Mansory Azura turns the Mercedes AMG G 63 into an 820 bhp two door convertible
Mansory revealed the Azura, another extreme reworking of the Mercedes AMG G 63. The model gets a shortened body, two rear hinged doors, an electrically folding soft top, a turquoise interior and a V8 engine tuned to 820 bhp.
The G Class becomes a two door convertible
The Mansory Azura is based on the current Mercedes AMG G 63, although the standard SUV now serves more as a starting point than a finished car. The tuner shortened the body and wheelbase, gave the car two longer doors and converted them to rear hinged operation. The metal roof makes way for an electrically operated soft top, which is lined and designed for year round use.
The exterior follows the usual Mansory script: a massive wide body kit, new aerodynamic parts, 61 cm FC.15 wheels and a two tone finish in which turquoise dominates both the bodywork and the wheels. This is not a discreet special edition. It is a deliberately theatrical commission car.
Turquoise cabin, more power
Inside, Mansory covers almost everything in turquoise leather. The exact finish, type of leather, stitching and carbon fibre details depend on the buyer, since Mansory treats the Azura as an individual project rather than a conventional production model.
The most important technical change sits under the bonnet. The 4.0 litre V8 gets larger turbochargers, a new exhaust system and a reprogrammed engine control unit. Output rises to 820 bhp and torque to 1150 Nm. According to Mansory, the Azura accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in four seconds.
Price stays between Mansory and the customer
Mansory did not reveal the Azura’s price or production volume. That fits the logic of the project. This sort of car does not compete with a rational luxury SUV. It sells visibility, separation from the crowd and the chance to order a G Class in a form Mercedes itself does not offer.
Mansory does not make the G Class more versatile or more practical. It makes it rarer, louder and visually more forceful. For the buyer who wants discretion, this is precisely the wrong car. For the buyer who thinks even a G 63 looks too ordinary, it sits right at the centre of Mansory’s business model.
