Mansory G63 AMG Sahara Edition
My prophecy about Mansory building a new abomination was correct! (https://teamspeed.com/forums/aventad...est-level.html)
Behold the newest creation! 
We aren't sure if it's an unwritten rule or not, but it seems like European tuners are wholly incapable of building cars whose aesthetics don't offend people blessed with the gift of sight. Take Mansory, for example. The Swiss tuner has turned its hand to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, a vehicle that on it's own is not exactly a visual stunner. Functional sure, but not exactly beautiful. But with Mansory wielding the design pen, the result is, well, yeah. It's not great.
This is the Mansory G63 AMG Sahara Edition, and surprisingly, its camouflaged paint scheme is one of its least obnoxious qualities. But its grille, headlights, hood scoop, roof-mounted lights and rear spoiler just don't do this Mercedes any favors. And for some reason, the tuning firm has decided to put two different styles of 22-inch alloys. The driver's side isn't horrible, although we can't say the same about passenger-side hoops.
The interior treatment is nothing compared to the cabin, though. Falcons. There are falcons in the headrests. No, we don't know why either. The avian theme isn't limited to the headrests, though, as Mansory has added wings to the seats, dash and door panels, all the while continuing on with camouflage color scheme on certain interior surfaces.
Of course, if you can live with the design decisions, you'll be getting a ludicrously potent G-Wagen. Mansory has boosted the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V8 to 828 horsepower while it's actually been limited to 737 pound-feet of torque. We aren't sure what the addition of 292 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque does to the G63's run to 60, although we're betting the Mansory version is a lot quick than the 5.3-second stock time.

You people really need to stop bitching about Mansory. The fact that most of their clientele have absolutely horrible taste doesn't mean they don't have incredible skill and knowledge when it comes to performance tuning, interiors, aerodynamics and carbon-fiber work. Production wise they have more in common with Alpina, Brabus, Novitec & RUF than the average shitty tuner that once in a blue moon will produce a rear spoiler with shitty Chinese quality (cough*DMC*cough). Give that car a civilized paintjob & interior and you would all be drooling over it.
They are obviously a for-profit businesses, and as such they will build almost anything a client desires, even if that client qualifies for a darwin award.

Yes, is a good company with amazing products. Saldy most people doesnt agree with most of their design visions.
For example this G63: I love the left side rims sets looks so badass on a G-class. In my opinion need an off-road style bumper to match the "Sahara Desert theme" and finally lets be honest that eagle interior design just a small group of people would like it.
I´m a proud Mansory fan. Deal with it Teamspeed
