Afzal Kahn and his team unveiled a Mercedes-Benz G-Class based on the premium AMG G63 model, fitted with a carbon-fiber body kit, new wheels, and interior improvements. The “Carbon Wide Track Edition” from Project Kahn certainly looks more aggressive than the basic G-Wagen, and it comes with a lot of modification possibilities for every G-Wagen driver.

The front bumper insert above and below the intakes, a new grille, a hood overlay, and a rooftop shield with incorporated LEDs are all part of the body kit, which is built completely of exposed carbon fiber.

Massive 23-inch Kahn Type 57 Monoblock forged wheels with Continental SportContact 6 tires complement the broad front and back fenders. The extra crosshair exhaust with a diameter of 100 mm is likewise housed in the profile, as is a double roof spoiler at the back.

Project Kahn didn't screw with the already strong AMG's twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, which generates 577 hp (430 kW / 585 PS) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque right out of the box. A 9-speed automatic gearbox sends power to all four wheels.

A standard G63 goes from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in 4.5 seconds, with the additional AMG Driver's kit limiting the maximum speed to 149 mph (240 km/h). The shown car is put up for sale for £224,999, which equates to $309,188.

The prior owner drove it for 401 miles (645 km) after purchasing it in 2021. If you already own a G-Class, the carbon-fiber body kit costs £15,000 ($20,609), the carbon top shield with inbuilt LED lighting costs £2,400 ($3,300), while the 23-inch monoblock wheels cost £7,999.97 ($10,994). However, the exact wheel design costs £3,999.98 ($5,497).
