Mansory boldly pimps new Range Rover

From distasteful Rolls Royces to nauseatingly ugly Porsche Cayennes, Mansory is well known for rubbing the prestigious motoring establishment up the wrong way with its often brash design makeovers.

The Swiss tuner's latest victim is the new Range Rover Vogue and it's not going to go down as Mansory's most controversial monster.

Though it'll surely divide opinion, its Kourosh Mansory wide body kit is rudely sinister and is sure to win over some fans.

Mansory describes this as an "eye-catcher, both on and off-road." That can't be denied. Who would not notice all those exposed carbon fibre garnishes, those over-sized frontal air intakes, fat lip spoiler and diamond-polished 22-inch rims?

The Mansory Range Rover can also be lowered by 45mm, at the buyer's request.

Its brutish style is backed up by some useful performance enhancements

A sports air filter and optimised ECU bump the output of the 4.4-litre V8 turbodiesel up to 301kW and 770Nm, an increase of 51kW and 70Nm.

It sounds like they're just whetting the appetite, though, as Mansory claims to be testing a far more potent conversion that offers 477kW and 800Nm. We suspect that one's based on the 5-litre supercharged petrol model.

Mansory states that only the "finest materials" have found their way into the car's interior, but that would really depend on your definition of "finest."

We suspect not all style police will approve of the decorative elements in the pictured car, but at least customers have the option of personalising their cars.

The tuner offers everything from personalised floor mats to ornamented wood or carbon accents and a glut of Alcantara leather.
