The Mercedes-AMG G 65 is certainly a vehicle with presence, not just because of the way it looks, but also due to what lies under its bonnet. With a hand-built 6.0 litre biturbo V12 engine, the G 65 has at its disposal 621 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque, enough to get the big brute from a rest to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds and on to a top speed of 230 km/h.
Alas, all good things must come to an end, as AMG will soon discontinue the G-Wagen variant. As a last hurrah, the company will offer the G 65 in an exclusive Final Edition, which will be limited to just 65 units worldwide. Each unit will be priced from 310,233 euros (RM1,549,334) if you want one.
For the money, you’ll get the aforementioned V12 engine that is paired with an AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive system. The off-roader’s characteristic high ground clearance and long suspension travel also makes it pretty handy when traversing difficult terrain.
Among the important figures include a maximum fording depth of 60 cm when driving through water and mud, slope climbing ability of up to 80% on suitable surfaces, driving stability at angles of 28°, angle of approach/departure of 27° and breakover angle of 22°.
The Final Edition comes fitted with 21-inch five-twin-spoke alloy wheels in bronze, silver brake callipers and AMG Sport trim strips on the sides. Other details include a matte bronze finish for the underride guard, trim elements in the bumpers, grille surround and side mirrors. There’s plenty of black bits too like the radiator grille mesh, running boards, tailpipes and exterior protective strips.
While it may look menacing from the outside, the Final Edition retains the G-Class’ luxurious approach when it comes to the interior. The designo Exclusive package introduces designo black nappa leather with seat side bolsters in a carbon-fibre look and topstitching in light brown.
You’ll also find carbon-fibre trim elements, bronze decorative stitching, AMG Performance steering wheel in black nappa leather and multicontour and climatised seats for driver and front passenger. Last but not least, milled Edition lettering can be found on the grab handle plus floor mats with leather edging in light brown and topstitching in black.
