Brake Banzeen!

Although Mercedes-Benz revealed the 2013 G-Class a few days ago, I decided to not post about them until official pictures of the AMG versions were released. Mercedes did announce the new AMG variants, the G63 (replacing the G55 model) and G65, however they did not publish any images. They only showcased the G350 model. But now, the first pictures of the G63 have surfaced.

Styling changes for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG come in the form of a new front fascia with LED lights, new side steps and flared fenders. It also receives 20-inch wheels, with red brake calipers peaking out from behind them.

The AMG division blessed the G63 with a 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine with 544hp (37hp more than the G55). As for the V12 G65, that monster-ute will receive 612hp (pictures not released as of yet).

The new AMG G-Class models also come with a conscious in the form of an ECO start/stop system, therefore they don’t unnecessarily burn fuel while sitting at a stoplight. The interior has not been completely overhauled, but as with all previous generations of the G-Class it will receive a proper upgrade in materials.

So far it seems like the G65 AMG will not be available in the UK and the US, but China and the GCC will definitely be getting them. Pricing has been announced: the G63 will go for €137,505 Euros and G65 for a whopping €264,180.
