Mercedes puts the icing on the sportiest version of the G-Class with a special edition that commemorates the more than two decades that the off-roader has remained in the sports brand’s catalog, and its activity. This is one of the arguments of the exclusive Mercedes-AMG G 63 “Edition 55”, which is presented with a truly unique interior.
Time is running against the Mercedes G-Class, increasingly cutting its permanence in the market as a classic combustion SUV. One of the great reasons why the sports brand of the star has just announced a special and very exclusive edition that will remain on sale until October 2022, and that those interested can already request.
The Mercedes-AMG G 63 “Edition 55” plays a dual role. On the one hand, it is one of the Mercedes models that has been present in the Affalterbach catalog for the longest time, on which the firm’s seal has been printed, proudly displaying the commercial slogan “Driving Performance”. Despite being a true off-roader, with world-class off-road driving dynamics, and virtually unrivaled, it’s also capable of delivering on-board performance and sensations that make the AMG G 63’s hair stand on end. And it’s what the first was the G 55 AMG which premiered in 1999.
Pure exclusivity in the Mercedes-AMG G 63 “Edition 55”
But, in addition, it is a tribute to the 55 years of AMG history. Thus, it presents a series of details that not only make it more special, but also much more exclusive. For the exterior, Mercedes offers two colors, metallic “Obsidian Black” or glossy “Opal White” from the “G MANUFAKTUR” color palette, standing out for the new decorative foil that extends across the bottom of the door panels showing part of the sports brand’s coat of arms.
In addition, the alloy wheels are forged, no less than 22 inches in diameter, and with a crossed spoke design, unprecedented in the model, which can be finished in matt tantalum gray. In addition, add the optional packages “AMG Night” and “AMG Night II”. But if it can go more unnoticed on the outside, it will not do so on the inside, where the seats upholstered in red leather contrast with the black of the dashboard or that of the floor mats with red contrasting stitching and the inscription “Edition 55”. Of course, carbon fiber decorate the dashboard.
Mercedes has not implemented changes at the mechanical level, so the AMG G 63 keeps the performance of the powerful engine intact. 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with 585 hp of maximum power, which is transferred to the asphalt through the 4MATIC all-wheel drive with a torque split in a 40:60 ratio -front / rear- and with three differential locks. change is 9-speed automatic. But that’s not all, because this level of exclusivity is reflected in a special protection cover from the outside, and in the price: you have to add 17,850 Euros to the price of the SUV sports, so in Spain it amounts to 228,260, 81 Euros…
