It was only a matter of time. The all-electric Mercedes-Benz G580 EQ, stately, silent, and dripping with clean German engineering, has officially been kidnapped by Mansory, blindfolded with forged carbon fiber, and dragged into a luxury rave somewhere between Monaco and Mars. And you know what? It kind of slaps.
This marks Mansory’s first venture into electrifying the iconically boxy G-Class, and true to form, the tuner has thrown absolutely no chill at it. Gone are the modest, whisper-soft aesthetics of Mercedes-Benz’s $168K green giant. In their place? A brutalist fever dream sculpted in exposed forged carbon, layered like a flexing black diamond, and bolted onto 24-inch fully forged FC.5 rims that look like they were plucked off a Batmobile prototype.
This isn’t just a glow-up. It’s a voltage-fueled transformation.
MANSORY: The House That Extra Built
If you’re new to Mansory, let’s be clear: this is the fashion house of carbon chaos. The brand doesn’t tune so much as detonate. Based in Germany, Mansory has built its reputation on flipping the world’s most luxurious cars inside out, Ferraris, Lambos, Bentleys, and turning them into rolling statements of wealth, power, and unapologetic taste.
Think oligarch meets Gotham villain. Oil baron meets fashion week. You don’t buy a Mansory. You announce it.
So when the G580 EQ, a fully electric 579-hp, 6,800-pound techno-brick, rolled onto the scene, you knew it wouldn’t stay factory-stock for long.
The Build: Subtle as a Bomb
Let’s get into it. Mansory’s first G580 EQ doesn’t so much drive as swagger. The forged carbon bodywork wraps around the original lines like a bespoke armored suit. The widebody fender flares are signed, sealed, and delivered straight from the Mansory playbook. The redesigned grille? Gone is the humble Benz star. In comes the Mansory logo, standing dead-center like it owns the Autobahn.
There’s a revised bumper with added LED DRLs, an aggressive chin spoiler, and extra roof lights like you’re about to blast through a jungle at midnight… or, more likely, the parking lot of The Dubai Mall. Out back, it’s equally wild: quad roof spoilers, a multi-fin diffuser that belongs in Le Mans, and enough logo badging to remind you who really birthed this beast.
And those wheels. The FC.5s are 24-inch, lightweight, forged art pieces that could double as dinner plates for Poseidon himself. Blue brake calipers peek through, hinting at the electric soul beneath all that brute muscle.
No shots of the interior yet, but knowing Mansory, expect either royal-blue ostrich leather, illuminated quilted Alcantara, or an entire galaxy-themed headliner. Maybe all three.
The Base: G-Wagen, But Make It Electric
Underneath the chaos is still a Mercedes-Benz G580 EQ, and that’s no joke. We’re talking four electric motors, one per wheel, for a brainy torque vectoring system capable of climbing boulders or doing parking-lot pirouettes. That’s 579 hp and a Titanic-pulling 859 lb-ft of torque. Zero to 60 in 4.7 seconds. Wading depth? A wild 33.5 inches.
Despite weighing nearly 7,000 pounds, it handles off-road terrain like a caffeinated goat. Thanks to a 116-kWh battery lifted from the EQS and rapid charging up to 200 kW, the G580 EQ gets roughly 240 miles of range. More if you coast downhill in Davos.
Why It Works (and Why It Shouldn’t)
On paper, this car is a contradiction. A brutally extravagant EV? A carbon-bodied tank built for silent off-roading? A tuner best known for V12 fury now building toys for the age of electrons?
And yet it works. The G580 EQ by Mansory feels like the future winking at the past. It’s excessive, it’s impractical, it’s possibly illegal in three jurisdictions. But it’s also what makes the car world exciting again.
While others chase minimalist EV serenity, Mansory just crashed through the wall with a forged-carbon fist and said: “Nah, let’s make it glorious.”
Final Word
The first Mansory G580 EQ is not for the quiet type. It’s not for the eco-warrior who wants to save the planet in stealth mode. This is for the person who wants to be seen from orbit. Who craves silence but demands spectacle. Who drinks oat milk and champagne. Who wants to know they’re riding in the only all-electric G-Wagen that could double as a Bond villain’s getaway car.
And honestly? Respect.
Welcome to the electric future, Mansory-style. Bring sunglasses.
