Unveiled almost two years ago, the Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC is pretty much perfect from the factory,. The SUV has it all: a powerful engine, a sporty look, and a super-luxurious interior. So, what else there is to improve? German tuner Mansory seems to think that there is still room for improvement and is now offering a complete vehicle conversion.

A Mercedes-Maybach GLS with 800 Horsepower

From the factory, the Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC is powered by a twin-turbo, 4.0-liter V-8 engine that delivers a total of 550 horsepower and 538 pound-feet. These numbers place the GLS 600 in between the GLS 580 (483 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque) and the AMG GLS 63 S (610 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque).

Mansory did some intensive work under the hood. It added new turbochargers, modified the ECU, and installed a new sports exhaust system with high-performance catalytic converters. As a result, the Mansory GLS 600 delivers a total of 820 horsepower and 722 pound-feet of torque. With these improvements, Mansory's GLS 600 is 20 horsepower and 21 pound-feet of torque more powerful than the Brabus 800 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4Matic. The 0 to 60 mph sprint time goes from 4.8 seconds down to 4.4 seconds, while top speed is increased from 155 to 186 mph.

What other updates are offered?

Mansory upgraded the exterior look of the Maybach GLS 600 with a full-carbon fiber body kit, plus various carbon applications. Customers can choose between four different collections with a total of 10 different designs. Up front, the model is upgraded with a new apron with an integrated front lip, LED daytime running lights, side flaps, and air outlets made of carbon. The front grille can either be discreetly darkened or replaced with a new one made from carbon fiber. Updates continue with new side skirts and mirror caps made from carbon fiber. At the rear, a new carbon-fiber rear apron with a diffuser completes the exterior picture. The car rides on a new set of 24-inches glossy black forged wheels wrapped in high-performance tires sized 295/35 R24 both front and rear.

On the inside, Mansory worked on improving the comfort, luxury, and sportiness. The cabin is reupholstered in leather, the sprots steering wheel is wrapped in a combination of leather and carbon, while both seats and doors offer carbon inlays and leather insert. As usual, the Mansory logo is embroidered on both the seat surfaces and the floor mats.
