (or lower the roof), as the entire cockpit has been reupholstered. Mansory gave it lots of pink leather on most parts, be it the seats, dashboard, steering wheel, door cards, and even the floor. White piping provides some contrast alongside some light blue accents. The seatbelts wear Mansory's emblem on them, and so do the headrests and steering wheel. This modified Rolls-Royce Dawn also sports new trim on the inside and fresh logos on the outside.

If it is indeed the same car that we wrote about over half a year ago and not a new one, then the 6.6L twin-turbo V12 motor benefits from more power. The output has increased to 730 hp (740 ps/544 kW) from 563 hp (571 ps/420 kW), and the thrust has gone up from 605 lb-ft (820 Nm) to 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. Mansory says this RR Dawn can reach 177 mph (285 kph) and sprint to 62 mph (100 kph) in 4.5 seconds. So, is this project a yay or a nay in your book? It's probably a nay for us (okay, for me), as Rolls-Royces tend to look best stock.
