New technology and state-of-the-art powertain – 544-horsepower 5.5-Liter biturbo V8 & seven-speed automatic – enhance the luxurious & unstoppable 2013 Mercedes-Benz G63.
For the first time in the 33-year history of the G-Class, AMG customers can now enjoy some of the latest cutting-edge systems: spray-controlled gasoline direct injection, ECO stop/start function and alternator management. The G63 AMG 5.5-Liter V8 biturbo engine develops 544 horsepower and 560 pound-feet torque. This enables the 2013 G63 AMG to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. Its electronically limited top speed is 130 mph. The 2013 "strong man" in the Mercedes-Benz AMG model lineup boasts more power than its predecessor, the G55 AMG KOMPRESSOR, by 44 horsepower and 44 pound-feet of torque. The AMG version was a clear favorite for G-Class purchasers, accounting for 40 percent of sales globally.
Fitted with AMG’s Speedshift Plus seven-speed automatic and Eco Stop/Start function, the G63’s driving performance features are matched by its impressive advances in the area of fuel economy. Fuel consumption has been reduced by 13 percent (European cycle) compared with its predecessor.
The suspension/damper settings in the AMG Sports chassis offer increased dynamic handling characteristics. To reduce vibration and noise, optimized bearings for the automatic gearbox, transfer case and engine cut vibration and noise levels. All this ensures a more comfortable ride and helps to keep the driver fit and alert, particularly over long distances.
Wheels and brakes are also completely new and the 2013 G63 AMG runs on new standard equipment split five-spoke light alloy wheels. The 9.5 x 20 titanium-grey-painted wheels with high-sheen finish are fitted with 275/50 R 20 tires. New AMG high-performance brakes feature ventilated all-around, perforated brake discs - 14.8 x 1.42 inches at the front and 13 x 0.79 inches at the rear - and provide optimum thermal capability and outstanding deceleration. The front axle is fitted with six-piston fixed-caliper brakes from the ML 63 AMG, with a single-piston floating-caliper system on the rear axle. Red painted calipers are standard.
The G63 AMG interior features even more innovations, including a new instrument panel and infotainment and assist systems. A new AMG instrument cluster with color TFT screen, AMG main menu and separate gear display, plus white-lit AMG sills on all doors are standard. Interior options include trim in AMG carbon, designo Champagne white lacquer or designo light brown satin poplar.
