Mansory Gave the Tesla Cybertruck a Wild Makeover to Forget

Mansory is known for transforming cars like the Ferrari Purosangue, Cadillac Escalade, and Bugatti Chiron horrible makeovers, which the car internet loves to hate. Their latest is a redo of the Tesla Cybertruck, which is predictably garish, though some might say that the Cybertruck was never all that beautiful to begin with.
Mansory calls it the Elongation. Mansory added a ton of new carbon-fiber bits to the exterior, including new front and rear bumpers made of carbon. Two rear wings are also made of carbon, and they are split so owners can still use the Cybertruck as a pickup truck. Typically, car designers use carbon to decrease weight since it is stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, but Mansory uses carbon fiber mostly for its looks, because it screams overbuilt, which is exactly what Mansory is going for.

'Tesla's Cybertruck has one of the most unusual bodies in automobile construction,' Mansory said. 'In order to meet Mansory's high and brand-typical demands on appearance and aerodynamics, the Mansory designers install various full carbon add-on parts on the entire car and push the martial appearance of the vehicle a little further into the extreme.'
The Mansory Elongation also includes 26-inch wheels, and on the inside, Mansory says there is even more carbon but also some leather. The exact look of each Mansory Elongation is built according to order.
'High-gloss polished paint surfaces or carbon parts—depending on the customer's wishes—in the cockpit impress in a noble way and complement the quilted seats and leather surfaces in the interior,' Mansory says.
Mansory did not mention a price, though it will be some premium on top of the $79,990 that base-model Cybertrucks are currently selling for new from Tesla. And while each new Mansory creation is inevitably met with disdain even from normally sedate publications like Car and Driver, which said the Elongation 'might be [Mansory's] worst creation yet,' this is one Mansory makeover that almost makes sense, since those same publications didn't like the look of the Cybertruck either. Two wrongs don't make a right, unless they do.Best of Robb Report
