This is the new Mercedes G-Class you"ve been waiting for. The all-new, 21st Century G-Class subjected to the maniacal desires of AMG. It"s the new G63, people. And it"s very, very brawny. 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 sixty per cent is sent to the back (past two pairs of side-exit exhaust along the way), via a nine-speed automatic gearbox.
