If proof were needed that money buys neither good sense nor good taste, then the Mansory Ghost exhibited at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show is it.
The formula is simple: take a very desirable, elegantly designed Rolls-Royce Ghost, chuck a vat of retina-searing blue paint over it, fit some hideous 22-inch wheels and a body kit, then finish it all off with some gold go-faster stripes.
It’s not all show and no go, though. Power is increased to 720 bhp from the standard 570 bhp, thanks to enlarged turbos and a remapped engine control system.
At least that extra performance means bystanders won’t have to look at it for too long. Premiership footballers and oil sheiks should give Mansory a call.
