Mercedes-AMG G63

For early 2021, the German-based Mansory tuned the Mercedes-AMG G63. The tuned model is called Gronos (Mansory name for tuned G models).

Thanks to the British Racing Green color, the car is much darker compared to its predecessors. There are also forged carbon additions, such as the front apron, lighted visor, the door handle inserts, fender vents, mirror caps, and the external spare tire cover at the back.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in Fawn Brown leather. There is also a leather-carbon steering wheel as well as dark carbon inlays and aluminum pedals while the carpets are black.

The tuned Mercedes-AMG G63 has a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Thanks to larger turbochargers that inject more air into the engine, the engine produces 850 hp (634 kW) and 1000 Nm of torque which is impressive for an SUV. The car accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph.

Production is limited to 10 units worldwide.
