Mansory modifies Merc’s big limo. Owner presumably really REALLY likes the colour blue

Mansory has managed to get its mitts on a Mercedes-Maybach S680, but for some reason it hasn’t actually given us any details of the modifications it has made.

Luckily, we don’t really need any actual information, because, well… look at it. Apparently that paint colour is known as ‘China Blue’ and even Mansory itself refers to it as “eye-catching”.

We’d argue that’s in the running for understatement of the year, because the monstrous Merc limo now looks more like it should be chauffeuring Smurfs as opposed to the world’s most important businesspeople. The paint really does cover every surface except for the grille and even the windscreen is tinted blue. Still, it does at least make a nice change from the swathes of bare carbon fibre that we usually see.

Sadly we aren’t afforded a glimpse at the interior of this creation, but the German tuner does let slip that there’s “power that stirs the soul”. Right. Whether that means there have been any alterations to the standard 604bhp 6.0-litre V12 is anyone’s guess.

Still, the question remains – would you want this done to your £200k+ limo?
