Monster - Onyx Concept G6 Bodykit on Mercedes GLE (C292)

Forget that ART tuning GLE, and forget that, too Hamann GLE - here comes one of the at least the format of the Prior Design PDG800X Has. The guys from ONXY Concept, based in London and the USA, completed the ONYX G6 CONCEPT a few months ago and the team from RACE! SOUTH AFRICA has equipped a GLE with the components. In our opinion, this is the most extreme body kit we've seen for the GLE Coupe so far. Already ex works, the GLE with its almost 5 meters length and over 2 meters width is definitely anything but restrained, but what the ONYX Carbon Bodykit makes of it is pure madness. If you had to compare the GLE with an animal and immediately remember the Triceratops dinosaur. Somehow the GLE also looks like the controversial genus of pelvic dinosaurs from the group of Ceratopsidae.

The only thing missing is the horns! But now to the body kit: In front there is a completely newly developed bumper with huge air intakes and an integrated front spoiler that merges seamlessly with the much widened fenders including gills. The side skirts are also completely redesigned and adapt optimally to the shape of the large wheel arch extensions. And of course, the side walls are also significantly widened at the back, here too, the widenings are in one piece with the bodywork and not on top as often seen in the many Liberty Walk Bodykits. And the rear is completely transformed because here there was a huge bumper of course adapted to the shape of the widened wheel arches at the rear and also has large air vents and an integrated diffuser. The body kit also includes a spoiler lip for the boot lid which is probably the most discreet component of the new aerodynamic parts.

The fact that the GLE has a brilliant white finish and the new components are also equipped with a lot of carbon fiber makes the appearance even more powerful. In the other pictures (at the bottom) you can see that the body kit is less effective when everything is in black. And the amethyst alloy wheels in 23 inches come from the tuner ONYX and are painted glossy black on this vehicle. Due to a subtle lowering, the new wheel set sits optimally in the wheel arch and fills the wide wheel arches perfectly. The extreme project is rounded off by many black details such as the roof, the exterior mirrors, the radiator grille or the ONYX lettering and the black Mercedes star on the rear. For us this GLE is definitely an absolute highlight and the owner is likely to attract a lot of attention, especially in South Africa. If we get more information about the modifications, there will of course, as always, be an update for this report.

Transformation into a monster

The Onyx Mercedes GLE sets new standards in the car tuning world with the ONYX G6 CONCEPT body kit. Not only does it have bold dimensions, but it also comes in a white paintwork, combined with glossy black details and 23 inch Amethyst aluminum rims from ONYX, which fit perfectly into the widened wheel arches. From the completely redesigned front to the rear, made of carbon, the car impresses with a mix of elegance and power. Special features include the huge air inlets, the integrated front spoiler and a rear diffuser. The GLE clearly stands out from the rest and seems to be particularly causing a stir in South Africa. For the Mercedes Onyx G6 price (Mercedes GLE Onyx price) no information has been provided yet.

The ONYX lettering on the tailgate, which indicates the extensive aerodynamic package, is easy to recognize.
