If you found TopCar’s Inferno body kit for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class to be a bit over the top, the Russian tuner has a solution in the form of a ‘Light’ version that will let you keep the SUV’s stock bumpers.
This gives the G-Wagen a slightly different appearance, as it now looks almost as angry as before thanks to the new hood and all the carbon fiber, but not quite as bulky – something certain buyers could appreciate.
The tuner also states that at the request of the client, only certain carbon fiber elements from the Inferno package’s over 40 pieces can be installed on the vehicle. For some, it’s definitely an interesting choice, although others might argue that if you’re “doing this” to your G-Class, then you might as well go all the way and add the custom bumpers too.

Should you decide to go for the full treatment, that means spending nearly $45,000, resulting in additional LED lamps, a roof-mounted rear spoiler, shark logos and the aforementioned bumpers, plus the custom hood.
As for performance, these mods are mainly cosmetic, which means that your AMG-powered G63 will still put down 577 HP (585 PS) and 627 lb-ft (849 Nm) of torque thanks to its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine. With the aid of a nine-speed transmission, the luxury SUV can accelerate from zero to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.5 seconds, which is very impressive. The top speed meanwhile is 149 mph (239 km/h), as long as you opt for the AMG Driver’s Package.
