- 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” Tesla Cybertruck, 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.
Jack Fitzgerald’s love for cars stems from his as yet unshakable addiction to Formula 1.
After a brief stint as a detailer for a local dealership group in college, he knew he needed a more permanent way to drive all the new cars he couldn’t afford and decided to pursue a career in auto writing. By hounding his college professors at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, he was able to travel Wisconsin seeking out stories in the auto world before landing his dream job at Car and Driver. His new goal is to delay the inevitable demise of his 2010 Volkswagen Golf.
