The current Mercedes-Benz G-Class (W463A, in production from 2018) is already a status object the moment it leaves Graz. The Mansory Gronos programme takes that and goes one step further: full-carbon body conversion, hand-built in Brand-Erbisdorf, Germany, in a series limited to ten cars worldwide. The Gronos is finished in the signature British Racing Green with Forge-Carbon accents, paired with a Fawn Brown leather interior, and it has become one of the most recognisable Mansory builds of the W463A era — the kind of car that defines what Mansory means to the G-Class community.
The Gronos is the halo trim. For owners who want the full Mansory G-Class look without the limited-edition commitment, the wider G-WIDE programme covers the same chassis with a more flexible component list — see the Mansory G-Class W463A standard kit, the Mansory G-Class W463 Wide for the previous chassis, or the new Mansory Gronos for the W465 (latest G-Class).
The Gronos is sold as a complete vehicle conversion programme rather than a loose collection of carbon panels. Every visible-fibre part is autoclave-cured pre-preg carbon, finished in glossy visible weave or Forge Carbon depending on the position on the body.

Interior & finish:
The Gronos uses Mansory’s T200-grade pre-preg carbon, autoclave-cured to OEM standards. Visible weave is the default; Forge Carbon (the dark, marbled finish) is the Gronos signature on selected accent pieces. Hidden mounting flanges are reinforced FRP for daily-driver durability rather than show-only carbon. For owners who want the Gronos look at a more affordable cost — or who want every panel colour-matched to the body anyway — the same panels can be supplied in primed FRP. Replica fibreglass kits exist on the market starting around $3,000 a set, but the Mansory original at ex-works pricing is the only programme that comes with the genuine Gronos certification.
The Gronos is shown on Mansory forged wheels in 23″ and 24″ sizes, in either glossy black or two-tone with carbon-splitter. The G-Class W463A runs a 5×130 bolt pattern; alternative forged options at the right offset are available across our forged wheels collection. On the engine side, Mansory’s ECU and exhaust packages for the G63 AMG (4.0 V8 biturbo, M177 engine) can be specified alongside the Gronos body programme — these typically lift output above 700 hp, depending on country calibration.
The Gronos is engineered as a direct bolt-on conversion for the W463A G63 (2018+). The wider doors and fenders are designed to mount to the original hinges and inner structures — no permanent cuts to the original metal. A trained body shop will need 7–12 working days for the full Gronos conversion, including paint-prep on the panels and the British Racing Green finish if you choose to commit to the signature colour. The interior re-trim is normally handled by a coachbuilder in parallel and adds another 5–7 days.
Mansory has built body programmes for almost every modern G-Class generation. The Gronos sits at the top of the W463A range:
The W463A has become the benchmark luxury off-roader, and Mansory’s response to it is the Gronos: a full-carbon, full-leather, full-paint programme limited to ten cars worldwide. The signature British Racing Green and Fawn Brown combination is what sets the Gronos apart from every other Mansory G-Class build — it is a deliberate, archive-worthy combination, not a configurator option.

Order traffic for the Mansory Mercedes G Class W463a Gronos clusters around a handful of markets in 2026. Greater China and the Asia-Pacific cluster — Hong Kong, Singapore — order via specialised RHD/LHD distributors. The European footprint is led by Switzerland and Austria, with specialist body shops in the United Kingdom servicing local fitment. Nordic orders — Norway, Sweden — favour winter-tyre-compatible wheel offsets bundled with the kit. All routes use insured logistics with destination-side customs clearance pre-prepared.
Is the Gronos really limited to 10 cars?
The signature Gronos series — British Racing Green with Fawn Brown leather, full carbon body, individual numbering — is a series of ten. The Gronos panels themselves can be specified in other colour combinations, and there are related Gronos variants (Algoritmo, Black Desert, 6x6) that sit alongside the original ten.
Will the Gronos panels fit my G350 / G500 / G550 / G63 W463A?
Yes. The Gronos kit mounts to the W463A body shell, which is shared across G350, G400d, G500, G550 and G63 in the current generation. We confirm exact panel SKUs against your VIN before shipping.
Can I order single parts (roof wing only, spare wheel cover only)?
Yes. Several Gronos parts are available individually, including the visible-carbon roof wing, the spare wheel cover frame and the G63 engine cover side parts.
Carbon vs FRP — what should I choose?
Pick visible carbon if you want the iconic Mansory weave finish (the Gronos signature). Pick FRP if you plan to colour-match every panel to the body — it costs less and the result is identical once painted.
What wheel options work with the wider Gronos fenders?
Mansory’s own forged wheels in 23″ and 24″, plus most options in the forged wheels collection, can be configured for the W463A 5×130 bolt pattern with the correct offsets to clear the wider fenders.
How does Gronos compare to Brabus G-Class programmes?
Different philosophy. Mansory leads on visual width and carbon finish; Brabus leads on engine output and historical badge equity in the AMG community. We cover this in detail in the Mansory vs Brabus G-Class blog post.
