A clash of Graz and Affalterbach - combining the Off road prowess of Graz and the Emotion of AMG Affalterbach all into one over exaggerated G! The more G, G ever: the #MercedesAMG #G63 4x4²!

The aim of the game is more ground clearance, which we get thanks to the clever portal axles - but here totally redone vs the old G500. So yes, Mercedes have made cars of this ilk before with three quite famous vehicles in the recent past: The insane G63 AMG 6x6, the G 500 4x4² and then the G 650 Landaulet by Maybach - a car I still can’t believe exists!

As we all know, #AMG helmed the development of the new G anyway, so it is already better placed to spawn a crazy 4x4² than it’s predecessor was: which is why the last one was just a G500 4x4². The new car in standard form has independent front suspension, all adaptive, and got rid of the old recirculating ball steering -- which made this new gen G Wagon tower above the old one in dynamics. The G63 4x4² uses that same basis, but adds newly designed portal axles with less noisy helical gears, and this time a proper basis by AMG, to create the first G63 AMG Squared!

Whereas the old G500 Squared needed heavy modification in suspension, the new G only required the new spur gears and a subframe: everything above that is almost unchanged essentially. Indeed it’s massively more powerful, the old G500 only had 416 BHP and 0-60 is around 6.5, the new car has the full 585BHP and a quoted sprint to 60 of 5 seconds!!! Insane! All achieved by the standard Pirelli Scorpion ATR tyres, perfect partner for off roading and AMG road use!

It’s huge though, 2.25 Meters, makes me look 5’2! (I’m 5’10!) The portal helps gain more than ten centimetres compared to the G 63, and much steeper approach angles and wading depths for off roading. And weight wise, it’s at 2790kg, vs 2485 normal G63 - much less gain than I thought.

Since 2020, the brand “G Class” became a separate unit of the company, not unlike AMG and Maybach. Which shows you how seriously Mercedes are taking this car — proved by this car, and the upcoming electric G wagon or EQG!

Today we get to drive this on and off road, and I’ll show you all the carbon details and unique parts of the new G63 squared. Will I want to buy one by the end? Let’s find out!!

Up next on on RBR is the new M4 CSL first drive, and then the GT3 RS at Top Gear!! Subscribe to support us and see them first. :)
