Stories are popping up all over about this Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6 model, a limited-production monstrosity that’s designed to be sold only to one kind of clientele. Of course, we were not invited to the launch in Dubai because Mercedes-Benz didn’t deem us worthy enough to show our brown faces at the event.
Brabus held the world premiere of their incarnation of the Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG at the Qatar Motor Show. Dubbed the Brabus 800, the upgrade gives the G 65 AMG a massive power boost, and some optional exterior add-ons as well.
This is the weirdly-named Brabus B63-620 WIDESTAR. It’s named like so because it is based off of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG. And it has “620” horses. And it’s very wide.
Mercedes-Benz has revealed further details about their updated G-Wagen. Joining the mildly-updated 388 hp G 500 is the all-new 544 hp G63 AMG replacing the G55 AMG, as well as a limited-production 612 hp G65 AMG. The debut is set for the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, a sign that China is the hottest car market in the world right now.
Mercedes-Benz has released details on the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and the changes remain expectedly limited. The models on offer in the GCC include the G 500 and the new G 63 AMG and G 65 AMG models.
The Gelaendewagen, the legendary Mercedes-Benz that has lived on for over three decades in its same attire, appears to have been given some touch-ups for 2013, as seen in this early photo.
The longest-serving and most-outdated Mercedes-Benz model series, the G-Wagen, continues to enjoy strong sales around the world, including the Middle East. While its off-road capabilities have little to do with the Gelandewagen’s success, the company is still celebrating its GCC popularity with a special edition exclusively designed for the Middle East, dubbing it the G-Class Arabia 100 Limited Edition.
The U.S. NHTSA safety agency has a recall for the 2002-2010 Mercedes-Benz G-Class for what seems to be a non-issue, although as many as 3,522 G-Wagens are being called in for this in the United States.
Seeing Sheikh Mohammed zipping around Dubai in a Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a rolling tribute to the strength of the German manufacturer’s overengineered pre-1995 designs. The Geländewagen is the only Merc to survive the cost-cutting 1995-to-2005 era, when quality hit the crapper. Even the attempt to replace it with the characterless GL-Class flopped. It is hard to imagine that the vehicle that is a favourite with sheikh-copycats has been around since 1979.
