Today's community question: what premium tuner car is your guilty pleasure?
Manufacturers like Mansory and Gemballa have produced some monstrosities over the years. But every so often, they produce a tuned car that we secretly like. Personally, I’ve always had a soft spot for the crazy Gemballa Mirage.

Personally, I’ve always had a soft spot for the crazy Gemballa Mirage. Let’s just forget the fact that a beautiful Carrera GT was hacked up to produce it.
So we want to know, what premium tuning car is your guilty pleasure?

Manhart, Mine’s, Brabus and if it counts: Zagato
I have always had a soft spot for this
Brabus Rocket 900
Disco volante by touring
Hennessey Vipers- using factory widebody and just adding some tasteful performance and aesthetic mods. Doesn’t have an afterthought of a body kit, just simple supercar killing performance. ‘Merica.
This is how it should be done. Not with super ugly wide body kits, disgusting paint jobs and ridiculous camber angles.
Topcar
Because I love carbonfibre and I am also a Porsche fanboy. And Topcar combined the two: a full carbonfibre body for 991 911 Turbo (S). Not that it really makes it much lighter and faster, but I think this is double perfection
Saleen S208 Extreme. Haaaaaa That car is sexy
Definitely Cosworth
Their work is simply spectacular
i havent quite decided if i like it yet, but the Ford GTX1.
I like the fact that it becomes a targa and keeps the window above the engine, however i just cant stand to think a ford GT has been hacked up to produce it. Gemballas Carrera GT is another car that i consider stunning. Just shows that if the right company gets their hands on something stunning they can make it more stunning
As for Mansory i just dont like them, they give me the complete over the top feel but something about the cars makes me think they give a half assed effort. Give it a year or 2 and ill probably like mansory!
Not sure if RUF count since they are similar to AMG, but i like what RUF do to porsches. RWB is another i like but im not sure if its just a fad im going through since i only saw RWB for the first time about 2-3 years ago. I do like how they give a race style look and also widebody the widebody, very similar to Super GT/DTM design, and i kind of love that look
I’m a big fan of ABT
