Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Mercedes S-class W222

MANSORY for the Mercedes S-Class W222 — the pre-facelift sixth-generation flagship in carbon

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class W222 is the sixth-generation S-Class sedan, in production from late 2013 through to the 2017 facelift. Mansory's pre-facelift programme on this page is the wide carbon body conversion dimensioned to the original W222 bumper architecture — the front and rear bumpers, the lower-fascia geometry, the AMG-line lower trim and the OEM lighting graphics that ran from launch to the 2017 facelift. After the facelift, the front and rear bumpers were reshaped and AMG S 63 moved from the M157 5.5-litre V8 to the M177 4.0-litre biturbo V8; that car runs a separate W222 facelift kit.

Sister-cars in the W222 family on Hodoor: the two-door C217 Coupé wide-body, the soft-top A217 Cabriolet and the soft-overlay C217/A217 facelift soft kit. The current generation of the S-Class catalogue moves to the W223 sedan programme; the long-wheelbase Maybach S-Class lives at the Maybach S-Class card. The platform background sits at the Wikipedia W222 entry.

Donor coverage — the full Mercedes engine ladder of the era

The pre-facelift W222 covered an unusually broad engine spread because Mercedes was still selling V12s in volume during this generation. Mansory's body kit fits all four AMG-line and standard-line donors:

• S 500 / S 500 4MATIC — M278 4.7-litre biturbo V8, 455 hp / 700 Nm, 7G-TRONIC PLUS / 9G-TRONIC. 0-100 km/h: 4.8 s. Body kit fits; no Powerbox catalogued.
• S 600 — M275 6.0-litre biturbo V12, 530 hp / 830 Nm, 7G-TRONIC PLUS. 0-100 km/h: 4.4 s. Body kit fits; no Powerbox on the V12.
• AMG S 63 (4MATIC) — M157 5.5-litre biturbo V8, 585 hp / 900 Nm, AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7G. 0-100 km/h: 4.0 s (3.7 s with Mansory module). Full body kit + optional Powerbox + sport exhaust catalogued; module raises output to approximately 700 hp / 1,050 Nm.
• AMG S 65 — M279 6.0-litre biturbo V12, 630 hp / 1,000 Nm, AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7G. 0-100 km/h: 4.2 s. Body kit fits; no Powerbox on the V12.

SWB and LWB L variants share kit hardpoints — the side skirt is a single SKU with an LWB centre-section extension that ships sealed on SWB orders. The Maybach X222 stretch sedan does not fit because its rear-door cutline shifts back; Maybach owners route to the W223-generation Maybach kit.

What the wide kit ships — full panel schedule

Comprehensive bonded carbon conversion. Front and rear bumpers replace at the OEM mounting points; bonnet replaces at the OEM hinge points; fenders are cut back at factory seams and the bonded carbon flares add width. Hand-laid 2x2 twill weave on visible aerodynamic pieces; PU-RIM composite on the bumper and flare bodies. None of the carbon panels cross the rear-door cutline (this is exactly what limits applicability to the Maybach X222).

• Replacement front bumper in full carbon — revised intake geometry, integrated splitter, brake-cooling cuts dimensioned for AMG-spec brakes; OEM headlight pass-through retained for both standard W222 and AMG-line headlamps.
• Vented carbon bonnet replacing the OEM aluminium bonnet, with a pair of functional NACA cuts above the M278 / M157 / M275 / M279 plenum.
• Bonded fender flares at +28 mm per side at the front axle and +35 mm per side at the rear, dimensioned to clear the matched 22" forged stagger.
• Carbon side strakes and lower side skirts — the SKU runs the full rocker line; LWB owners get the centre-section extension activated, SWB owners run the same skirt with the centre panel sealed.
• Replacement rear bumper assembly in full carbon — integrated diffuser; twin-tip exhaust cutout for S 500 / S 600, quad-tip cutout for AMG S 63 / AMG S 65. Donor-specific SKU split here only.
• Carbon deck-lid spoiler integrated into the OEM deck-lid line — subtle, in keeping with the sedan's flagship register rather than the C217's GT register.
• Mirror caps and side-window mouldings in visible weave; OEM electrical functions retained.

Body-shop fitment runs 11-14 working days. The kit's front bumper has a re-routed radar pocket that keeps DISTRONIC operation without recalibration; ultrasonic parking sensors fit the OEM pre-cut pattern.

Powerbox + sport exhaust — AMG S 63 only on this catalogue

The Mansory Powerbox is offered on the AMG S 63 (M157 biturbo V8) only. Stock 585 hp / 900 Nm rises to roughly 700 hp / 1,050 Nm with the module plus valved sport exhaust. S 65 (M279 V12), S 600 (M275 V12) and S 500 (M278) are not catalogued for a Powerbox — the V12s run too close to thermal limit and the M278 luxury tune does not accept piggyback gains gracefully. S 65 / S 600 / S 500 owners after power deltas route through Brabus, Renntech or MEC Design.

M-series 22" forged — matched stagger for the heavier rear axle

The matched fitment is the Mansory M-series fully forged 22" wheel in stagger sizing optimised for the W222's heavier V12 rear axle. PCD 5x112, CB 66.5 mm, 22x9.0J ET+38 front, 22x10.5J ET+30 rear; 265/35 R22 front, 295/30 R22 rear. Patterns M.7, FD.16, YN.5 in diamond black, polished silver, gun metal and Mansory bronze. Trims ~5 kg unsprung per corner against AMG cast wheels and clears the OEM AMG ceramic-composite brakes on S 63 / S 65 without spacers. Range at forgedwheels.

Cabin programme — broader sedan-flagship trim language

The W222 cabin set is broader than on the C217 two-door: carbon door inlays, centre-stack surround, shift-paddle backings, rear-console carbon (LWB only), embroidered Mansory headrests, optional fully quilted nappa in any specified colour, contrast piping. The bespoke retrim is invoiced via Mansory Brand-Lab. OEM rear-cabin executive options (dual-screen, console fridge, recline seats) carry through unchanged.

Country corridor — where W222 commissions land in 2026

2026 commissions concentrate around AMG S 63 donors with Powerbox specified, plus second-owner LWB cars in the GCC.

• UAE — Dubai/Abu Dhabi: largest share, AMG S 63 LWB with Powerbox + diamond-black 22" forged.
• Qatar — Doha favours S 600 V12 LWB body-and-wheels only (no Powerbox on V12).
• Saudi Arabia — Riyadh/Jeddah AMG S 65 V12, OEM Obsidian Black with gun-metal forged.
• Tsar lane — strong CIS AMG S 63 LWB demand, Powerbox bundled in ~50% of commissions.
• Turkey — Istanbul AMG S 63 SWB body-and-wheels paired at first install.
• Hong Kong — chauffeured S 600 LWB, calmer body-only spec without deck spoiler.
• UK — Mayfair/Surrey: AMG S 63 SWB, often retaining OEM 21" AMG forged.

FAQ

Will this kit fit my W222 facelift S 63?
No. The 2017 facelift introduced reshaped front and rear bumpers, and the AMG S 63 moved from M157 to M177 4.0 biturbo V8. The pre-facelift kit on this page does not align on facelift bumpers. Facelift cars run a separate Mansory part-number set on the dedicated W222 facelift product page.

Does the kit fit a Maybach S 600 X222?
No. The Maybach X222 is a stretched sedan with an extended rear door — the door cutline shifts back and the rear-door panel itself is a different stamping. The Mansory W222 kit cannot bridge that geometry. Maybach owners route to the W223 Maybach kit, which is the current Mansory programme for the Maybach line.

Can I run only the bumpers and bonnet without the wide-fender flares?
Yes. The kit is offered as either the full wide-body conversion or as a body-side-only / individual-parts spec. Bonded flares are the most permanent intervention; reversible builds skip the flares and run only bumpers, bonnet and skirts.

Is the Powerbox safe on the M157 in S 63 trim?
Yes. The M157 5.5 biturbo V8 is robust — the same block runs higher boost in CL 63, SL 63 and E 63 S applications. The Mansory Powerbox at +110 hp sits within tuning headroom and is reversible (no ECU re-flash). Service intervals are unchanged in customer feedback after multiple ownership cycles.

Does the conversion affect AIRMATIC?
No. The carbon parts are body-only — AIRMATIC struts, active body roll control and the road-scanning camera mount are untouched. The 22" forged set sits between OEM 19" cast and OEM 20" AMG forged on unsprung mass; AIRMATIC handles the change without recalibration. Optional Mansory-tuned AIRMATIC lowering modules are available at order time.
