The original Mansory Gronos came out in 2013 as modified version of the previous G-Wagen. This is the Gronos 2021, and as its name implies, it builds on the new-gen G-Class, and more specifically the Mercedes-AMG G63. While the stock model’s 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 produces 585 PS and 850 Nm of torque, the new turbos, downpipes, exhaust system and ECU remap have increased output to 850 PS and 1,000 Nm.
The 0-100 km/h takes 3.5
seconds, the tuner claims, 1.0 seconds less than stock, and top speed has
increased from 220 km/h, or 240 km/h with AMG Driver’s
Pack, to 250 km/h.
The tuned G63 has the looks the match its
grunt, with Mansory going all out on the exterior, which features a wide body
conversion, complete with huge fender flares and widened doors. The hood,
bumpers, roof attachments, spare wheel holder and other parts are made of
carbon fiber, and the additional LED lights up front, 24-inch wheels shod in
sticky 295/30 tires, exhaust pipes and British Racing Green paint finish
complete the makeover.
The cockpit was reupholstered in brown
leather, which was applied all around, including in the rear cargo compartment,
while Mansory’s logo was embroidered in the seats and floor mats. The Gronos 2021 is limited to only 10 units
worldwide, and it’s already available to order. We found one for sale on Mobile
for € 560,160, including tax, which equals to just a little over US$ 665,000 at
today’s exchange rates. This means that the tuned G63 carries a € 400,000
(US$ 475,000) premium over the entry-level G63 in Germany, where it starts at
€ 160,680 (US$ 190,844), while in the States it’s priced from US$ 156,450.
