Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Mercedes V-class New
MANSORY for the MERCEDES V-CLASS W447 FACELIFT — the Body and Cabin Programme Targeted at VIP-Shuttle and Chauffeured-Limousine Operators Rather Than Retail Buyers
The Mansory V-class is one of the few products in the catalogue that is built almost exclusively for fleet operators rather than for individual end-buyers. The reason is the use case: the V-class W447 is the European luxury VIP-shuttle of choice, the airport-to-hotel transfer vehicle in Geneva, Monte-Carlo, Zurich, London, Munich and Milan, and the on-set transport for the European film and television industry. The Mansory programme exists to give those operators a vehicle that reads as bespoke without leaving the operational envelope of a fleet asset.
Catalogued here is the kit for the 2019+ W447 facelift — the second-cycle V-class with the revised front fascia (new diamond-pattern grille, repositioned LED daytime running lights, updated bumper geometry), the OM654 four-cylinder diesel as the volume powertrain, and the OM656 inline-six diesel as the higher-tier alternative.
What this kit really is
Two parallel things, specifiable together or separately:
1. The exterior body programme. Restrained carbon work that lifts the V-class read from "premium MPV" to "named-edition luxury vehicle". Operators specify this when the V-class needs to compete on visual brief with the Maybach S-class or the Cullinan as the airport-arrival vehicle. The body programme alone is a ~3-week order-to-delivery lead time once allocation is confirmed.
2. The full VIP cabin conversion. A separate-scope project that strips the standard V-class rear cabin and rebuilds it as a 4-seat or 6-seat captain-chair lounge with privacy partition wall, ambient lighting, refrigerated bar, monitor screens, and bespoke leather and wood retrim. Operators specify this when the V-class is being commissioned as a VIP-shuttle asset rather than a 7-seater family vehicle. The cabin conversion alone is a 14-16 week project.
Most fleet commissions specify both, configured together, with the cabin conversion adapted to the operator's brand standards (corporate-livery leather colours, embroidery, screen-content branding, partition-glass etching).
Carbon programme — exterior
| Front fascia | Replacement carbon front bumper with deeper splitter, integrated lower air-curtain channels, brake-cooling intakes; carbon grille surround dimensioned for the 2019 facelift's diamond-pattern grille |
| Bonnet | Optional vented carbon bonnet panels — specified only on OM656 inline-six donors; OM654 four-cylinder donors do not require thermal extraction |
| Sides | Carbon side skirts with integrated longitudinal blade and recessed step-illumination strip on operator-spec builds; carbon mirror caps; carbon B-pillar trim |
| Fenders | Bonded carbon front fender extensions (+15 mm per side) and rear (+20 mm per side); specified only on full-body commissions |
| Rear fascia | Replacement carbon rear bumper with full-width diffuser; rear-step deep-grain carbon plate with operator logo embossing as an option |
| Rear deck | Carbon roof spoiler with optional integrated antenna housing; carbon tailgate trim with embossing for operator logo or VIN-specific build plaque |
The kit retains all factory ADAS sensors, side-door power-slide hardware, and the rear-tailgate power-lift mechanism. The 2019 facelift's MBUX system and adaptive cruise are unaffected.
VIP cabin conversion — what it includes
The cabin conversion is operator-configurable but the standard build sheet covers:
- Rear-cabin captain chairs — 4 individual or 6 in 2+2+2 configuration, with reclining mechanism, integrated leg-rest, lumbar massage, ventilation and heating
- Privacy partition wall with smoked-acoustic glass and chauffeur-cabin separation panel
- Ambient lighting — 64-colour programmable LED strips along the headliner and footwells
- Refrigerated bar cabinet — typically with two cooled-bottle slots and crystal-glass storage; mounted at the partition wall
- Twin 21" or 24" monitor screens with HDMI / streaming input and operator-content branding
- Hand-stitched leather retrim — full cabin in operator-spec single colour or two-tone with contrast piping
- Bespoke wood or carbon trim on the partition wall, side panels and door cards
- Acoustic insulation — additional sound-deadening to lift the cabin's read closer to S-class quietness
Cabin conversions are typically configured for 4-seat lounge or 6-seat shuttle. The 4-seat lounge maximises individual seat space and is the airport-VIP standard; the 6-seat shuttle is the corporate-and-team-transport standard. Both are based on the same chassis hardware.
Wheel choice
Factory W447 wheel sizes range 17"-19". Mansory typically steps to 21" or 22" forged staggered, tyre fitment 245/40 R21 or 255/35 R22. The V-class load profile (3-tonne GVW) and the use-case implications (year-round operation including winter conditions in Continental Europe) require careful wheel-and-tyre matching — operators frequently specify a winter-tyre alternate set on a separate wheel pattern as part of the same commission. Patterns most-specified: FM.5 classic five-spoke (operator-discreet read) and FX.7 X-pattern. Forged catalogue: hodoor.world/collection/forgedwheels.
Operator notes
The V-class programme is not a retail product. The buyer profile is operators rather than end-clients: VIP-shuttle services in Geneva, Monte-Carlo, Zurich, London, Paris, Munich, Milan and Dubai; chauffeured-limousine fleets at five-star hotels and corporate accounts; and the European film and television industry where Mercedes V-class is the on-set talent transport of choice. Mansory's commercial relationship with these accounts is direct fleet supply rather than retail order, with allocation managed on annual contract basis.
End-user retail commissions do exist — typically high-net-worth families using the V-class as a chauffeured family vehicle — but they are the minority of the V-class commission base.
Order intake
For fleet operators: contact direct for fleet-allocation discussion, custom-build scope, and operator-spec configuration. The V-class programme is shipped on contract pricing rather than per-unit catalogue pricing.
For retail commissions: order intake requires V-class VIN, donor trim (V200 / V220 / V250 / V300), wheelbase (compact / long / extra-long), exterior paint code, body programme scope (carbon-trim only / standard / full + fender extensions), VIP cabin specification, wheel pattern, destination country. Quote turnaround 72 hours.
Production timelines: body programme alone 6-8 weeks; full body + cabin 16-20 weeks; full programme + winter-set forged 18-22 weeks. Installation and cabin assembly 4-6 weeks at the Mansory atelier or an authorised V-class converter.

FAQ
Does the kit fit pre-facelift W447 (2014-2018) cars? Catalogued here is the 2019+ facelift only. Pre-facelift W447 is supported by a separate Mansory programme — specify donor build year at order intake and Mansory will route the order to the correct kit specification.
Will the kit fit a Marco Polo camper W447? The body kit fits the standard V-class chassis; the Marco Polo camper variant retains the standard V-class front and rear bumper geometry, so the Mansory kit fits, but the cabin conversion does not (Marco Polo cabin is a different module entirely).
Can the cabin conversion be specified without the body kit? Yes. The two are independent. Operators sometimes specify the cabin conversion alone on a stock-bodied V-class to maintain a more discreet exterior read.
Is the 2019 OM654 four-cylinder donor adequate for the converted vehicle weight? Yes — the OM654 in V250 / V300 calibration (190 hp / 230 hp / 250 Nm-450 Nm depending on output) handles the converted-vehicle GVW within manufacturer specification. Higher-tier operators frequently specify the OM656 inline-six diesel for the longer-range routes (Geneva-Zurich corridor, Munich-Milan).
Will the kit work on the new V-class W467 (2024+)? No. The 2024+ W467 is a different platform with a fully revised body — the W447 kit does not fit. Mansory's W467 programme is in development and not yet shipping at catalogue scope.
