Carlex is no stranger to custom Mercedes G-Wagon builds, but their newest design is a truly outside-the-box creation.
Origin and Growth
Carlex Design started as a family enterprise in Poland, focusing on customizing car interiors. Over the years, it has grown into a globally known outfit in luxury automotive and private jet customization. The company’s reputation is built on its meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality bespoke materials used in their projects, which range from Ferraris and Mercedes-AMGs to BMWs.
Focus on Luxury Car Creation
In recent years, Carlex Design has emphasized customizing crossovers, SUVs, and pickup trucks. This pivot is highlighted by their Himalaya collection, featuring luxury SUVs like the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and the Lamborghini Urus. By enhancing these vehicles’ aesthetics and performance, Carlex Design has solidified its position as a top-tier customization house.
Special Projects: The G-Falcon
Among their notable projects is the G-Falcon, a bespoke build based on the Mercedes-AMG G 63. This project took four years to complete and showcases Carlex Design’s dedication to craftsmanship and innovation. The G-Falcon stands out for its unique styling and enhanced features, blending luxury with performance.
The G-Vintage Series
Carlex Design is also working on the G-Vintage series, inspired by the classic Mercedes-Benz G-Class. This series features retro elements like color-coordinated steel hubcaps and dual-color body treatments. Inside, the G-Vintage boasts a maroon leather interior with vintage woodgrain accents, combining nostalgic design with modern luxury.
Performance and Modern Features
The G-Vintage series doesn’t just look good; it’s built for performance. With 805 horsepower and 752 lb-ft of torque, it can reach a top speed of 162 mph. Despite its retro look, it includes modern safety features like ABS, ESP, and advanced driver assistance systems. This combination of vintage style and contemporary technology exemplifies Carlex Design’s innovative approach to automotive customization.
