This Mansory Mercedes-AMG G63 Is Literally Bulletproof

Mansory has been very active these past few days, as it usually is every spring around the time of the Geneva Motor Show.

Beyond the Lamborghini ‘Venatus’, Bentley Flying Spur and Continental GT and Audi RS6 Avant,  the German tuner has already unveiled a special Mercedes-AMG G63 tune earlier this week in the form of the two-door Star Trooper Pickup. Now, the aftermarket specialist has dropped another project based on the G63, only this time we’re talking about an armored conversion.

This is actually Mansory’s first bulletproof vehicle and it’s built according to the philosophy of “invisible armor”, which likely means concealing the vehicle’s special protection capabilities.

Applied to the latest Mercedes-AMG G63, the armored conversions available comply with either the lower VPAM4 standard or the more severe VPAM7 standard. The former offers comprehensive protection for its occupants, but targets customers who consider light armoring of their vehicle to be sufficient for their personal safety.

Regardless of the protection standard chosen by the customer, the armored G63 comes with a complete Mansory custom package including a body covered in visible carbon fiber, a widebody kit, and other exterior upgrades. Those include a hood scoop, custom bumpers, bull bar, LED bar, and emergency lights. As for the interior, it’s as luxurious as you’d expect and can be tailored to the customer’s most specific requirements.

Naturally, Mansory also offers performance upgrades to offset the added weight of the armoring package. Customers can opt to boost the G63’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 to 700 PS (690 HP) and 950 Nm (701 lb-ft) of torque or to 800 PS (789 HP) and 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft) of torque.

Mansory wants a slice of the market for special protection vehicles and believes the combination of armoring with high-quality technical and optical refinements is a niche it can successfully compete in. We believe they may be onto something here.
