Mercedes Benz G63 AMG Revealed Before Launch


Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG has already been caught by the paparazzi and we bring you the sneak peek details of the Benz G63 AMG ahead of its much hyped launch at the Beijing motor show in China.

The new SUV has no qualms about its style and it bravely flaunts its restyled front bumper with large cooling ducts, a double slat grille, and side mounted exhaust pipes ending just before the rear wheels. The wheels are five spoke AMG alloy and is looked upon as the next successor to the G55 AMG.

At the heart of the matter is the twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 direct injection petrol engine. It develops 536bhp and 77.4kgm of pulling force. Compared to the good old G55 the new car has improved by some 43bhp and 6.08kgm of torque.

With a seven speed automatic gearbox, power is consistently channeled permanently to all four wheels for full control during off-road adventures. The SUV also has a touch of style with an automatic stop/start function. The robust beast also comes with loads of thought behind it with brake energy recuperation for added fuel savings.

The new G63 AMG with a makeover will be joined by a new range topping G-class line-up the G65 AMG model. However one might have to wait sometime though for the new beast to enter India as initially it is planned to be sold in only markets including China, Russia and the Middle East, which is a 603bhp twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre V12 multi-point injection petrol engine with mind boggling 737lb ft of torque.

The feature list of the power machine includes hi-tech Distronic Plus radar controlled cruise control system, Blind Spot Assist and the parking aid Partktronic, which is includes a reversing camera as well. The standard ESP (electronic stability program) also gets a makeover with the inclusion of Trailer Stability Assist and a hill hold function.
