It was mentioned in a previous article that the 2020 Geneva Motor Show was canceled because of the outbreak of the Coronavirus that was already ravishing Europe and Switzerland. Nevertheless, this did not impede car manufacturers from all over the world from introducing their just-made models online.
The tuning segment has also brought some fresh products, and one of them comes from the renowned German tuner firm Mansory. Mansory is famous for its projects on BMW models, especially on the X5 or the X6. Besides BMW, the tuning company also deals with other German carmakers, like Mercedes-Benz.
So, here we are with the brand-new 2020 Mercedes-AMG G63 taking its aftermarket share of goodies at the exterior as well as under the hood. And I have to tell you that the whole deal is worth a lot of money, which is almost $360K.
Mansory took social media by storm with its latest creation, the tuner adding an eye-catching carbon fiber body kit as well as an impressive power stage under the hood.
Exterior Changes
The technicians from Mansory wrapped the car`s exterior with a flamboyant kit, consisting of a new front and rear bumper made of carbon fiber, along with huge fender flares to fit the big wheels, and a new hood scoop. Other carbon fiber elements can be seen on the extra parts of the four fenders and front doors, or on the roof attachments. There is also the black Panamericana grille, as well as the two-tone mirror caps with red accents. The entire kit is complemented with a new set of 24-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels.
Massive Power Under The Hood
Powering the stock 2020 Mercedes-AMG G63 is a massive 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 585 PS and 430kW, which enables a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, which is mind-blowing…that at a top speed of just 220 km/h.
With the tuner`s new power kit, the juice has been raised to a whopping 720 PS (710 HP) and 530 kW, which makes it even faster. Unfortunately, the performance figures are not given, however, we guess around 4.2 seconds, a significant improvement from the stock.
Mechanically, this 2020 Mercedes-AMG G63 has not received new aftermarket goodies. Even so, it proves to be highly advanced with the stock suspension system, which comes with a semi-independent setup at the front; the rear end features a rigid setup, together providing a better stance and grip. There is also the body-on-frame chassis that it stands on, now wider and longer and providing 55 percent more stiffness than the previous model.
As for the price, it was already mentioned – it stands at a whopping $361,327, which is almost double the MSRP of the standard model in Germany. However, those who are not satisfied with the stock features can always resort to such drastic customizations. After all, we are dealing with a top-notch model from Mercedes-Benz, the AMG division.
Mansory isn’t the only aftermarket firm to show up with a customized and extremely expensive G63 at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show. We are dealing here with Brabus, the tuning division of Daimler, which also deals with extreme customizations. The same 2020 G63 has received around 789 horsepower and a lot of new visuals; however, the price is much higher – $426,851. This project is called the 800 Adventure XLP by Brabus and is actually an extended G63 with a bed right behind it. But we will talk about that in a future article.
Meanwhile, take a look at Mansory’s new take on the brand-new 2020 Mercedes-AMG G63 and tell us what you think about the project!
