The new Mercedes-AMG G 63 is gearing up to celebrate its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show on 6 March 2018. With the new model, the Mercedes-AMG G-Class has undergone the greatest change in its history – while remaining true to its well-proven virtues. An iconic vehicle since its initial launch almost four decades ago, the new G 63 will arrive in the Middle East in June – one of the first markets around the world to welcome the new edition.
The G 63 underpins its unique position among performance off-road vehicles with the powerful drive system, the newly developed AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension, the AMG-specific transmission modes and new interior with optimal widescreen cockpit. The reinterpretation of the unmistakable design creates strong highlights with the AMG-specific radiator grille, flared wheel arches, the exhaust system’s striking side pipes and the up to 22-inch wheels.
The AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine now also replaces the previous 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine in the G 63. It generates 430 kW (585 hp) in this model, and delivers a maximum torque of 850 Nm. This is available across a wide rev range between 2.500 and 3.500 rpm, providing a sense of effortless superiority. It absolves a sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.
The eight-cylinder delivers its power with muscular torque in all engine speed ranges, combined with maximum efficiency for low fuel consumption and emission figures.
The standard-specification AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive features rear-biased torque distribution with a front/rear split of 40 to 60 percent. This configuration ensures greater agility on the road and improved traction during acceleration.
