Just a few weeks after the successful launch of the "MANSORY Venatus Coupé EVO C", MANSORY is once again presenting a 2-door coupé based on a luxury off-roader, thus presenting two vehicles that are unique in the world within a very short space of time, which are End-vehicle customization is unparalleled when it comes to bodywork. Since, alongside the Lamborghini Urus, the Mercedes G-Class is one of the base vehicles most in demand for complete conversions in high-end vehicle customization, this step was obvious and was also longed for by loyal fans and buyers of the Mercedes G-Class expected.

Mercedes G-Class as "MANSORY Gronos Coupé EVO C" Coupé

As with the "MANSORY Venatus Coupé EVO C", the basic idea for building such a vehicle was brought to MANSORY by its customers several times as part of the "MANSORY Bespoke" conversion program. Both vehicles were designed, developed and made ready for series production at almost the same time. The entire process - from the complex planning and construction phase to the completion of the first vehicles - took about one and a half years in both cases. Similar to the "MANSORY Venatus Coupé EVO C", the "MANSORY Gronos Coupé EVO C" will also be a limited small series of eight units based on the "One of One" philosophy, according to which each vehicle is delivered as a one-off, for handpicked customers .

"As with our debut work, the "MANSORY Venatus Coupé EVO C", we are also very proud of the quality and the technically perfect implementation of all modifications with the "MANSORY Gronos Coupé EVO C". We now offer the G-Class from Mercedes in a large number of derivatives and the MANSORY coupé will certainly not be the last derivative of the G-Class to leave our factory.” says Kourosh Mansory, CEO and founder of MANSORY Design und Holding GmbH. "As with the "Venatus Coupé EVO C", the MANSORY company once again and very impressively demonstrates its high level of competence in the field of body construction with the "MANSORY Gronos Coupé EVO C" with the transformation of a standard 4-door vehicle into a 2-door coupé Proof.” Kourosh Mansory continued.

the BASE VEHICLE

One of the world's most popular luxury off-roaders from the premium brand Mercedes, which is in high demand on all markets worldwide, served as the base vehicle for this conversion:

The "G Class"

Within the MANSORY conversion program for the G-Class, the top version forms the basis for the "Gronos Coupé EVO C":

The Gronos EVO S

This is characterized, among other things, by the currently most powerful expansion stage with 900 hp & 1.200 Nm torque and a complete conversion that can be completely freely configured by the customer. It thus represents the perfect basis for creating a coupé from the four-door G-Class.

BODY – MODIFICATION

In order to convert the base vehicle from a 4-door configuration to a 2-door configuration, extensive body modifications have to be made. In a first step, the standard G-Class gets rid of all four doors. The B-pillar is then moved back to provide sufficient space for the front doors, which have grown to the same length. In this step, the door stops are also moved from the A to the B pillar. This conversion, which can only be seen from the outside at second glance, involves a great deal of technical and structural effort.

Not only do all of the door mounts have to be relocated from the A pillar to the B pillar in a mirror image, but the entire door opening technology, including the door handles, has to be repositioned in order to maintain the harmonious overall appearance of the car. All mechanical conversion measures are carried out while retaining the standard safety technology and all necessary optical conversion measures are carried out with great effort, some of which are completely new body parts and a subsequent new paint finish that is completely invisible. This is the only way that the conversion of the doors can be carried out in a way that is both visually pleasing and technically perfect. The "MANSORY Gronos Coupé EVO C" is also available in an armored version on special request - like all G-Class complete conversions from the MANSORY range.

RIMS | TIRE

With the "MANSORY Gronos Coupé EVO C" rims of the type "FD.15" are used for the first time. The respective sizes of the rims and tires correspond unchanged to the dimensions of the "Gronos EVO S" (tire size: 295/30R24 all around, rim size: 10×24 all around)

PERFORMANCE

The "MANSORY Gronos Coupé EVO C" is based on the most powerful variant of the MANSORY refinement program for the G-Class - the "Gronos EVO S" - and therefore also adopts its impressive performance data unchanged. Expressed in figures, this means an engine output of 900 hp and a powerful torque of no less impressive 1.200 Nm. The resulting performance data are 250 km/h (limited) and 3,3 s from 0 to 100 km/h.

INTERIORS

As with all MANSORY complete conversions, the interior can basically be freely selected in terms of the colours, the quilting and the carbon design. Due to the inevitable requirements when converting to a 2-door, the front seats are expanded by a folding mechanism compared to the standard seats, which makes access to the rear much easier and does not allow any serious loss of comfort compared to the 4-door.

The rear itself impresses with a luxurious individual seat system, which is combined with an individually configurable center console. Many other details, lovingly executed and of the highest quality - such as the seat belts with MANSORY logo, black anodized MANSORY sports aluminum pedals, a MANSORY leather sports steering wheel, elaborately quilted MANSORY leather floor mats, MANSORY lettering on the door handles and countless other detailed solutions make the "MANSORY Gronos Coupé EVO C" a very special vehicle. One that is capable of masterfully implementing individual customer wishes in every respect, including in the interior.
