Sit down and pay attention class, as today we have a very special visitor. Yes, it’s the king of expensive SUVs.
Mercedes Benz has finally put a face on the world’s most powerful production off-road vehicle, the G 65 AMG.

This beast has a maximum output of 612 horsepower and spins the wheels with 1000 newton meters of torque.
Thanks to this massive level of power, the G 65 AMG sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds compared to the 63′s 5.4, and tops 230 km/h (143 mph) whereas G 63 only manages 210 km/h (130 mph).

This desirable and collectable off-roader will set you back as much as a supercar - €264,180 in Germany.

But you can’t ignore the fact that it’s got retro cool looks, a luxury interior with a whole hoard's worth of cow hide and can probably tow your house.

The G 65 AMG gets the same body kit as the 63, except it’s also got a custom mesh grille, distinct 9.5 x 20 AMG five-spoke light alloy wheels, painted titanium grey with high-sheen finish, and the obvious Biturbo logo on the side.

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.
