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.
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
