DUBAI (PERLA)—They are built and not bought and sometimes from scratch, this is the unique Auto modification market in the United Arab Emirates and it is a huge and a personal one.

Perla Luxury automotive section met with one of the leaders in auto modification in Dubai which has the desire to give familiar automotive forms a new expression catering to the elite taste of those who has the passion to own something unique.

“G 3.0 ICONIC was created as a complete visual identity rather than a collection of separate modifications. We wanted the bodywork, wheels and Cognac Héritage interior to read as one composition and to give the G-Class a character that is immediately recognizable as M Monogram.” Pauline Gashkova, Co-Founder, M Monogram Atelier told Perla.

“We follow each client’s request. Bodywork, materials and interior details are developed as one composition, shaped around each owner’s taste and the atelier’s signature,” she added.

Inspired by the expressive character of 1930s motoring, ICONIC reinterprets the era through contemporary design. Its oversized grille draws on 1960s automotive design, giving ICONIC a recognizable face, the G 3.0 ICONIC is truly a unique vehicle.

“This masterpiece is the first and, at present, the only completed G 3.0 ICONIC in the world. A worldwide series of 50 individually specified vehicles is planned. The series is intended for international clients, not only the UAE,” Gashkova said.

“The vehicle comes in three expressions: Black, Silver and Gold. A dark grille and dark wheels, set against bright accents, a silver-toned grille and wheels create a crisp visual contrast and a Gold-toned details highlight the grille, body line and wheels,” Gashkova added.

The G 3.0 ICONIC is a bespoke G-Class project, bringing bodywork, interior and decorative details into one design. The base belongs to a G-Class, with gloss and satin-black surfaces, 24-inch multi-piece forged aluminum wheels and cognac Héritage Nappa leather. Individual colors and finishes.

Widened and lengthened bodywork gives G 3.0 ICONIC its distinctive proportions. Pronounced wheel-arch extensions and sculpted running boards define the side profile, complemented by enlarged door hinges, gloss-black upper surfaces contrast with satin-black lower panels, bringing the contours of the redesigned bodywork into focus.

The sculpted side steps follow the lower body line, giving the profile a defined, cohesive finish. A slim contrasting edge highlights their shape between the wheel arches and decorative side gills bearing the M Monogram emblem add a distinctive signature to the sculpted profile of G 3.0 ICONIC in addition to three-pointed light modules with integrated turn indicators giving it a luxury finishing and distinguished look.

The luxurious interior comes with a warm cognac shade of Nappa leather, paired with black accents throughout the cabin, a quiet focal point on the dashboard, its circular dial brings a classic note to the cabin’s design. The rear cabin of the G 3.0 ICONIC brings together comfort and distinctive design. Sculpted seats upholstered in Cognac Héritage Nappa leather are accented by vertical contours and fine stitching.

Individual tray tables with integrated cup holders add a practical touch to the passenger space, creating a setting designed for both relaxation and everyday use. A distinctive pattern of stylized stars extends across the leather headliner. The ICONIC inscription gives the ceiling a bold, unmistakable signature.

And regarding future plans.

M Monogram Atelier plans to develop the 50-vehicle worldwide G 3.0 ICONIC series while continuing to expand its bespoke automotive design work from Dubai,” Gashkova pointed out.
