Mansory has revealed its latest Grand Entrée creation, a heavily modified Mercedes-AMG G 63 featuring forged carbon fibre bodywork, turquoise leather interior, and an 820 hp twin-turbo V8.

Mansory has unveiled its latest Grand Entrée build, a Mercedes-AMG G 63 transformed with forged carbon fibre bodywork, a turquoise leather cabin, and an upgraded 820 hp twin-turbo V8. The German tuner's creation is one of just eight Grand Entrée models planned, making it one of the most outlandish G-Wagens on the road.
The Grand Entrée programme has been running for several years, with production capped at eight units in total. This latest example takes the already dramatic G 63 and pushes it further into the realm of automotive theatre, where the appeal of the boxy off-roader lies less in its trio of locking differentials or off-road credentials and more in its design and the status of owning one.
At the front, the G 63 receives new air intakes, LED daytime running lights, a customised grille, and a bespoke hood. Most of these components are finished in forged carbon fibre, a material that continues along the flanks of the vehicle, including the flared wheel arches. Those arches incorporate dramatic air vents and sit alongside forged carbon door skins and powered side steps.
The lower half of the body is finished in carbon, while the upper section is painted in matte silver. A teal pinstripe separates the two finishes, tying together the visual identity of the build. The G 63 rides on huge 24-inch wheels with a black and teal design, and new side-exit exhausts add to the aggressive stance.
Further back, Mansory has fitted a new forged carbon light cluster to the roof, along with a large wing. A new spare wheel carrier, diffuser, and bumper complete the exterior transformation. As with other Grand Entrée models, coach doors are featured at the rear, lending the SUV a distinctive silhouette.
The interior has been equally transformed. Almost all cabin surfaces are bathed in turquoise leather, including the seats, centre console, dashboard, door panels, and headliner. Carbon fibre accents are liberally applied throughout, maintaining the visual link with the exterior's forged carbon elements.
No Mansory project would be complete without performance modifications. The Grand Entrée is equipped with the tuner's P820 package, which raises output from the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 to 820 hp and 848 lb-ft (1,150 Nm) of torque. That represents a substantial increase over the standard G 63, which already delivers formidable performance.
The Grand Entrée series has become a signature for Mansory, a company known for its controversial but head-turning projects. While the G-Class remains a favourite among aftermarket tuners seeking to make the boxy SUV even more dramatic, few have matched Mansory's ability to generate attention. The latest build continues that tradition, combining extreme materials, bold colour choices, and significant power upgrades in a package limited to just eight examples worldwide.
