\nIf there’s one thing we can say about Mansory, it’s that they sure aren’t afraid to try new things. A pink Bentle<\/a>y? Sure. A blue and gold Rolls-Royce Ghost<\/a>? Why not? Then there’s this highly modified G55 AMG built in cooperation with fashion designer Philipp Plein<\/a> named the G-Couture. With a production run of just seven examples, this heavily modified Benz will only be available to a limited few. Truthfully, it’s probably better that way.<\/p>\n

While we aren’t necessarily against fully cladding a G55 in carbon fiber, our hesitation with the G-Couture is less about the concept and more about the execution. The front end particularly looks overly-styled, and the unpainted fibers seem more appropriate on a sports car. We can, however, appreciate the upgrades done underneath the hood. Mansory has boosted the supercharged V8 to 700 horsepower and 649 lb-ft torque. Necessary? Of course not, but impressive nonetheless. Hit the jump for more details about the G-Couture, or check it out in all its carbon fiber glory in the gallery below.<\/p>\n
