Kevin Hart Upgrades to G65 AMG from G63: What Next?

Comedian Kevin Hart has always been a fan of the Mercedes G-Wagon, despite the fact that it's the type of ride that will make anyone look short, especially him.

If we remember correctly, his G63 arrived in 2013, being one of the first in America. But now, the fellow let all his Instagram followers know that he upgraded to a G65 AMG. It's not like he can't afford it, with all his movie deals and all, but buying two of the same thing is never smart. Did we mention that it will do 10 miles per gallon at best?

We are intrigued and horrified!

For those of you who don't know a thing about Mercedes and how the German luxury operates, there are two hardcore AMG engines for big cars, a 5.5-liter V8, and a 6-liter V12. The larger of the two seems more exotic, but it's a bad choice.

Filled with technology from 1990, the V12 is heavier, less efficient and kind of pointless. While on paper the G65 makes more power than te G63, the vehicle is slower to 60.

But this kind of ride is as much about the lifestyle statement as it is about going off-road. So Kevin probably ordered it just because he didn't want the same SUV as Kim Kardashian.

In his Instagram post, the comedian thanks "Macgyer and Chris @stealthmotorworks for doing a hell of a job on my G65 ....Shit came out super dope!!!!"

Is it really that special? A black-on-black G-Wagon is probably what Kanye West has too. You'd have to get real close to notice the V12 badge or the Forgiato badges on the wheels. And even then, people won't believe that this is, in fact, a $300,000 ride.

The $231,000 Bentley Bentayga, while arguably less capable off-road, is more luxurious inside. Also , while less powerful, it's also a full second faster to 60mph and corners much better.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
