Mansory likes to make audacious cars. The company’s creations often have bold body kits, colorful interiors, and too much carbon fiber. But its latest build is actually really cool. The aftermarket specialist collaborated with pop artist Alec Monopoly to hand-paint 10 convertible Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUVs, each a one-off creation.
Alec’s art frequently features the Mr. Monopoly character, which is prominent on Mansory’s new G-Class. The example shown here has the character on the shortened rear doors, with splashes of teal, yellow, pink, blue, green, and red on the sides. The spare tire carrier on the back features a colorful motif of Mr. Monopoly, Scrooge McDuck, and Richie Rich.

Under the hood is Mercedes’ twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 engine, which now makes 820 horsepower and 848 pound-feet of torque. Mansory reprogrammed the electronics, increasing the output from the standard 585 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. The modded G-Class can hit 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and reach a 155-mph top speed.
Inside, the 10 lucky customers will be able to pick the leather type, color, quilting, and more. However, the cabin doesn’t escape Alec’s creativity. Several trim pieces will feature handcrafted designs, like on the door trim and the dashboard handle.
The three money-loving characters are featured throughout the cabin, with plenty of references to cash, which you’ll need plenty of if you want this Mansory. Not only does it feature unique artwork, but each Mercedes undergoes significant modifications to accommodate the convertible roof, and that’s not cheap.
