Just a few days too late for our list of horribly modified supercars, this atrocity here is the new Bugatti Veyron Linea Vincero d’Oro from Mansory. What isn’t wrong with this picture? Excessive exterior carbon fiber, check. Faux-gold rims and accents, check. Ostrich-patterned, gold leather interior, check. Interior perimeter LED lighting, check again. Everything about this thing makes you feel a whole lot better about not being rich enough to afford something this awful.

Mansory has built one example of the Linea Vincero d’Oro and is hoping that there are enough tragically misguided individuals in this world to commission a few more. We’re hoping the exact opposite–pretty hard. [via Jalopnik]

Exotic cars, whether of the sport or luxury variety, are the artful masterpieces of the highway. These vehicles excel beyond all others both in terms of styling and performance, and they don’t need any aftermarket attention to make people stare in envy. Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop tuners from trying.

With a proclivity for disaster, tuners have injected their own vision into these once-beautiful vehicles in an attempt to further enhance their illustrious beauty and brawn. Unfortunately, that didn’t go so well.

Mixing audacity, wasted skills and sheer, misguided insanity, each tuner involved in this list has failed pretty hard and executed unconscionable and egregious crimes against the automotive world.

You may not be able to buy a Plymouth anymore, but that doesn’t have to stop you from pretending to drive one. HPP has introduced two add-on packages that allow you to “update” your Dodge Challenger to a look of muscle car madness not seen since the waning of the 1970s.

The two kits include serious exterior mods like the massive rear spoiler, reworked front end and pop-up headlights. The inside also gets the treatment with a revised instrument panel, HPP floor mats and new shifter. The base price for the package is $16,395.

Yes, Mansory is back on our home page. And you know what that means: Something awful happened. This something awful is called the White Ghost. Yes, a fun, playful name on the new Rolls, but the name is where the fun ends.

Eye over the exterior and you can almost be lulled into thinking the White Ghost isn’t half bad. It’s very white. It’s a Rolls. It’s hard to find much fault.

The Porsche Panamera isn’t exactly the best-looking Porsche on its own. Still, it’s a quality piece of automobile that took home the Bloomberg Car of the Year at the end of last year. Had Porsche had the same vision as Mansory, it probably wouldn’t have ever been considered.

Inspired and named after the American stealth bomber, this is the F-117 Nighthawk, a Ferrari 458 Italia tuned up by German shop Cam-Shaft. The jet-inspired graphics that warn of things like “Beware of Jetblack” and “Danger – Ejection Seat” are a bit cheesy, but that lackluster grey suit fits the 458 like no other. Cam-Shaft wrapped the Ferrari up in a vinyl wrap to create the effect.

It appears that Cam-Shaft left the supersonic speeds for the skies and kept 570 hp V8 stock. No other details were released, but you can enjoy some more pictures after the break. [via WCF]

There’s something inseparably Middle Eastern about a Range Rover limousine concept. Perhaps it’s the fact that the Range Rover looks so good rolling over the sun-kissed desert sands of the Middle East, or perhaps it’s that the Middle East is the only place that would be considering a stretched Range Rover in this current economy.

German tuning house DMC has released a tuning package for the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 that adds a little bit of speed, power and style to the venerable Lambo.

Gemballa founder and owner Uwe Gemballa went missing in February and has not been heard from since. It’s believed that he may have been kidnapped after a visit to South Africa to meet with potential investors for a new venture. Much mystery and intrigue surround Gemballa’s disappearance, and it’s not clear if or when he will be found. In a case of the ship going down in its captain’s absence, the Gemballa tuning shop has officially closed its doors amidst financial turmoil.
