About the car

The G-Class is pure old-school SUV from every angle. It’s said that the G-Wagen was originally designed in the 1970s for the Shah of Iran’s military, and since then, it has only evolved when absolutely necessary—to meet safety regulations and to add more luxury and technology. It’s an automotive piece of amber jewelry—nearly prehistoric, but in a way that makes it that much more desirable in a modern world. It’s also one of the most luxurious, most capable and most expensive SUVs on the market.

Despite its off-road prowess the G-Wagen is softer inside than you might expect. High-quality materials with excellent fit and finish mark the cabin, the rear entertainment system and its doors close with a solid bank-vault-like thud.

The G63 AMG, which significantly outsells the base model, features a hand-built twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V-8 that makes 563 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque. On the road, it is almost frighteningly quick, cutting the 0 to 60 mph time to 5.4 seconds and sounding even more menacing.
