It appears that German tuner
Mansory isn't content doing outrageous things to
Ferraris,
Rolls-Royces,
Mercedes,
Bentleys and
Aston Martins. They apparently want to do similar things to Porsches as well. To make things easier on themselves, they have decided to just purchase a firm that already does wondrous things to Zuffenhausen's finest. Mansory has purchased the Porsche-tuning arm of Rinspeed and renamed it Mansory (Switzerland) AG. The deal is a bit complex, but Rinspeed Inc. will continue to operate as a separate entity, and will continue to do additional automotive work in the future, and the Porsche-specific side of the business now belongs to Mansory. So while Mansory will now be able to offer cars like the "Rinspeed"
X-Treme Cayenne,
Le Mans 600,
Imola and
Indy 4S, Rinspeed will continue to build its wild and wacky show cars, like the
Splash,
eXasis, and
sQuba. Got it? Good.
