Mansory V-Class is the next level of luxury

Mansory is one of the best tuning companies whose projects are mostly based on German cars, and their latest project was presented at the recent Shanghai Motor Show. It is a Mercedes V-Class that is now more luxurious than ever.

The vehicle is intended for the Chinese market, where luxury vans have become a status symbol. It is equipped with a chrome front grille, a new bumper, and a carbon hood and side mirror housings.

The interior is of a higher level, with a lot of luxury. Passengers can enjoy seats covered in quilted leather, ambient lighting and a lot of technology, so it can be said that it is adapted to VIPs, who want more luxury with significantly more head and legroom. There is a partition between the driver and passengers, and passengers can contact the driver via an integrated phone when necessary.

Mansory did not announce the price of the upgrade.

Brabus XL 800 based on the Mercedes-AMG G63

The Brabus XL 800 is another outstanding creation from the German tuner based on the popular G-Class, the Mercedes-AMG G63. This SUV, capable of overcoming even the most difficult terrain, comes with a number of improvements and much more power.

The Brabus XL 800 has a ground clearance of 470 mm, which is 119 mm more than the Mercedes-AMG G63 4×4², thanks to a new suspension with portal axles, a tuned front axle, a special version of Brabus’ RideControl shock absorbers and springs. It is equipped with a Widestar carbon fiber bodykit that includes wide fenders with integrated ventilation openings, a hood, sports bumpers, a front apron, side-mounted exhaust pipes, a rear wing, retractable side steps, and additional LED lights on the roof. It sits on a new set of 22-inch Brabus Monoblock Z/HD forged wheels wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion all-terrain tires.

The interior features quilted gray leather, a Dinamica headliner, and plenty of carbon fiber accents. The headliner features gauges and additional screens for rear passengers.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Mercedes-AMG G63 is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine with 585 hp (430 kW) and 850 Nm of torque. The same engine, with the upgrade, now develops 800 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque, which is enough for a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h.

Audi RS Q8 with 1,000 HP

The RS Q8 is the largest SUV in Audi’s fleet and is now the basis for a new Mansory project. The German tuning company has made it better and more powerful.

This car is a true beast in the world of SUVs, and it showed it on one of the most famous tracks, the Nürburgring Nordschleife, where it set the fastest lap time in the production SUV category. Last year, a refreshed version was presented, powered by a 4.0-L V8 biturbo engine with 640 hp and 850 Nm of torque, which is enough to push the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 306 km/h.

The Mansory version has a black body and a yellow leather-covered interior. The leather can also be seen on the body details, rims and huge brake calipers. At Mansory, the most attention was paid to increasing power. Under the bonnet is still a 4.0-L V8 biturbo engine, but with 1,000 hp and 1,250 Nm of torque. While Mansory hasn’t revealed performance data, what we do know is that the car gets a modified ECU, new turbochargers, new water-cooled intercoolers, more open air filters, new tailpipes and a new exhaust system.
