While we're not fans of pretending to own a Bugatti, using VFX technology to shed new light on a new model's debut is an entirely different story. Just check out how real the Maybach and AMG G-Class put together by "Mr AMG" look.
Raziz Roken Rehan, know as Mr AMG or the man behind the YouTube channel RemoveBeforeRace, likes to spice his videos with computer graphics. You often see cars that have barely come out in magically appearing in his driveway to be reviewed. This time, he flew halfway around the world for the launch of the GLS-Class and decided his review should be different from everyone else's.

So he played around with the design and revealed what the AMG model might look like, complete with ambient shadows and natural highlights. It's nothing like the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 rendering we showed you before.

The super-SUV is obviously going to be powered by a 4-liter V8 engine, though its output might be helped by the 22 horsepower EQ Boost motor for a total output that's close to the AMG GT 63 S 4-door. Also, cosmetic revisions like the Panamericana grille have been made. Here's a nice set of spyshots to go with that.

Though it might be difficult to believe, Mercedes is also developing a Maybach GLS, just to make the "S-Class of SUVs" thing stick. This will obviously mean a new design, inspired by the Maybach SUV concept they showed. Obviously, the Germans aren't going to change the actual bodywork, but the interior should get a serious luxury infusion.

According to trademarks filed at the beginning of the year, the Maybach models will be called GLS 600 and GLS 680. The first one should have just a little more power than the normal 580 model, while the extra-special version might be an EQ Power plug-in model. Sound expensive!

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.
