DESIRE ON WHEELS
India Today
|January 13, 2025
Driving around Mumbai in a bright red G-wagen elicited a range of reactions from me and city residents. Spice got an exclusive first look at the new Mercedes-AMG G 63. Here's the verdict.
MERCEDES-AMG G 63
Power 577 hp
Torque 850 NM
Acceleration 0-100 kmph: 4.5 seconds
Engine type 4.0 Litre V8
Top speed 220 kmph
Transmission Automatic 9-gears, manual override/paddle shift
Price ₹3.6 crore ++
Is it really a good idea to flex one's four-litre twin-turbo, V8 engine, pushing out 587 bhp of power and 850 nm of torque in Mumbai's narrow, often crumbling streets? I guess not. But when you're behind the wheels of the iconic Geländewagen aka the 'G-wagon' --which wields pop culture and social media clout like no other SUV-it's all good.
