This Car Is BOSS – Mansory’s Conquistador

This is from a while back, 2007 actually, but I couldn’t help but stare at this fabulous machine. Called by Mansory the “Conquistador”, this is a Rolls-Royce Phantom that, with just a few visual changes, became something far more than a mere luxury automobile.

There are actually two versions, the 2007 and the newer 2008. I personally like the 2007 one, as Mansory made the new one two-tone white and black, which looks alright. However, pure black is so much nicer, especially on a car called “conqueror” . The old Conquistador, with its severe black suit, imparts a certain elegance and a sense of the refined, along with a darker, mightier, and more dangerous sense as well. Sort of like the Mafia godfather who absolutely NOBODY messes with. Or maybe it’s just me, once again giving cars attributes they don’t possess.

External modifications are plentiful, and, like it always is with Mansory, serve really no purpose other than to make the car look cool. Which is absolutely fine.

The front of the car has become wider and more imposing, a new front spoiler is responsible for that. The Conquistador has integrated daytime-running LED bars, a nice touch, as well as elongated grill stripes. The headlights and taillights have been blacked out, which usually has the wannabe-cool Civic look, but in this case it looks boss. Little chrome details and aluminum side skirts and fender louver enhance the overall look, while a “sport” spoiler adorns the back along with stainless steel exhaust tips. Finishing it all is a super deep, shadow-black lacquer made by Glasurit, which, according to Mansory, makes it “more than magic”.

The interior, can you believe it, is even more luxurious than a “standard” Rolls-Royce’s. Raw carbon fiber combined with polished maple inlays in combination with ambience light effects impart an extravagance bordering on ludicrous. Quilted seat sections nestle the lucky guy in ungodly luxury, while passengers in the back get their very own integrated computer, which folds down from the back of the seat. Alcantara make up the dash and the roof lining, and the Mansory designed steering wheel has a more powerful, estate kind of look.

As for performance, it’s hard to believe anything this big could go over 60 mph, but it manages, and easily at that. A 0-60 time isn’t available, but Mansory probalby tuned this thing to hit it in 5 seconds. Top speed is 168 mph, which is amazing for a machine of this size. Not surprisingly, a big car needs a big engine, and the colossal 6.75 liter V12 pushes out 490 horsepower, and 575 lb-ft of torque. Giant Brembos and massive 24 inch wheels complete the package.

There’s not much left to say, at least nothing that the photos have not already conveyed. A fantastic creation, which shows once again that Mansory has the right to meddle with perfection.
