German car tuner and notorious automotive stylist Mansory is headed to Monterey Car Week for the first time ever. The company knows exactly what it takes to impress buyers at the fanciest car event in the world: not one Bugatti, but two. Say hello to the Vincero and Vivere – one-offs that look like nothing the company (or anyone else) has ever built.
And they should look like nothing else for the price the company is surely charging, on top of the cost of the already seven-figure Mistral and Chiron starting points.
Mansory Calls This One A Winning Green

The Vincero, the green one, is based on the Bugatti Mistral. The monster convertible Mistral is the last to use Bugatti’s epic W16 engine, and this gives it a look more extreme than the 1,578-horsepower mill open to the world behind the driver’s head.
Its green finish isn’t paint, though. It’s a tinted clear coat showing off the green carbon fiber body. Mansory has added strakes, vents, and louvers to the original French design. It also has a gargantuan rear bumper with six big black tailpipes, and a rear wing that’s probably big enough to replace the roof should you need to.

Orange accents and pinstripe actually works well with the green. Mansory has applied its own badging to the car, including light-up logos in the grille, on the side skirts, and even on the end plates of the wing to make sure everyone is aware your Bugatti isn’t some mainstream rental car.
The interior is even more extreme, flipping the orange and green for a big effect. Bugatti will already do almost anything a buyer can imagine, so what has Mansory added to the equation? Badges and logos, for a start. Mansory says the Vincero has “numerous exclusive features” to make it unique, though it seems to be keeping some of those a secret.
Chiron Looks Good In Brown And Beige

Vivere, the brown one, started life as a Chiron. The slightly earlier car gets a more sedate paint job, with brown exposed carbon fiber bodywork. Tan pin striping and accents around the outside create a nice contrast.
Mansory has done its usual body work to the exterior, including more aero flics and other devices, chunkier side skirts, and a wing that eclipses the sun at certain angles. The rear bumper is less extreme than the Vincero’s, but it still has the same six tailpipes. Because of the grille and rear light designs, Mansory has even more logos on this one, including a replacement above the central rear lamps and as a substitute for the reversing light.

The interior is outfitted with cream and peanut butter leather. Mansory’s own trim, more logos, and even light-up badging inside the door cards and footrest help complete the effect.
Most of Mansory’s designs come with extra horsepower. It adds power and performance as audacious as the styling, but the W16 from Bugatti seems to have stymied it, though. The company hasn’t announced any extra power, though its official announcement does hint that it could be possible. Maybe 1,600 really is enough, even for well-heeled owners who think a normal Bugatti still doesn’t stand out in a crowd. Or maybe they don’t want to replace the unobtainium engine if something should go wrong.
Mansory doesn’t mention any pricing for its vehicles, but with both Bugattis already worth over $1 million each, these are truly vehicles for just 1 percent of the 1 percenters out there.
