Like so many of you, if there’s one thing we’re pretty bummed out about the cancellation of the 2020 Geneva Motor Show due to the Coronavirus outbreak, it’s the fact that we won’t be seeing any of Mansory’s projects in the flesh.
The tuner, which was planning to reveal a new logo at the event alongside several custom creations, took to social media to present their take on the new Mercedes-AMG G63, and it’s, well… something.

The reborn 4×4 from Benz reveals itself with a body kit that comprises of redesigned front and rear bumpers with skirt attachments made from carbon fiber, huge fender flares and a new hood scoop. More carbon fiber can be seen on the roof attachments and extra parts added to all four fenders and front doors. The blacked-out Panamericana grille, red accents on the two-tone mirror caps and 24-inch Y-spoke wheels round up the bling.
An engine upgrade along with a sports exhaust system lifts the output of the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 from 585 to 720 PS (577-710 HP / 430-530 kW). Mansory hasn’t released performance figures, but the stock G63 needs just 4.5 seconds from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph), and will reach 240 km/h (149 mph) with the optional AMG Driver’s Package, or 220 km/h (137 mph) without it.
We were curious to see if Mansory has this G63 listed for sale, so we took to the web and found an ad on Mobile. The vehicle is advertised at €329,990 ($361,327), more than twice the MSRP of the regular G63 AMG in Germany.
If you’re into tuned G63s, you might also want to take a look at the €389,831 ($426,851) 800 Adventure XLP from Brabus, which was also planned for world premiere in Geneva.
