Excluding the other-worldly 6×6, the Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4² is about as ludicrous as a stock off-roader can get. Combining the brutish body of the G-Class with a host of beefed up components and a towering suspension system, the car truly is unlike any other.

Not intimidated by its out-of-the-box insanity, tuning specialists Mansory have unveiled their tuning kit for the SUV, making it look even brawnier and threatening.

For starters, Mansory has adorned the 4×4² with a bespoke front end including carbon fiber headlight surrounds, a carbon grille and a carbon hood with a protruding air intake. Additionally, a set of new LED daytime running lights on either side of the aluminum skid plate have been added.

The carbon fiber parts continue across the sides with new wheel arches, door trim and door handles and a set of electric side steps. The rear is then completed with carbon taillight bezels and surprise surprise, carbon badging.

By comparison, the interior remains fairly subdued and only includes some reupholstered seats and some extra carbon fiber and aluminum trim.

Complementing the outrageous new look is a new ECU that lifts power from the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 to 479 hp and 710 Nm (524 lb-ft of torque), up some 63 hp and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) from stock.
