Mansory has been modifying the relatively new Rolls-Royce Spectre for quite a while, yet their latest take on the electric luxury grand tourer is also their most extreme. Thus, whether you like it or not (and we don't), meet the Mansory Equista.
The car features the typical Mansory touch in the form of ridiculous add-ons with a ridiculous finish on the outside. These include the pieces that were strapped to the front bumper, including that new apron that sports blades to the sides with Mansory branding on them.
The new hood has a more aggressive look, and we can also see aftermarket extras on the front fenders and new side skirt extensions. The OTT redesign continues out back where this Rolls-Royce Spectre has not one but two spoilers and an oversized diffuser with a motorsport-like extra brake light that doesn't do justice to the vehicle's refined, quiet, and elegant nature.
Mansory also left its mark on the add-ons glued next to the taillights, rear C-pillar pieces, and other components. The car features a custom white pinstripe that contrasts the black body and comes with the tuner's all-too-common wheels that actually look good on Rolls-Royce automobiles. These measure 24 inches in diameter and sport Mansory center caps.

With the new trim on the dashboard and door cards, black leather upholstery with white inserts, tweaked steering wheel, new pedals and footrest, a starlight headliner with Mansory's logo above the rear seats, Mansory-branded seatbelts, seatbacks, and headrests, and a few other things, this Rolls-Royce Spectre is just as brash on the inside as it is outside (if not brasher).
Mansory is quite proud of this car and says only three of them will ever see the light of day (thank God and every other deity for that!). This means the chances of encountering one in the wild are almost zero, and we cannot complain about that. The tuner hasn't said how much the Equista conversion costs, but we reckon it's a fortune, given that the Spectre begins at around $420k in our market before destination, handling, dealer fees, and, of course, options.
Before wrapping it up, we will remind you that Rolls-Royce's Spectre is the brand's first-ever production EV. It packs a dua of electric motors that rocket it to 60 mph (97 kph) in 4.5 seconds. That's impressive for a model that tips the scales at roughly 6,600 pounds (almost three tons). The Spectre has 664 pound-feet (900 Nm) of torque and 567 horsepower (575 ps/430 kW) combined. With the battery pack all juiced up, the electric grand tourer can cover 320 miles (515 km).
So, if you ever won the lottery and bought a Rolls-Royce Spectre, would you turn it into an Equista?
