Let’s talk aftermarket tuning companies. If you’re filthy rich and want to ensure that you’re the only one driving an already-one-of-a-kind supercar, you go and “personalize” it. You stitch your initials onto the headrest (I’m envying you, Vicky Beckham) or change the brake calipers to spell out your name (disgusted yet jealous at you, K-Fed). Whatever fancies you, after the initial payment for your supercar, you gotta shell out just as much to make it more .. you.
At the Geneva Auto Show 2008, they unveiled some cool concept cars and some others that I could care less about. We all know that the McMerc is Numero Uno in my heart, right? And the fact that I’m going through a blingin’ phase makes a GOLD MCMERC my dreamcar, right? Wrong.
What the fuck is this Mansory? What the hell did you fucking do?! Are you just made up of morons over there? I should send Teh Douche over. He could be a good addition to the tasteless bunch of monkeys you call designers. And what the hell is with the body kit?! It makes the McMerc look like a has-been gangsta. It’s supposed to be sleek and svelte! Not a carbface! *spits* Forget you!
You know who hit the fucking bullseye? BRABUS FOR THE WIN. They paired up a McMerc Roadster with a smart fortwo-based Ultimate 112. A supercar with a tender. SU-WEET!
Granted that some changes were “whoa” (waffle-pattern stitching on SLR leather footwells or interior components made from exposed carbon-fiber, among other things), it’s still pretty awesome. And can I just comment that I’m crushing hard on the white-and-red color scheme?! How very Colombian drug lord. Caliente! Mansory, take notes. Don’t be slacking off! *backhanded slap*
Favorite comments regarding the Brabus Roadster and 112:
Dan Parmelee: Leather floor? Wow….talk about impossible to clean and maintain. That’s just not even practical. Red carpeting would’ve been the smart choice here.
Ligor: the leather floor is not practicall?? spoken just like a poor man.
