As far as tuning companies go, interior
specialist Carlex Design typically create stunning yet restrained vehicles. Its
latest project, however, featuring a Mercedes-AMG G63 is one of its most
impressive and eye-catching to date, though we’ll admit, it won’t be to
everyone’s taste.
The tuner says it spent 5,000 man hours
creating what it dubs the G63 Steampunk Limited Edition. Starting at the
outside, the performance-focused SUV is bathed in a number of bronze accents,
including the wheels, side-exiting tailpipes, and badges. Making the vehicle
really stand out is a custom-painted roof with an intricate pattern of skulls,
roses, and diamonds finished in the same gorgeous shade of bronze as other
external parts.
Inside, this G63 is unlike any other.
Virtually all of the major surfaces are now bathed in a deep shade of brown
leather that are contrasted by dozens of bronze accents, including the air vent
surrounds, parts of the steering wheel, various buttons and switches, and the
interior door handles. The incredible attention-to-detail continues with an
Alcantara headliner with a design mimicking that of the roof. The front seats
are also totally bespoke while other cabin surfaces also feature
steampunk-inspired designs.
If there are any blockbuster Hollywood
horror films in the making, this G63 would look right at home on set. Carlex
Design hasn’t announced pricing details for its extensively modified
Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon but it said that it intends on building just 10 examples.
