The Mercedes Clase X modified by Chelsea Truck is called The Dark Destroyer. Discover why!

The British tuner has worked on a Mercedes-Benz Clase X and turned it into a visually imposing vehicle using the color black.

The pick-up Mercedes-Benz Clase X was discontinued because it did not achieve the expected sales. Yet there are still those who take an interest in this model and work on it to offer a more striking version for those who want to enjoy it. For example, Chelsea Truck has modified one of these models and offers a transformation well worth seeing.

The name given to this intense version matches it perfectly. It is The Dark Destroyer, and its bodywork is entirely black, so the name is more than fitting. The vehicle has a price of 49,999 pounds, equivalent to about 59,500 euros.

A very aggressive look

The pick-up from Mercedes-Benz has been equipped with the Project Kahn styling package, which features wider wheel arches, door protection, a ventilated hood, and bumpers also painted black. The color is repeated on the other exterior elements of the car, such as the 22-inch RS-XF alloy wheels.

Another element that stands out on the pick-up is the tinted windows, which can also be fitted to be bulletproof. The rear bed can be fitted with a hard cover, which keeps this part of the truck better protected. At the front, the halogen headlights are retained, which stands out since LED technology was expected in this area.

Inside, the dark theme of the conversion continues. The upholstery is black with decorative details and red stitching to create a striking contrast. The standard equipment is kept, so the driver will enjoy features such as a navigation system, a reversing camera, Bluetooth connectivity, an 8-speaker sound system, and automatic lights and wipers.

The original engine is also kept, a 2.3-liter turbodiesel block producing 193 CV, although this is not the top of the range available for this model. It is not a new model, as it was manufactured in 2019 and has covered 21,726 kilometers. But it is a good example of everything that can be done with this model, whether bought directly from the tuner or by taking your own pick-up to their workshops.
