Mansory's latest creation may be the ugliest car you've ever seen

If you thought the visually challenging concoctions brewed up by Swiss car modification firm Mansory peaked with this year's Cybertruck-based 'Elongation', think again – the Pugnator Tricolore has just broken cover.
Based on the Ferrari Purosangue SUV, Mansory's latest creation builds on the standard Pugnator revealed in September 2024. This time, there's a second rear wing, a colossal diffuser, four central exhaust tips, and just about everything else you'd expect from a more-money-than-sense mod shop.
Mansory – thankfully – labels the Pugnator Tricolore a 'limited one-off'.

The main differences from the Pugnator are the more extreme exterior pieces and its more unique tri-colour paint job representing the Italian flag.
That means you get 'through-coloured' forged carbon-fibre exterior elements, air vents on the bonnet and wheel arches, huge side skirts, and gaudy fender flares.
There's also the Pugnator's standard forged 22-inch front and 23-inch rear 'FC.5' wheels, while Ferrari's naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine gets a boost in outputs.
It produces 563kW of power and 730Nm, an increase of 30kW and 14Nm.
More of the Italian tri-colour carries through to the Pugnator's white interior, where you'll find red and green accents on the centre console and seatbelts in particular.
Interestingly, Mansory has kept red to the driver's side, and green to the passenger.
As with the standard car, you'll notice a plethora of luxury materials like leather, carbon fibre, quilted surfaces and floor mats, embroidered seatbelts, and aluminium pedals.
Mansory hasn't announced what the standard Pugnator conversion will cost, let alone how much the premium is for the limited Tricolore. For context, the Purosangue starts at $728,000 before on-road costs in Australia.
Mansory was founded in 1989 by Iranian tuner Kourosh Mansory. The company has since built a reputation on producing highly-modified versions of supercars, luxury SUVs, and motorcycles – including models like the Mercedes-AMG G63, Ineos Grenadier, and Rolls-Royce Spectre.

Why the BMW X1 is a CarExpert Choice winner

It's important for luxury brands to get their most affordable vehicles right. After all, these can be gateway vehicles for customers who may eventually upgrade to even more expensive (and more lucrative) models from the brand. The BMW X1 represents not only an excellent entry point for the Bavarian brand, but an excellent compact premium SUV. That's why we gave it the title of Best Luxury Small SUV in our inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice awards. Our praise also extends to its electric iX1 sibling, which earned the separate title of Best EV – Small SUV. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now.

Supplied Credit: CarExpert 'The latest BMW X1 is not only a huge improvement over its forgettable predecessor, but it has leaped ahead of the pack,' said marketplace editor James Wong. 'No other premium small SUV offers the same combination of performance, refinement and everyday practicality the X1 does for the money.' The X1 lineup is currently offered with a choice of three powertrains: a turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine with front-wheel drive in the base sDrive18i, and a pair of four-cylinder turbo-petrol engines in the all-wheel drive xDrive20i and M35i xDrive. That means the X1 covers all the bases with everything from an economical entry-level variant all the way up to a hard-charging performance flagship. Supplied Credit: CarExpert In our most recent review of the M35i xDrive, we called it a 'really well-rounded small performance SUV'. 'The X1 M35i is a pretty potent wet-weather weapon, and a well-driven one would give many hot hatches a run for their money in any conditions,' we concluded. But you don't need to step all the way up to the M35i to get a BMW X1 that's enjoyable to drive. 'Bavaria's premium small SUV has gone from being one of the class laggards to a new leader, with a blend of tech, practicality, and driving finesse even from the entry-level grade,' we concluded in our review of the entry-level sDrive18i.
