Mansory Transforms the Mercedes-AMG G 63 into the Gronos Coupe Evo C
Mansory has unveiled an extraordinary take on the Mercedes-AMG G 63, departing from conventional upgrades like exterior modifications and power enhancements. This iteration is a striking coupe version of the iconic 4×4, featuring rear-hinged doors that lend it a unique appeal.
The Gronos Coupe Evo C made its debut nearly two years ago, and since then, Mansory has showcased its design on social media. Recently, we came across car number one of just eight, highlighted in the video and photo gallery below.
One of the most notable changes is the vehicle’s exterior, which has been transformed to feature two doors instead of four (or five if you count the rear). The design includes reshaped rear fenders, larger three-quarter windows, and the aforementioned rear-hinged doors for a dramatic effect. Additional modifications include fold-out side steps, fender extensions, a new hood, updated front and rear bumpers, a distinctive grille, a large rear wing, fresh wheels, and a custom paint job that elegantly combines black and gold.
Inside, the Mansory Gronos Coupe Evo C continues the theme of luxury with abundant black Alcantara, accented by gold details. The interior is designed as a four-seater, featuring individual captain’s chairs in the rear separated by a large console, complete with custom embossing. A starlight headliner adds to the premium feel.
Originally, this pre-facelift Mercedes-AMG G 63 boasted 577 horsepower (585 PS) and 627 pound-feet (850 Nm) of torque. The 4.0L bi-turbo V8 allowed for a 0-62 mph (100 kph) sprint in just 4.5 seconds, with a quarter-mile time of 12.5 seconds at nearly 110 mph (177 kph), impressive for a vehicle of its stature.
After Mansory’s modifications, the V8 engine delivers significantly enhanced performance, with reported figures of 966 horsepower (980 PS) and 922 pound-feet (1,250 Nm) of torque. The Gronos Coupe Evo C can accelerate from 0-62 mph in just 3.3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 174 mph (280 kph). These numbers exceed Mansory’s initial estimates of 887 horsepower (900 PS) and 885 pound-feet (1,200 Nm).
If given the choice, would you prefer a Mansory-tuned Mercedes-AMG G 63 with its distinctive two-door rear-hinge design, or a stock G-Wagen with a more understated approach? Personally, I would choose the standard G 63 and likely make minimal modifications, perhaps only changing the wheels.
