You could say that Mansory is trying to justify the Phantom’s name with the black-mat finish of its Conquistador project, but then again we’re talking about a 3.2 tonne, 5.83 m long tank on wheels so obviously that’s not the case here. If I had to choose, I’d say that the Conquistador was born to star in hip-hop video-clips; I can just imagine it filled with a bunch of “bootylicious” chicks dressed in mat-black mini shorts or even better yet, not dressed at all!

I guess all of you who clicked here would like to know a thing or two on the Conquistador so let’s get straight to the point. From what we made from the German press release, the Conquistador has been painted with BASF Coatings' Glasurit brand mat-effect paints. The original black glossy finish was lightly sanded, then paint was applied, followed by a layer of clearcoat. After another round of sanding, a layer of clearcoat mat was added. The mirrors, the radiator grille, and the trim strips received a coat of silver mat instead of black mat.
And that’s no all since the Conquistador also features a “light” bodykit consisting of a front spoiler with LED daytime running lights, side skirts with implemented aluminum flanks, a trunk lid spoiler and a new set of humongous, 24’’ black rims. In the interior Mansory applied a huge doses of carbonfibre trim as well as ambiance-light-effects and chequered quilted seats.
Finally, Mansory decided to give the 6,8-litre V12 a little more power by intervening with the electronics. That resulted to an output of 499Hp and a maximum torque figure of 780Nm of torque (up from 460Hp & 720Nm respectively).
