Yes, vinyl wrapping is getting pretty old, but so is the traditional color pallet that Mercedes Benz offers on the G63 AMG, a car many consider the ultimate 4x4.
Ever since the G63 was launched in 2013, the SUV remained pretty much the same in the color department. However, new vinyl tones are being launched every day. This particular Merc has gone for a very bright neon/fluorescent yellow. It's the exact opposite of the discrete beige that the Geländewagen used to sport back in its army days.
Such a bright color could only have come from the Middle Easy. It's the first project put together by Dubai shot ProFoil in 2015. Out of all the combinations we’ve seen so far, this is by far one of our favorites.
The G63 pulls off a classic look effortlessly, Sporting pretty much the same design since the late 1970s, this SUV has seen many automotive designs come and go and said to itself "well, I don't like any of those". And why would it follow the trend when it was cooler than everybody else? Mercedes tested its 4x4 at the Arctic Circle and in the middle of the desert before everybody else was doing it.
Nowadays, celebrity owners include the Kardashians and Hilary Duff. But when somebody mentions famous people and the G', I think of a cool guy who changed the world and had a billion followers, and I don't mean on Facebook. Yes, John Paul II rolled around in this ex-military car for decades and spread his message of peace and understanding. So stop hating the G63 and enjoy this neon model for what it is – a unique car.
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.
