Mansory Unveils Unique Mercedes-AMG G63 'Star Trooper Pickup'

Introduction

Keeping up with tradition, aftermarket tuner Mansory has released a plethora of wacky creations around the time of the now-cancelled Geneva Motor Show. This year sees the tuner work on an Audi RS6, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and the most intriguing creation, a short wheelbase Mercedes-AMG G63 pickup truck.

Design and Modifications

Designed and built with the help of Philipp Plein, this creation is dubbed the ‘Star Trooper Pickup’ and has undergone a series of comprehensive modifications to achieve its unique form. While details are sparse, it is unclear whether Mansory has used the platform of an older model (from when Mercedes built a 3-door G-Wagen) or a new model that has had two of its doors removed with a shortened wheelbase.

Exterior Enhancements

More than just its wheelbase, the passenger cell has been cut and converted into a pickup bed. To match its matte black and grey camouflage, the Star Trooper Pickup features:

• Custom black wheels
• New side-exiting exhausts
• Power-retractable side steps
• Overhauled front and rear facias

Performance Specifications

Powering the wacky Mansory creation is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo AMG V8 engine that has been tuned to deliver 838 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of torque. Although Mansory claims it can reach 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds, chances are you’ll never see one in person, as production is limited to just seven examples worldwide.
