Another day, another spyshot. But this time, instead of a mass market SUV, we have a rare classic 4X4. Say hello to the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, the AMG version of today’s G-Wagen.
The original W460/W461 G-Wagen dates back to 1979. It was offered in two wheelbases and three body styles – two-door short-wheelbase convertible, two-door short-wheelbase wagon, and a long-wheelbase four-door wagon. Popular with military and offroad enthusiasts, Mercedes built more than 50,000 units in the first decade.
This black and shiny G63 AMG is powered by a 5.5 litre V8 biturbo engine with 544 hp and 760 Nm of torque, enough to push the brick from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 210 km/h. This direct injection powerhouse is mated to the AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic gearbox.
By the way, there’s an even crazier G65 AMG model billed as the world’s most powerful production off-road vehicle. An AMG 6.0 litre V12 biturbo engine is responsible for 612 hp and 1,000 Nm. Mad.
So what does this local sighting in a Mercedes-Benz Malaysia yard mean? MBM’s AMG car list on its website has everything from an E 63 AMG Estate to the SLS AMG, but no G, so this could be their next low volume offering. Or it could be just a one-off special order for a wealthy and showy big shot.
You can find other models of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class for sale on oto.my.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
I wouldn’t even be able to afford the tires!
Not a big fan. Gone the bling road like the range rover.
Putting a V8 into this new-old car is plain stupid. And pointless.
But this car is fast!
Think of this. Putting a Campro CFE into the 1980’s Saga.
I prefer the old Mitsubishi engine than Proton’s.
If possible, I’d replace your brain but then again you’d die. Pointless.
If you don’t get it, you’ll never get it…

Taib from sarawak can afford, probably a few!

They should have just keep the off roading ability of the SUV, not bling-ed it.

SLS AMG owner would cry and complaining about sharing the same engine with a SUV from the 70’s
The G-Wagen is legendary I cant believe it’s in Malaysia. Nice !
How much is the road tax?
Ever tailed this monster at north south highway when pushing 170kmh in my Benz. Thought to push this lousy 4×4 aside and move forward (those days I have no idea what’s inside this ugly beast). Finally, it blew me away just a sec!!! and the unforgettable muscle sounds…
