A rare G-Wagen turned statement piece
Some vehicles lean into their reputation, but this example kicks the door clean off the hinges. The 2021 Mercedes-AMG G63 “Star Trooper” Edition is one of just 20 units ever produced through a collaboration between Mansory and fashion designer Philipp Plein. Built by HHB Motorsports, this version of the G-Wagen takes everything recognizable about the AMG flagship SUV and dials it up to something far more theatrical. With only 14,355 miles, this Star Trooper sits in Richmond, Texas, serving as both a performance SUV and a rolling example of automotive couture. This particular 2021 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Star Trooper with low miles is for sale on Exotic Car Trader, and you can check out the listing by clicking here.

Carbon fiber, camo, and commanding presence
Even among G-Wagens, this example stands out. The Obsidian Black Metallic body wears a full matte black camo vinyl wrap, giving the truck an unmistakable presence before the ignition even turns. Mansory’s wide-body carbon fiber kit transforms the familiar G-Class silhouette with custom front and rear bumpers, side skirts, wheel arches, and a rear apron — each piece finished in exposed carbon weave. The 17-inch forged wheels are accented in red to tie the exterior theme to the red-and-black cabin inside, while LED ambient lighting and roof-mounted light bars turn the design into something more dramatic after dark.

Every detail shows how over-the-top design can still feel intentional. The “Philipp Plein Star Trooper” branding is visible throughout, with Mansory logos subtly integrated across the bodywork. Ceramic coating helps preserve the finish of the carbon elements and vinyl wrap alike.
An interior where fashion meets function
The cabin carries the same unapologetic attitude as the exterior. The Nappa leather seats are finished in a mix of red and black, with diamond-quilted stitching and Philipp Plein’s insignia embossed into each headrest. Mansory-style seat shapes, pedals, LED lighting, and carbon accents fill out the rest of the interior, with an Alcantara and carbon-fiber steering wheel completing the driver’s seat experience.

The 12.3-inch digital displays, navigation, performance menus, and infotainment controls keep the driver connected, while details like the “Philipp Plein x Mansory 20th Anniversary – Limited Edition Nr. 001/20” plaque mark its rarity. Even standing still, this SUV looks like it’s part concept car, part fashion showpiece.
An engine with more power and less subtlety
The 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 is already potent in stock form, but this Star Trooper turns up the volume. An aftermarket supercharger, custom ECU tune, upgraded downpipes, and a high-performance exhaust system add even more force to the AMG powertrain. The 9-speed automatic transmission channels that energy to all four wheels, giving the truck relentless acceleration and unmistakable sound.

While Mansory didn’t publish a specific output for this HHB Motorsports build, the modifications make clear that this isn’t a showpiece made to sit still—it’s a 5,500-pound missile designed to move.

Final thoughts
This 2021 Mercedes-AMG G63 “Star Trooper” doesn’t just borrow from Mansory and Philipp Plein’s worlds; it fuses them. With its carbon-clad body, high-output V8, and a cabin finished like a designer runway, it’s equal parts performance SUV and limited-edition art project.
