It"s the news that every Sheikh, Kardashian and box-shaped car lover has been waiting for: the price of the new G63. Well, how much is it? 143,305. Or, 164,495 if you want one of the fancy Edition 1" that comes with chunky 22-inch matte black and red alloy wheels, an auxiliary heater and heated windscreen, different seats (finished in black leather with red stitching) and plenty of Edition 1" badging. Either way, both are on sale now. As a reminder, the new G63 is the 21st makeover we"ve all been waiting for. Behind a face squarer than David Coulthard"s lives the familiar 4.0-litre bi-turbo AMG V8. In days gone by, AMG detuned its V8s for service in the G-Class, because its Bronze Age chassis couldn"t cope with the potency of modern German muscle. But this, despite looking just as archaic as the G always has, is an all-new G on an all-new platform. And it can handle the power. So, the new G63 develops 577bhp. That"s an identical power output to what you find in the AMG GT R. Forty per cent of that arrives at the front wheels, and 60 per cent is sent to the back (past two pairs of side-exit exhaust along the way), via a nine-speed automatic gearbox.
