When investing in a luxury item, everyone wants to add their personal touch. Something that says, “I didn’t just buy this, I had a hand in making it what it is.” Such customization can be challenging for a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, as you never want your personal touch to fail to meet the quality and craftsmanship of the car. This is what the Mercedes-Benz MANUFAKTUR program has been about for over the past year and a half. It allows customers to attain an even higher level of individual craftsmanship when ordering their vehicles. It is a program available to you at Mercedes-Benz of Plano.



"When it comes to choosing a car, our customers expect a desirable vehicle with the latest automotive technology and highest quality craftsmanship, produced in a responsible and sustainable way. This is what the MANUFAKTUR at our German production site in Sindelfingen delivers. The dedicated team of hand-picked specialists are trained to tailor vehicles to the personal tastes of our clients, using the finest materials and craftsmanship at Mercedes-Benz." says Jörg Burzer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Production & Supply Chain Management.



The MANUFAKTUR customization program has been very well received by customers prompting Mercedes-Benz to expand the program to new models and more elements of individualization. The program is currently available on the EQS Sedan, the S-Class, and its Maybach and AMG® counterparts, the G-Class, as well as the Mercedes-AMG® GT 4-Door Coupe and SL.

For the exterior, there will be special paint hues and finishes both on the paint and wheels. For instance, there are currently 30 MANUFAKTUR paint colors and finishes for the G-Class and up to 13 MANUFAKTUR for the S-Class. Special paint finishes are available as well, ranging from matte to metallic, to magno. Inside there will be unique leather colors, custom seat graphics, and leather embossing as well as trim pieces painted in special, eye-catching colors and bespoke finishes. MANUFAKTUR has its own Nappa leather, which can be formed in intricate diamond quilting. The leather is then matched on door panels and armrests, the center console and armrests, and the lower section of the instrument panel.



To make sure that all MANUFAKTUR orders are finished with a quality that meets or exceeds Mercedes-Benz’s own craftsmanship, MANUFAKTUR includes a team of dedicated hand-finishing specialists at our Sindelfingen production site who have been specially trained in a three-year or longer program to provide a flawless application of these materials and finishes. This commitment to the craft expresses a level of workmanship second to none. Mercedes-Benz customers with a desire for even more specific individualization can bring their ideas to customer consultants at the Mercedes-Benz Center of Excellence in Sindelfingen. Maybach customers can do the same at the Maybach Atelier in Shanghai.

An example of what MANUFAKTUR can achieve includes the Vision of MANUFAKTUR Mercedes-Maybach show car. The custom two-tone paint finish contains actual glass flakes in the clear coat for a stardust effect. A similar finish is applied to the 20-inch wheels as well. A striking corn yellow nappa leather is spread throughout the interior, with the seating surfaces featuring a unique kaleidoscope pattern. Trim pieces are finished in the same deep sparkling clear coat as the exterior. Any Mercedes-Benz vehicle is special, and its top-level models are even more so. But if you would like your top-level Mercedes-Benz to reflect your own personal touch, talk to the professionals at Mercedes-Benz of Plano about summoning MANUFAKTUR to finish your next purchase.
