Mansory's Tuned Ford GT Is Ugly Under Natural Light, Rocks Great Name Though
Mansory has turned all kinds of ultra-pricey and mega-hot vehicles over the years into kitschy rides, usually choosing to ignore common sense and tradition to the point where certain builds are plain horrible. Don't believe us? Why don't you look at the pictured Ford GT, then?

We have to pull the handbrake a little, just to remind you that this Ford GT is not a fresh Mansory product. It came out well over four years ago, and while it wasn't exactly a looker back then, things have become worse now, as time hasn't been on this project's side.

The pictured copy tried to smile for the camera presumably not long ago, with @carlifestyle sharing these pictures on Instagram with a simple caption: "Thoughts?" Well, you already know ours, as the Mansory-tuned Ford GT is not exactly a novelty, and we were never fans of the redesign.

Mansory has had its way with the American supercar's front fascia, which has been extensively modified. The LED headlights, larger air intakes, and front hood are all new. The tuner has also equipped the supercar with a very aggressive carbon fiber body kit. The vehicle is two inches (5 cm) wider than the stock one. Carbon fiber canards, new front fender vents, sporty side skirts, different mirror caps, two roof scoops, a huge rear diffuser, and other components bear the tuner's signature, too.

This one combines teal with multiple naked carbon fiber elements. The cockpit looks similar to the exterior, and besides the teal upholstery, we can also see several white and black touches, as well as a custom headliner, several Mansory-branded components, and Le Mansory entry plates just so that you don't forget what car you are sitting in. Truth be told, the punny name is the only positive aspect of this vehicle, which used to be a very fine Ford GT at one point.

Mansory has also modified the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter engine. The V6 lump is now good for 700 horsepower (710 ps/522 kW) and 620 pound-foot (840 Nm) of torque. The tuner has never said much about the performance part, stating only that it is "almost effortlessly" to sprint to 220 miles per hour or 354 kilometers per hour.

On a more positive aspect, only three Le Mansory supercars exist as a nod to the tuner's 30th anniversary celebrated in 2020. Thus, the chances of encountering one in the open are close to zero, so it is a true automotive unicorn. Mind you, it is a brash project that only a few can stomach, and we've never been fans of Mansory's tuning take on the iconic Ford GT. But do you like it? We promise we won't make fun of you if you do.
