Mansory Transforms the Tesla Cybertruck – for Better or Worse?
While the Tesla Cybertruck has achieved impressive global sales, there's no denying its ability to command attention on the road. Whether it's been compared to a garbage container or praised for its daring, unprecedented design, the Cybertruck has always sparked debate. However, with Mansory's modifications, the vehicle has become even more eye-catching—reaching what our Arab GT team considers its worst iteration yet. Before diving into the details, it's worth recalling a well-known economic principle: 'If tastes didn't vary, goods would sell out instantly.' This saying perfectly applies to both the Cybertruck and most of Mansory's custom creations. Mansory Strikes Again: Meet 'Elongation' Take a look at Elongation, the official name for Mansory's modified Cybertruck. After closely examining the images, it's likely that most people will agree on at least one thing—this version might just be the most controversial Cybertruck yet. A Closer Look at Mansory's Modifications The transformation begins with redesigned front and rear bumpers, now featuring an array of spoilers, vents, and diffusers. These aggressive enhancements are complemented by side sills and widened fenders crafted from carbon fiber, along with carbon fiber mirror covers. The electric truck also receives a vented carbon fiber hood, while fake air vents have been added to the C-pillars. And, of course, no Mansory build would be complete without compact carbon fiber spoilers adorning the rear. Up front, Mansory has replaced a large section of the Cybertruck's fascia with a carbon fiber panel, housing an illuminated Mansory emblem at its center. The tailgate hasn't been entirely swapped out for carbon fiber, but a layered section with additional Mansory lighting has been added. Above the windshield, an LED light bar introduces yet another carbon fiber touch. Rounding out the exterior upgrades, the truck now rides on 26-inch alloy wheels, meticulously finished to mimic the look of carbon fiber. A Glimpse Inside the Cabin Stepping inside, the interior is a mix of gray and white, highlighted with yellow accents. Though Mansory hasn't confirmed it, it appears that carbon fiber pedals are present, alongside carbon fiber door sill plates. The perforated leather upholstery follows an abstract pattern, giving the cabin a distinct character. Mansory's branding is prominently displayed throughout, though the company assures buyers that full customization options are available. If you're considering placing an order, we'd be happy to assist you in selecting the ideal configuration. There's no question that the Mansory Elongation Tesla Cybertruck is a head-turner—though whether that's for better or worse is up for debate.

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. More from Robb Report First Drive: This Restomod Is a Loud and Challenging Racer That Would Make Steve McQueen Smile Mercedes-Benz Is Road Testing a New EQS With up to 621 Miles of Range It's Official: Mercedes-Benz Is Making a Smaller G-Wagen '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.

Mansory 'Elongation' Tesla Cybertruck Might Be Its Worst Creation Yet
Mansory just unveiled what may be its worst design yet—or best, depending on your point of view. The design in question is Mansory's "Elongation" , which plasters the EV truck with heaps of carbon fiber and a pair of roof floodlights. The interior is equally loud and features a mixture of gray, white, and yellow accents, and as much carbon fiber as the customer wants, of course. As the old idiom goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Oftentimes, art is as much about what we bring to the table as it is about what the artist has made. That said, Mansory's latest creation might be the ugliest thing to ever come out of the German modification company's doors. You're free to disagree, of course. Perhaps you like the look of the Mansory "Elongation." Mansory is known for taking high-end and often beautiful cars and making them visually louder with the addition of copious amounts of carbon fiber, which—at least in this author's humble opinion—ruins otherwise beautiful pieces of art. On the other hand, the Tesla Cybertruck started life as the gaudiest mobile refrigerator to ever grace Dwight D. Eisenhower's interstate system. Sure, Mansory took an ugly thing and made it look worse, but at least it didn't ruin an artistic masterpiece. The Elongation Cybertruck swaps out the front and rear bumpers for a set of carbon-fiber replacements with illuminated badging. Carbon fender flares and side sills connect the two ends of the truck. The mirror caps are carbon fiber, as are the fake air vents and front hood. Mansory says the distinct winglets at the rear mark the Elongation as a "real" Mansory at first glance. The inside is just as over the top. Mansory says customers will have complete control over customization. The version pictured here shows a mix of gray, white, and yellow. Customers can order hard surfaces in even more carbon if they want to match the exterior. Inside and out, the Mansory Cybertruck is certainly going to turn heads wherever it goes. Plus, on second thought, Mansory should probably be tried by the International Court of Justice for what it did to the Ford GT.

If Buying A Cybertruck Didn't Make You Comfortable With The Size Of Your Wiener, Maybe The Mansory 'Elongation' Can Help
Fellas, please listen to me. If your penis is physically unsatisfactory or stops working, for whatever reason, I promise you do not need to debase yourself with Mansory's take on the Tesla Cybertruck, which is called the Elongation. No, I'm not joking. As with all Mansory projects, the Elongation is anything but subtle, building on the already garish Cybertruck with lots of tacked-on carbon fiber bits, some winglets, new wheels and a lightbar up top. The interior is actually... better than the regular Cybertruck in my opinion. It has some interesting splashes of color and material choices that take the rather drab interior of the Cybertruck and make it more interesting. It's all intended to make up for the fact you're balding, your wiener isn't working and your wife and kids aren't picking up the phone anymore. On the outside, Mansory's "designers" stuck the aforementioned carbon-fiber bits all over the car, including the bumpers, hood, wheel arches and side skirts. They even added a little four-sided carbon fiber panel behind the rear windows, a lightbar on the roof and some winglets above the tailgate to make the truck a bit less useful. Mansory says all of these parts are made of real carbon fiber, but they're available in several designs and can be painted in different colors depending on what the customer (read: lonely guy) wants. One aspect of the Elongation that I don't detest are the wheels. They're 26 inches, which is probably too big, but they've got a sort of turbofan look to them, which really works for me. Mansory says customers should throw on high-performance 315/40R26 tires on the front and rear. I've got no idea what said tires, along with the extra tacked-on bits, will do for the Cybertruck's range, but I've got to assume it won't be good. Mansory says the Elongation will go about 2.4 miles per kWh, which seems to be on par with what the regular Cybertruck gets. Read more: Tesla Cybertrucks Are Rusting Despite Being Made Of Stainless Steel Inside, well, I'm a bit ashamed to admit it, but I sort of like what Mansory has done here. The company says that "only the finest materials" were used inside the Elongation, and I cannot confirm if that's true or not, but it does look a lot better than a normal drab Cybertruck. Mansory will add full leather upholstery and, of course, a lot of carbon fiber according to what the customer wants. For its show model, Mansory fitted the Elongation with a black and white interior with highlighter yellow accents. Both the black and white surfaces come with a really neat pixel pattern to add a bit more oomph. It also looks like the steering wheel shape has been slightly altered, and the Elongation gets Mansory-specific floormats to match the rest of the interior. I know it's not a look everyone will like, but it's a vast improvement over the blank void that is the normal Cybertruck's interior. Still, this car's interior does not do enough to make up for the sins of its exterior. There's no word on what the pricing will be for the Mansory Elongation, but I cannot imagine it will be cheap. We'll see what the uptake is on this package because I've gotta assume most Cybertruck owners are pretty hard up on cash right now between the alimony and child support payments as well as the massive depreciation hit their trucks are taking. It was always just a matter of time before Mansory got its grubby little hands on a Cybertruck, and I guess this is sort of tame in comparison to a lot of what its makes, but damn — it's still a nightmare. What can you really expect, though? There isn't anything anyone can do to make a Cybertruck look good. Read the original article on Jalopnik.
