Rear wing 2 Mansory Carbon for Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S Coupe

Mansory Rear Wing 2 — Carbon for Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S Coupé (C190)

The Mansory Rear Wing 2 for the Mercedes-AMG GT (C190) is the alternative, lower-profile take on the rear-deck signature within the Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S Coupe. Where the primary swan-neck rear wing makes a clear motorsport statement above the deck, this Rear Wing 2 sits flatter on the boot lid as a deck-lid lip — closer in spirit to a Black Series-era functional spoiler than to a GT3 customer-racing pylon. It is for the owner who wants the carbon weave and the visual closure of the long-bonnet / cab-rearward C190 silhouette, but without committing to the full swan-neck statement above the rear haunches that sit over the rear-mounted DCT transaxle.

Construction & Materials

Rear Wing 2 is built as a single carbon shell mounted directly to the OEM deck-lid, with the underside laid out so the airflow that leaves the rear glass is given a clean trailing edge before it sees the rear bumper and diffuser. The lip section, the side terminations and the underside vane are co-laminated and cured together, so visually you read one continuous piece rather than a wing-and-pylon assembly. Mansory finishes the part either as deep-gloss lacquered twill or, on request, as exposed weave with UV-stable matte clear — the same finish family as the rest of the C190 carbon programme.

• 3K twill prepreg outer skin, with a 2K plain weave option on request
• Autoclave cure under controlled vacuum — no print-through at the side terminations
• Wall thickness ~2.6–3.0 mm at the root, tapering to ~1.6–1.8 mm at the trailing lip
• Total weight ~1.6–2.1 kg depending on whether the optional Gurney lip is integrated
• Mounting via OEM deck-lid hard points plus structural bonding — no swan-neck pylons drilled through the boot lid
• Marine-grade stainless threaded inserts, EPDM gasket pads at the contact patches
• Finish: deep-gloss UV-stable lacquer (default) or matte clear over exposed weave; gloss black painted finish available
• Carbon weave aligned longitudinally along the deck — visual lines run with the long-bonnet axis of the C190

Design & Visual Function

The whole point of Rear Wing 2 is the trade-off it offers against the swan-neck primary wing. The primary rear wing stands proud of the deck on swan-neck mounts, prioritising clean leading-edge airflow and a visible motorsport posture; you read it from a distance and you read it from the side. Rear Wing 2 is the road-flavoured counterpart: it stays closer to the deck-lid plane, follows the C190's existing rear shoulder line, and lets the wide rear haunches do the visual work. From three-quarter rear, it reads as a tightening of the existing OEM ducktail rather than as an addition.

Aerodynamically the brief is honest. A deck-lid lip cannot match the absolute downforce of a stand-alone swan-neck wing — the air it works on is already partly attached to the deck-lid surface, and the angle of attack is constrained by the deck contour itself. What it does very well is clean the trailing edge: it gives the wake a defined separation line, reduces lift over the rear axle at sustained autobahn speeds, and balances against the front splitter and diffuser without forcing the front end to chase a high-downforce rear. For an owner who specifies the diffuser for OEM rear bumper alongside Rear Wing 2, the rear-end aero reads as one calibrated layer rather than two competing statements.

On a GT S Coupé the wing reads as a quiet, technically honest piece — the kind of thing a track-day owner pulls over a swan-neck for daily use, because they want the M178 V8 BiTurbo's exhaust note and the long-bonnet proportions to be the headline rather than the wing.

Compatibility & Fitment

Designed for the Mercedes-AMG GT (C190): GT, GT S, GT C, GT R, GT R Pro and Black Series, Coupé primary fitment. Not compatible with the 4-door AMG GT 63 (X290) — that car is a separate platform with its own deck-lid geometry and its own Mansory programme. Rear Wing 2 is designed to mount to the OEM Coupé deck-lid hard points; the centre-high-mounted brake light, OEM rear glass DRL feed (where present), and rear-view camera (where fitted) are retained. Roadster owners should confirm fitment with their installer — the soft-top stack and Roadster deck-lid contour may require a model-specific spec. Type-approval / TÜV-style documentation: the part is sold as a styling/functional carbon component; owners in jurisdictions that require homologation paperwork for any deck-lid addition should confirm local rules with their dealer or club before installation, because deck-lid rework rules vary widely.

OEM exhaust note from the M178 hot-V V8 BiTurbo is untouched (the wing is rear-deck only). AIRPANEL active underbody aero on the GT R is not affected, and OEM parking sensor coverage is untouched. Pre-facelift cars (Diamond grille) and facelift cars (Panamericana grille) both accept Rear Wing 2 — unlike the front grille branding parts, the rear deck-lid did not change visually with the facelift.

Installation & Reversibility

Rear Wing 2 is a clean, low-risk install relative to a swan-neck wing — there are no through-deck pylons, no structural drilling into the boot lid skin from outside. Bench time: 2–4 hours including OEM paint prep, primer-line cleaning, alignment dry-fit and final torque. Tools: trim tools, isopropyl panel-prep, structural automotive adhesive (kit-supplied), masking film, plastic shims, torque driver. Owners who already specify the wing as part of a wider Mansory package should plan it together with the diffuser fit: a 4–6 hour combined session with the same installer protects panel alignment between the two.

Reversibility: the part is mounted with OEM hard-point fasteners and structural bonding. Removal is possible with a heat-line technique that releases the bond without damaging the OEM deck-lid paint, if performed by a body shop trained on adhesive-bonded carbon panels. Recommended installer: AMG-certified body shop or Mansory-trained installer; DIY install is not advisable on a GT R / Black Series.

Pairing within the Mansory AMG GT programme

Rear Wing 2 is most often specified with the diffuser for OEM rear bumper, so the rear-end carbon reads as one continuous treatment from deck-lid lip down to underbody vanes. Owners who want to keep the option of switching aesthetics later sometimes order both rear-wing variants and rotate them with the season — Rear Wing 2 for road-and-show months, the more aggressive rear wing for trackday weekends. To finish the wide-body silhouette beneath the rear shoulders, the side skirts tie the rear haunches into the lower body line, which keeps Rear Wing 2's flatter posture from looking under-specified next to a fully kitted front end.

Maintenance & Durability

Lacquered carbon on a deck-lid trailing edge is in one of the kinder zones on the car — there is little gravel pickup, the rain run-off comes off the rear glass and over the lip rather than impacting it, and the part is high enough off the ground to avoid kerbing. A two-bucket pH-neutral wash schedule is more than enough; ceramic coating extends UV stability of the lacquer noticeably and is recommended for owners who park outside. Avoid alkaline wheel cleaners migrating onto the part, ammonia-based glass cleaners on the trailing edge, and abrasive sponges. PPF over the leading face of the lip is sensible for owners who track the car, since track debris kicked up from the car ahead can hit the deck-lid edge at speed.

If a chip occurs, lacquered panels are repairable: a trained carbon-finish shop can flat the area, blend new lacquer and re-polish without losing weave. Exposed-weave matte versions are slightly more forgiving of minor handling marks; UV refresh on matte clear is recommended every two to three seasons. The wing carries no electrical load — no LED, no driver, no standstill power draw.

Lead Time & Warranty

Lead time is 4–8 weeks from confirmed order, in line with Mansory's bespoke production cadence for C190 carbon parts. Each Rear Wing 2 is laid up to order in the chosen weave and finish. A 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects is included from delivery, with finish-grade inspection at hand-off.

FAQ

Q: How does Rear Wing 2 differ from the primary Mansory rear wing for the C190?
A: The primary rear wing is a swan-neck-style wing that stands proud of the deck-lid on visible pylons, prioritising downforce posture and motorsport silhouette. Rear Wing 2 is a deck-lid lip — flatter, lower-profile, mounted to the deck-lid plane, more road-flavoured. Same carbon programme, different visual brief.

Q: Will Rear Wing 2 fit my GT R / GT R Pro / Black Series that already has an OEM rear wing?
A: Yes for visual fitment, but you'll need to remove the OEM swan-neck wing first and address the OEM mounting holes in the deck-lid (your installer will guide on either delete plates or a deck-lid skin solution). Rear Wing 2 is designed to sit on a clean deck-lid surface.

Q: Coupé only, or can I fit it to a GT Roadster?
A: Coupé is the primary fitment. Roadster owners should confirm with their installer because the soft-top stack and Roadster deck-lid contour differ from the Coupé and a model-specific spec confirmation is needed before order.

Q: Pre-facelift Diamond grille car (2014–2017) — is the wing OK?
A: Yes. The 2017 facelift changed the front (Panamericana grille) but the rear deck-lid geometry stayed substantially the same, so Rear Wing 2 fits both pre- and post-facelift C190 Coupés.

Q: How much downforce does it add at autobahn speeds?
A: Honest answer: less than the swan-neck primary wing, but enough to clean the trailing edge wake and reduce rear-axle lift versus a stock deck-lid. It's a balance part, not a maximum-downforce part. If your priority is peak rear downforce, specify the primary rear wing.

Q: Can I switch between Rear Wing 2 and the swan-neck primary wing later?
A: It's possible — both parts mount to the OEM deck-lid hard points, with the primary swan-neck additionally using its pylon footprint. Plan it as a body-shop session, not a roadside swap, because each install involves paint-line prep and bonded contact zones.
