We're talking ostrich leather, folks.
When it comes to German tuning house DMC, we mostly see them working on
Lamborghinis. That’s not a bad thing at all, as its tuned and modified
Lambos are simply stunning. However, the Germans have now set their
sights on the most German SUV ever made: the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
This body kit and tune job turns the G-Wagen into a performance god,
which is perhaps why it has been dubbed “ZEUS.” We won’t even get into
the whole Mansory rivalry as it’s kind of hard to follow.
So, what’s new here? Just
about everything, actually. The widebody kit covers the SUV in full
carbon fiber. It may not look like it, but that’s because DMC has
painted a bunch of the bits. Here’s a brief walkaround video discussing
what’s what.

We love the addition of
the angles up front to this boxy design. Leaving the hood black to
showcase the carbon fiber was also an awesome move. Slapping “DMC” onto
the grille may piss off some who’d rather show off the signature
Mercedes three-pointed star, but you can’t please everyone. The exposed
carbon fiber roof is also a nice touch. The wing is just small enough to
be inoffensive. Some of us around here aren’t big on massive wings.
What we all agree on is big wheels are awesome! The DMC Zeus certainly
delivers in that department, with 24-inch forged aluminum wheels wrapped
in Pirelli Scorpion tires. Other exterior add-ons include a lighting
system so bright DMC claims it “shocked people when we turned on all
sets at the same time.”
In terms of performance,
the power output has been tweaked to 880 horsepower. How did DMC do it?
We’ll let the official blog post from the tuner do the talking. “Imagine
that DMC took all pistons, connecting rods, bearings, crank shafts,
crank, cylinder heads and more, back to the drawing board.” The interior
is whatever you want it to be, with tons of carbon fiber throughout and
options ranging from Alcantara to ostrich leather (seriously). Only 10
of these kits will be produced and the range of custom options and the
fact that it can be fitted to any G-Class going all the way back to 1979
means that no two will be alike. (The example shown here is actually a
G55 AMG.) Pricing has yet to be announced.
