Lorinser just announced its project involving the Mercedes-Benz G500. With the tuning package of the specialist, the vehicle gets some visual enhancements plus a boost in its performance.
Outside, the G500 gets a customized front grille, side skirts, spare wheel casing, and a rear spoiler. The section in the radiator grille where the original three-pointed star logo of the vehicle used to sit is replaced by the marque of Lorinser.
Lorinser also mounts the G-Class with a set of blacked out RS9 alloy wheels. Each wheel features a five triple-spoke design. The tuner recommends 22×10 wheels wrapped in 295/35 R22 tires for the front and rear of the auto.
Inside, customers can choose among the high-quality leather, wood, piano paint job, and carbon fiber covers for its seats and other surfaces. Customers can select one or a combination of these to let them achieve the interior design that they are looking for, whether they want a sportier, more luxurious feel, or both.

The boost lets the G500 to sprint from zero to 100 km/h in only 5.6 seconds. On the other hand, its top speed (electronically-limited) could go up to 210 km/h.
