- Mansory unveiled the Spectre Equista with forged carbon and gold.
- White leather, carbon, and gold dominate the redesigned interior.
- Speakers behind the bumper simulate internal combustion sounds.
If there’s one thing you can count on in the world of aftermarket tuning, it’s that Mansory will never never tiptoe around attention. The company has built a reputation for transforming high-end luxury cars into, more often than not, polarizing statements that land somewhere between opulence and parody.
Their latest creation, a heavily customized Rolls-Royce Spectre, doesn’t pull back from that tradition. If anything, it pushes it a little further.

Named the Equista Linea d’Oro, this Spectre follows a familiar path for Mansory. As with many of their other bespoke builds, the car leans hard into high-drama detailing, and this time, that includes liberal use of actual gold. If you’ve ever wondered what it would look like if a bank vault and a spaceship collided, here’s your answer.
Things kick off at the front, where the once-stately grille now wears a full gold finish. Even the Spirit of Ecstasy has been reimagined as a translucent gold ornament, glowing with a sort of surreal extravagance.
Speaking of the hood, it too is all-new, assembled from forged carbon fiber and includes large golf ball-like flakes. The forged carbon fiber and golf theme continues along the sides where there are now large carbon panels on the front quarter panels and a matching coachline running the length of the car.
Gold detailing extends to the door handles and window trim, all glinting in the light like jewelry with somewhere to be.
The visual drama carries over to the lower body. You’ll find gold and carbon highlights on the side skirts, around the taillights, on the rear diffuser, and topping the lip spoiler. To round things off, Mansory fits the car with 24-inch forged wheels. They too wear a gold finish.
A Cabin To Match
The bespoke touches continue into the Rolls-Royce EV’s cabin where all of the seats are now trimmed in plush white leather, complete with gold piping and stitching.
Mansory has also added white seat belts and incorporated plenty of carbon fiber and gold into the dashboard, transmission tunnel, and the steering wheel. There are even gold speaker grilles, gold switches, and gold buttons. Heck, even the umbrellas in the doors have golden handles.
Normally, this is the part where Mansory unleashes a reworked engine or revised performance figures. But the Spectre is all-electric, and Mansory has left the powertrain untouched. The battery pack and motors remain stock.
Still, in typical fashion, they’ve added their own touch, which in this case, comes from a set of external speakers mounted under the rear bumper, designed to pump out fake gas engine noises, making absolutely sure that everyone knows you’re there.
