Mansory's Latest Car Is a Bonkers Monopoly-Themed G-Wagen Convertible
Mansory's latest improvement—or abomination, depending on your perspective—is a G-Wagen convertible with a livery inspired by the board game Monopoly.
The new car is based on the Mansory Speranza, itself based on a current-generation Mercedes G-Wagen. The Speranza was the seventh G-Wagen derivative that Mansory made, a four-door convertible with rear-hinged doors in the rear and an 820 horsepower V-8 engine under the hood. The Speranza can go from zero to 62 mph in just four seconds, with a top speed limited at 155 mph, though neither speed, nor power, nor handling, nor driving, really, are the point of the Speranza.

Indeed, showing off is, and the Monopoly-themed version—officially titled the 'MANSORY – Art Piece – AL3C MONO907Y'—is an even more garish version. Mansory made the vehicle in collaboration with the artist known as Alec Monopoly, who has teamed up with brands before for Monopoly-themed objects.
Mansory will make just 10 of the MANSORY – Art Piece – AL3CMONO907Y, the last bit of that official name being Alec Monopoly's name in different alphanumeric characters. The exterior of the car is hand-painted by the artist, which takes several days, before it is then sealed with clear coat. Inside, you'll also find various Monopoly-themed touches, while the example shown by Mansory is colored in a teal with different color seatbelts.
The Monopoly-themed car's loud exterior and interior also distract slightly from the somewhat-impressive engineering going on, with Mansory having to reinforce the auto and add rigidity to compensate for the fact that removing the roof removes a load-bearing part of the body. The new launch is also shorter than the Speranza, which means the roof flows a little better, Mansory says. Like any of the brand's creations, virtually any part of the car is customizable.
Mansory did not reveal a price for its Monopoly-themed car, but its creations do not run cheap, and it would not be surprising if the German tuner is asking a seven-figure price. If you are only made of Monopoly money, you probably can't afford of Robb Report
