German tuning company Performmaster has unveiled the G805 Sterling Brush, a project dedicated to turning a handful of Mercedes-Benz G-Class models into stylish and powerful off-road machines. The program includes a special exterior finish, a blue leather cabin and an 805-PS powertrain upgrade.
Only eight units will be made in total, with the company expecting to deliver no more than three per year. Much of the work will be dedicated to hand-painting the entire body work and aero kit with a special textured paint resembling coarsely brushed (not polished!) stainless steel. Performmaster claims that the painting alone will take at least 600 hours per vehicle. One of the upsides of this whole hand-painting approach is that no two G-Wagens in the batch will be the same.
Every G-Class will also receive a full body kit including fender flares, a new bumper with front air intakes and a nice carbon-framed radiator grille. Power-assisted running boards will appear at the sides, and new DRLs will be installed on the roof. A set of 24-inch forged wheels will round things off with considerable style.
In turn, the cabin will get the aforementioned blue leather trim with silver stitching and piping, while the headliner will be encrusted with LEDs to emulate the Starry Sky ceiling by Rolls-Royce, something that seems to be everyone’s obsession lately.
Last but hardly least, the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 under the hood will land with a couple of new turbos and other high-end mods, allowing it to deliver 805 PS (794 hp / 592 kW) and 1,020 Nm (752 lb-ft) of torque. This should be enough for the G-Class to sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.69 seconds, the tuner claims.
