MERCEDES BENZ G63 AMG

Most would look at the Mercedes Benz G63 AMG and see a vehicle built for extremes and they would be absolutely correct. But engineers in Affalterbach looked at the G-Class and said, “Let’s make it more extreme.” Thus the Mercedes Benz AMG G63 was born. And now, they´ve taken that machine to its furthest extreme yet, with a 2019 model that preserves the icon’s classic design while making it capable of extraordinary feats.

Those capabilities are powered by an ingenious new drivetrain. The handcrafted Mercedes Benz AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine generates 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. It sprints from 0-60 in just 4.4 seconds. And its two twin-scroll turbochargers guarantee a whip-fast response. That power and agility are further enhanced by a 9-speed transmission that uses model-specific software to achieve remarkably fast shift times. In a further departure from the previous model, the AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive now features a 40 to 60 percent front/rear torque distribution, giving the G 63 maximum traction during acceleration.

When it´s time to leave the well-traveled road — or any road at all, for that matter the G 63 is in its element. In addition to five AMG DYNAMIC SELECT on-road programs, there are three off-road modes “Sand,” “Trail” and “Rock” that guarantees the best performance whatever environment you´re in. The body shell has been constructed with a new material mix of steel and aluminum to preserve a lighter weight while delivering improved strength and durability.

Outside, the Mercedes Benz G63 AMG 2020 remains one of the most iconic designs on any road. Inside, it departs from tradition, with a completely redesigned dashboard featuring analog tubes, dial instruments, and a Widescreen Cockpit. It´s also larger and more spacious in every dimension, bringing total command to every adventure.
