The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has stubbornly remained in production for over 34 years in its civilian version and almost 40 years in total.
Upgraded over time with modern powertrains and luxurious interiors, the G-Wagen is a love it or hate it type of car that is here to stay at least until 2019.
Its 63 AMG version is now one of two variants that theoretically shouldn't even exist, yet they are almost single-handedly responsible for the G-Wagen's almost tripling of sales in the recent four years.
With a twin-turbocharged, 5.5-liter V8 sitting under that Bauhaus design, offering no less than 544 (537 bhp) and a monster 760 Nm (561 lb ft) of torque, the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG is way faster than a car looking like this should be.
The first 100 km/h (62 mph) is reached after just 5.4 seconds from a standing start, while its Cd of 0.56 and electronic limiter keep it from reaching more than 210 km/h (130 mph).
We found a recent review of the performance off-roader made by the Aussies from Drive and since it also includes a video, we though we'd share it, especially since most of their editors' views are somewhat similar to ours.
