IDEA
Every variant of the G-Class basically offers excellent off-road capability, which customers use significantly more often than with classic SUVs. The “MANSORY Gronos 4×4” presented last year was able to raise the maximum possible off-road capability of a G-Class to a new level. With the “MANSORY Gronos 6×6” this level – the possible extreme use in off-road areas – is raised significantly and is reaching another, even higher level.
BODY | CHASSIS
After this complete conversion, the body styling of the “MANSORY Gronos 6×6” impresses both visually and technically. “As with the “MANSORY Gronos Coupé EVO C”, we are very proud of the quality and the perfect craftsmanship of all body modifications and we are once again and very impressively demonstrating our high level of expertise in the field of body construction,” says Kourosh Mansory, CEO of MANSORY Design & Holding GmbH.
The conversion of a standard Mercedes G63 into a pickup truck with a double cab is generally carried out while retaining the original design language.
If desired, individual carbon parts can now be installed on every MANSORY complete conversion, the design of which can be determined by the customer.
Since most customers like to use the G-Class with passengers in the rear, rear-hinged rear doors are also installed in this complete conversion. This conversion makes access to the rear easier and therefore offers the best possible entry comfort, in keeping with the motto “New Access of Luxury”.
This conversion, which can only be seen from the outside at second glance, involves a lot of technical and structural effort. Not only do the door mounts from the B-pillar to the C-pillar have to be moved in mirror image, but the entire door opening technology including the door handles also has to be repositioned in order to maintain the harmonious appearance of the car.
All mechanical conversions are carried out while maintaining the standard safety technology and all necessary optical conversions are carried out completely invisibly with great effort, some of which are completely new body parts and subsequent repainting. This is the only way it is possible for the rear door conversion to be both visually pleasing and technically perfect.
Widened step strips and carbon add-on parts from the “Gronos conversion program” installed all around the vehicle complement this complete conversion into a harmonious whole.
However, impact protection devices mounted in front of the aprons specifically for tough off-road use strictly differentiate the “MANSORY Gronos 6×6” from the other G-Class conversion programs from MANSORY.
If desired, individual carbon parts can now be installed on every MANSORY complete conversion, the design of which can be determined by the customer.
With the four LED additional headlights mounted on the roof and a cable winch at the front, further special accessories can be used for tough off-road use.
In the area of the chassis, the installation of an additional axle means that no less complex modifications are necessary and here, too, the engineers from MANSORY can impressively demonstrate their high level of technical expertise.
A newly developed and at the same time massively reinforced front axle, portal gears on all axles and also the lockable differentials in the longitudinal and transverse directions on the third (additional) axle should also be mentioned.
A special chassis with high-performance shock absorbers complements the high technical standard of the “MANSORY Gronos 6×6” and in combination results in a perfect overall package for maximum off-road mobility. It also gains 250mm in and width.
Thanks to its frame extension, the length of the vehicle increases by an impressive 1,375 mm. The “MANSORY Gronos 6×6” is also – like all G-Class complete conversions from the MANSORY program – available in an armoured version upon special request.
RIMS | TIRES
Depending on customer requirements, the “MANSORY Gronos 6×6” can be delivered with on-road or off-road tires (or, of course, with both sets of wheels if desired). In the case of road tires, type “YN.5” rims in size 10×22 with Pirelli tires type “Scorpion ATR” in size 325/55 22 are used.
For the best possible off-road performance off-road tires size 37×12.50×20 are mounted on rims size 9×20. Thanks to an integrated tire inflation system with a high-performance compressor and a control unit in the cockpit, the air pressure in all six tires can be adjusted to the respective terrain conditions at any time – and this all without getting out of the vehicle.
PERFORMANCE
Thanks to various modifications to the drive train, the “MANSORY Gronos 6×6” has a superior 900 hp and a powerful torque of 1,200 Nm. In detail, the primary features are a new exhaust gas turbocharger with an increased boost pressure of up to 3.45 bar, a new intercooler, two high-pressure fuel pumps, adapted engine, transmission and CPC software, a sports air filter and a sports exhaust for the impressive increase in standard performance by 315 hp (and plus 400 Nm).
INTERIOR
As with all MANSORY complete conversions, the interior can generally be freely chosen in terms of leather, colors, quilting and carbon design.
The refinement of the interior corresponds in type and extent to a classic complete conversion from MANSORY.
A special highlight is the roof lining, which is equipped with more than 3,000 LEDs and is installed at the customer’s request and can be individually selected by each customer in terms of design and execution.
Many lovingly executed details with the highest craftsmanship quality – such as the seat belts with embroidered MANSORY logo, MANSORY sports aluminum pedals, a MANSORY leather sports steering wheel, elaborately quilted MANSORY leather floor mats, MANSORY lettering in the grab handles, and countless other detailed solutions – make the “MANSORY Gronos 6×6” a very special vehicle that can masterfully implement customer wishes in every respect, including in the interior.
All changes to the interior of the “MANSORY Gronos 6×6” offer a unique ambience for the highest demands, even in a vehicle designed for extreme off-road mobility.
