Now We've Seen it All: Pink Audi R8 in Holland

Just when you felt life was getting a little bit boring, along comes this piece of literal Dutch eye candy to remind you that many people are crazy. Yes sir, that's an Audi R8. Yes sir, someone painted it pink. But not just pink – light candy pink with darker pink blades. Now, let's say for a second that the carbon fiber blades are actually baked pink plastic. That would be kinda OK in our book. However, since they are obviously nothing but regular carbon fiber painted pink, we're against them. Moreover, they look slightly purple. And pink and purple simply do not match.

Mansory Bentley Vitesse Rose isn't really all that rosy

As a testament to its range, the same company that brought you the evil blackness of the Vincero would like you to focus your attention here, on the Bentley Vitesse Rose. The full-on Mansory kit itself is fine. The pink-a-licious color its draped in, matched with the carbon fiber hood, is best digested before you eat solid food. And wait until you see the inside: a color combination we don't think you'll be seeing from the Series 51 program comprising diamond stitched pink and purple leather.

Depending on your take, you might be gratified that Mansory only plans to build three of them. If you want to be one of those... proud... owners, then call Mansory and have a check ready for €269,000. The rest of you can check out the roseate goodness.

Mansory chops Porsche into carbon fiber

Widely regarded as the wonder material of the 21st century, carbon fiber has been touched by genius. European coachbuilder Mansory has come up with the new technical hotness, but with a perked-up design. Carbon crazed Mansory takes Porsche Cayenne Turbo S to a new extreme with an (almost) complete carbon fiber body.

The modified Porsche Cayenne Turbo S has as much carbon from the inside as it has on the outside. With four carbon fiber sport seats, a lot of work has been done under the hood as well. The factory turbocharger have been replaced with larger ones to make 710hp and 664 ft-lbs of torque and a top speed of 188mph, riding on an electronically adjustable suspension and a massive 23-inch rims. The car is also equipped with two monitors in the center console as well as a DVD player and laptop with internet connection.

Mansory has set up a manufacturing line by retiring the conventional without any sense of blunting or artificial edge.

PICS + VIDEO: Mansory Vincero costs $1 million... on top of the price of a Bugatti Veyron

Bugatti always finds ways of making their Veyron more exclusive, with a seemingly endless procession of special edition models. But for some, that still ain't enough. Inherently, Bug customers also tend to be the same people for whom cost is no object. And for them, tuning house Mansory created the Vincero.

With updated aero, LED lighting, new wheels and carbon fiber galore, Mansory also managed to coax out an extra 108 horsepower from the Veyron's thousand-horse, quad-turbo W16. And the cost of these otherwise rather modest modifications? A whopping $985k – nearly a million dollars – on top of the price of a stock Veyron to begin with. At those kinds of prices, it's no wonder Mansory decided to build just three of 'em.
