Mansory Doing Mansory Things
To say that Mansory creations are polarizing is an understatement. Some see the German tuner’s work as the height of exclusivity, while others wonder how a standard car ended up looking like it was designed with no restrictions in mind.
Every so often, Mansory shows a bit of restraint – like with its recent Porsche 911 Turbo S softkit, which was unexpectedly subtle. Most of the time, though, the company goes all-in on visual drama, and the new Mansory Azura is a clear example.

Those Colors
The Azura starts with the current Mercedes-Benz G-Class (W465) and reimagines it as a luxury beach cruiser. It wears bright turquoise paint, oversized aero-disc wheels, forged carbon trim, and a generous amount of LED lighting.
The biggest change is the bodywork. Mansory turned the G-Class into a two-door convertible with rear-hinged doors, requiring extensive rework of the structure and exterior panels.
Surprisingly, the result is more cohesive than you might expect. The open roof softens the G-Wagen’s usual military look, giving it a relaxed, almost yacht-like presence.

More Power Than Any Convertible SUV Probably Needs
Under the hood, Mansory starts with the familiar Mercedes-AMG 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, but upgrades it with larger turbos, new engine management, and a high-flow exhaust with redesigned downpipes.
The upgrades bring output to 820 horsepower and 848 lb-ft of torque, a big jump from the standard AMG G 63’s 585 hp and 627 lb-ft. Mansory says the Azura will do 0 to 62 mph in 4.0 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 155 mph.
Inside, most surfaces are finished in turquoise leather, with forged carbon accents that include turquoise flakes. Buyers can customize almost every detail, from stitching and leather types to color choices and carbon finishes. The rear seats are now a pair of individual chairs, separated by a custom center console for added comfort.

Mercedes Is Already Working on the Real Thing
Mansory’s timing is notable, as Mercedes-Benz is also working on its own official G-Class Cabriolet. The automaker previewed its open-top G-Class last year, with camouflaged prototypes seen testing in Austria and Sweden. Reports suggest the production AMG G 63 Cabriolet will arrive around 2028, using the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 as the standard model.
Unlike the Azura, the factory version is expected to keep four doors and a more understated design, though pricing will likely remain above $200,000.
Mansory hasn’t shared pricing for the Azura, which usually means it’s aimed at buyers who aren’t concerned about the cost. Each build is unique, following the company’s ‘One of One’ approach.
