Mansory’s appetite for Dawn and Wraith remains high, which is why the famous (and controversial) tuner continues to post images of various two-door Rolls-Royces on social media. The latest one is apparently based in Dubai, and if you think you’ve seen it somewhere, you have: in our previous coverage here.
This time, however, it didn’t use the Burj Al Arab as a backdrop, as it was filmed from multiple angles, presumably at Mansory’s headquarters in the United Arab Emirates. The 18-second 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 some screenshots we took from the footage.

The project is just as brazen as it was more than six months ago, when we last saw it. It retains the pink look at the front, which gradually turns to matte black at the rear, combined with a blue stripe. This is one of the highlights of the luxury grand tourer, next to the custom body kit (if you're into that sort of thing). The rear diffuser, front apron, trunk lid spoiler, reinterpreted lower front bumper section and a few other things come from the tuner's shelves, as do the black FS.23 wheels with a hint of pink.
It gets even more colorful once you open the door (or lower the roof), as the entire cockpit has been reupholstered. Mansory has given a lot of pink leather to most parts, be it the seats, dashboard, steering wheel, door panels and even the floor. White piping adds a bit of contrast along with some light blue accents. The seat belts have the Mansory emblem, as do the headrests and steering wheel. This modified Rolls-Royce Dawn also sports new trim inside and new logos outside.
If this is indeed the same car we wrote about more than six months ago and not a new one, then the 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine benefits from more power. Power has increased to 730 hp (740 ps/544 kW) from 563 hp (571 ps/420 kW), and boost is increased from 605 lb-ft (820 Nm) to 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. Mansory claims this RR Dawn can reach 177 mph (285 km/h) and accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.5 seconds. So, is this project a yes or a no for you? It's probably a no for us (ok, for me), as Rolls-Royces tend to look better in stock condition.
