Starting with the exterior, Manhart has given the GLE 63 S a dramatic makeover to highlight its enhanced performance capabilities. The modifications, crafted in collaboration with TopCar Design, feature extensive use of carbon fiber. This includes broad fender extensions and matching carbon inserts on both the front and rear bumpers. The coupe-SUV also sports an extended ducktail spoiler and a vented hood, further emphasizing its sporty credentials.

To complement the sleek carbon fiber details, Manhart has adorned the GER 800 with striking yellow decals that contrast sharply with the matte dark green paint of the showcase vehicle. The SUV now rolls on a new set of 23-inch Manhart Concave One alloy wheels, finished in satin black with yellow accents. These wheels are wrapped in mixed tires, measuring 285/35ZR23 at the front and 325/30ZR23 at the rear, ensuring both style and performance.

Inside, the GER 800 continues the theme with a luxurious yet sporty feel. The interior features black Alcantara and leather upholstery, accented with bold yellow stitching. Manhart’s branding is evident with emblems on the headrests and floor mats, while various carbon fiber inserts add a touch of high-tech sophistication throughout the cabin.

Under the hood, the GER 800’s powertrain has been significantly upgraded. The AMG twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine now delivers a remarkable 789 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of torque. This impressive increase is achieved through the addition of an electric compressor, alongside enhancements to the turbochargers, ECU, and exhaust system. This results in a power boost of 186 horsepower and 150 Nm of torque over the standard model, aligning the GER 800’s performance with that of the Brabus 800 SUV Coupe. The SUV also features a louder exhaust, including OPF-Delete Sport downpipes and two 300-cell catalytic converters.

Although the standard Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S already benefits from a lowered stance, Manhart has taken this a step further by adjusting the air suspension to reduce the vehicle’s ride height by an additional 30 mm. This lowered clearance can also be achieved through new coupling rods if preferred.

Manhart has not listed the pricing for their GER 800 modifications online. However, interested customers can reach out to the tuner directly to explore various customization options for their upgraded coupe-SUV.
