Included in the package, the G-Vintage is equipped with a bespoke body kit, which is made up of an array of carbon-fibre elements, and, notably, a set of ‘70s-style alloy wheels, each of which measures 20 inches in diameter. Nine “exclusive” paint finishes are available. The “unique” colour palette comprises Lime Pop, Champagne Fizz, Tangerine, Raspberry Punch, Green Breeze, Pink Glow, Noir, Ivory, and the hue seen here, Sand Dunes. Stepping inside, the interior features “vintage” leather and Alcantara upholstery, while the boot has been fitted with wood trim.
Based on the Mercedes-AMG G63, the G-Vintage employs the Affalterbach-based brand’s familiar 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8, which, as standard, is endowed with 430 kW and 850 N.m of torque. However, in true Carlex Design fashion, the folks over at the Polish tuner have handed the petrol unit a boost in power and torque. The firm’s retro-inspired G-Wagon has been tuned to produce a whopping 592 kW and 1 020 N.m.

Although the company has yet to mention how these increases have influenced the standard model’s 0-100 km/h sprint time (4.5 seconds, claimed), Carlex Design has released their latest customised G’s top speed: 260 km/h (up 40 km/h on the standard model’s electronically governed maximum, or 20 km/h when specifying the correct package). In addition to these upgrades, Carlex Design has also handed the G-Vintage a raised and widened suspension setup.
