Mansory unveils 972hp Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe Diamond at Geneva
Mansory’s Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe Diamond brings a wide body kit, lavish interior and a 972hp engine upgrade to the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.
Mansory used the 2015 Geneva Motor Show to debut its Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe Diamond, a wide-bodied, heavily reworked version of the already potent S63 AMG Coupe. The German tuner’s latest creation pushes power, presence and personalisation to extremes, with a claimed 972hp and a full leather-wrapped interior.

Exterior Modifications and Styling
The S63 Coupe Diamond sits wider than the standard AMG, with a body kit that includes flared wheel arches, new front and rear bumpers, a vented bonnet, roof spoiler and rear lip. The car rides on 22-inch alloy wheels, fitted with 255/30 tyres at the front and 295/25 at the rear. These changes give the car a more aggressive stance and a unique look compared to the original model. The presence of the car on the show floor highlighted Mansory’s focus on bold design and visual impact, making it stand out among other high-performance vehicles at Geneva.
Bespoke Interior
Mansory’s approach extends to the interior, where even the carpets are replaced with leather. The cabin is completely trimmed in leather, a feature that is unusual even among high-end tuners. This creates an environment that is as much about luxury as it is about visual impact, and underlines the car’s bespoke nature. While leather carpets may not be the most practical choice for everyday use, they contribute to the sense of exclusivity and craftsmanship that Mansory aims to deliver.
Engine Upgrades and Performance
Beneath the bonnet, Mansory has reworked the S63’s 5.5-litre biturbo V8. The upgrade includes new connecting rods, big end bearings, bearing bushings, crankshaft, intake, compressor, turbochargers and a revised ECU. The result is a claimed 972hp and an electronically limited 1,400Nm of torque, well above the standard S63’s 577hp and 900Nm. Mansory quotes a 0-100km/h time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 300km/h. This dramatic increase in power and torque places the Coupe Diamond among the most powerful cars at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, rivalling offerings from other tuners and established manufacturers alike.

Position Among Geneva’s Supercars
With the S63 AMG Coupe Diamond, Mansory joins other high-profile tuners and manufacturers at Geneva in 2015, each competing for attention with extreme performance and styling. The car’s combination of power, bespoke interior and visual aggression targets buyers looking for exclusivity beyond the standard AMG offering. At the show, models such as the Brabus Rocket 900 and Porsche Cayman GT4 also made headlines, but the Mansory Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe Diamond stood out for its blend of technical upgrades and dramatic design changes. This approach highlights the ongoing trend among tuners to not only boost performance, but also to create highly individualised vehicles for a select clientele.
Summary
The Mansory Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe Diamond, revealed at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, exemplifies the tuner’s philosophy of combining extreme performance with bespoke luxury. Its significant engine upgrades, full leather interior and bold styling make it a notable entry among the year’s supercar debuts.
