Mercedes-Benz GLS Black Crystal by LARTE Design


The Mercedes GLS isn’t the most striking model in Mercedes’ line-up, thats why tuners like Larte Design exist in the first place.

The tuner took it easy this time, focusing its energy on making the Mercedes-Benz GLS, dubbed the 'Black Crystal', more imposing and opulent.


The new carbon-fiber body kit integrates a plethora of visual add-ons into the large SUV’s body, including new front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and expanded fender flares – making the car a bit wider as well.

There are even two Swarovski crystals on the vehicle’s body, while the redesigned grille governs over the front fascia. At the back, a four-pipe exhaust system was embedded into the rear diffuser, while the roof spoiler minimizes the vehicle’s size.


Under the hood, LARTE upgraded the 258 PS and 620 Nm, 3.0-liter V6 to 290 PS and 691 Nm. Nothing over the top, but enough to offer the car a punchier character.
