Let’s get one thing straight, Mercedes-Benz G Wagens are cool. Slightly odd, but cool. Why? Well, they just are.
So, what happens when you stuff a 544hp 5.5 litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet? Thankfully Chris Harris and Harry Metcalfe are on hand to find out.
Videos from both men can be seen after the break; they bring you 20 minutes of evaluation. Of course, neither take the G63 AMG off-road, instead they attack some twisties and wreak some havoc on the Autobahn.
Well, not much else about these cars, especially with that engine, makes a lot of sense. We think Metcalfe sums it up best with these two comments:
“God, it could understeer for Germany.”
“It’s not really a car, it’s a toy. And it’s a very, very good toy.”
One reply on “Is a 544hp G63 AMG actually any good?”
The engine, steering and ESP on this thing reminds me of the CL55 I had for a couple of days last year. I tried everything I could to kick the tail out or even just power out of tight corners but it just won’t do it.
