Larte Design has announced a new bodykit for the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 called “Winner” providing the flagship SUV with more aggressive looks and plenty of carbon fiber. The tuning company which has offices in Russia, US, and Germany, already offers a styling kit for the regular Mercedes-Benz GLS but took it a step further for the AMG variant.
Starting from the front, the pronounced
splitter is limiting the approach angle of the GLS but it matches the
carbon-fiber accents on the large intakes which got a chrome-delete for
stealthier looks. The custom bonnet is also made of carbon fiber and has different
dynamic lines. The end result looks significantly less bonkers than the
previous GL and more in line with the current trend.
The profile is highlighted by the fender
extensions with integrated inlets, and the body-colored side sills with steps.
Most importantly, the aftermarket 23-inch rims are shod in 295/35/ZR23
performance tires, while Larte is also offering wheels with a diameter of up to
24-inches. At the back, the bulky SUV got a new diffuser which is obviously
cosmetic, and an extension for the rear spoiler.
Larte didn’t change anything in terms of
performance, as the stock GLS 63 is already powerful enough. The AMG variant is
fitted with a biturbo 4.0-liter V8 producing 603 hp and 850
Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through the
nine-speed automatic transmission with the help of the 4MATIC+ system. Despite
its huge mass, the performance SUV accelerates from 0-100 km/h in
just 4.2 seconds, with a top speed of up to 280 km/h.
The tuner hasn’t announced pricing for the
bodykit although we suspect it won’t come cheap given the fact it is made
mostly from carbon fiber.
