Cybertruck Gets the 'Elongation' Treatment by Mansory Because Normal Was Too Mainstream

Look, the Cybertruck already is a rolling polygon perfect for a super-low-budget sci-fi flick. But apparently, that's not enough for some people. Mansory, those purveyors of vehicular… enhancements, have decided to give it the full treatment, and they've slapped on a forged carbon fiber body kit. They have literally dressed a stainless steel brick in a tuxedo made of space-age plastic. Then they decided on a perfect name for it: Cybertruck Elongation, as in Elon… Oh boy. And for those of you who prefer a more "subtle" approach, they offer a high-gloss polished paint finish. Because nothing says "subtle" like a shiny, angular monstrosity. Right?

The front end was given an "aggressive stance," which, in Mansory-speak, means they've bolted on a vented hood, a sporty bumper with a splitter, and a set of roof-mounted LEDs. I guess that's for those late-night alien invasions. And the wide fender flares? Oh, they're still angular, of course they are. But now they're made of carbon fiber, and they house a set of 26-inch wheels. Twenty six. These FD.15 alloys, finished in black, look like they belong on a Rolls-Royce, if Rolls-Royce ever decided to build a vehicle for a Mad Max sequel.
The Cybertruck gets new door mirrors, side skirts, and—this is my personal favorite—a fake greenhouse extension with a Lamborghini-style vent. Apparently, the Cybertruck wasn't already confusing enough. They've also thrown in a pair of spoilers on the tailgate, because downforce is crucial when you're hauling groceries. And let's not forget the oversized splitter, the F1-style brake lights, and the illuminated Mansory branding. Subtlety is for the weak.

Inside is where things get even more… interesting. They've reupholstered the interior with high-quality leather, quilted the seats, and added even more carbon fiber. The color scheme in the pictures is a delightful mix of white, black, and lime green. It does look a lot like a Miami nightclub threw up in a futuristic tank. Thankfully, you can customize the colors to your heart's content.
Underneath all that steel, carbon fiber, and leather, the Mansory Elongation retains the Cybertruck's stock electric powertrain. Which means the Cyberbeast trim still packs a combined 845 horsepower. That's enough to launch this brick-shaped beast from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds and change your perception of physics. That's actually faster than most people can say, "What in the name of all that is holy is this thing?"
Of course, Mansory hasn't released pricing details yet. But you and I know this thing isn't going to be cheap. We're talking about a vehicle that makes a regular Cybertruck look like a Prius. And given Mansory's reputation, you can expect to pay a small fortune for the privilege of owning this rolling… statement.
The Mansory Elongation. A vehicle that proves that even the most outlandish designs can be made even more outlandish. It's a confirmation that money can't buy taste, but it can buy a whole lot of carbon fiber and 26-inch wheels. I can't wait to see one of these things cruising down Rodeo Drive, turning heads and causing minor traffic accidents.
In our world of boring, sensible cars, the Mansory Elongation is a breath of fresh, albeit slightly insane, air. Or perhaps a gust of wind from a post-apocalyptic dust storm. Either way, it's something. They are already marketing it in the Middle East, and I think that is the perfect idea. If you are going to drive something that is more outlandish than a gold-plated camel, the Mansory Elongation is that thing.
