G-Class [Official] Mercedes-AMG G63 AMG (W464)
- Thread starter Monster
- Start date
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, colloquially known as the G-Wagon or G-Wagen (as an abbreviation of Geländewagen), is a four-wheel drive luxury SUV manufactured by Magna Steyr (formerly Steyr-Daimler-Puch) in Graz, Styria, Austria, and sold by Mercedes-Benz. Originally developed as a military off-roader, later more luxurious models were added to the line. In certain markets, it was sold under the Puch name as Puch G until 2000.

I think I've said it before, but generally, I am anti-matte paint and anti-black wheels. But the G-wagen is a rare exception. That spec is just perfect. OEM wheels from M-B just look too "posh," but this looks absolutely proper on G-wagen

LOL, no, especially after rummaging around the above Insta account, I actually want something the opposite of a Brabus G63. I actually want something akin to the last gen Professional trim adapted to the W464.
Here's the W463 G350d Professional
My G-wagen wishlist....
Exterior: China Blue (refer to above pic) or Petrol Blue (this my new color obsession from M-B's of the 1970's...refer to @cawimmer430's photo thread for reference) or olive green. Any of those choices in a matte finish. Those black wheels from the above post. All the accoutrements from the Professional grade.
Engine: a stout diesel that has decent pick-up and good for long distances.
Interior: analog gauges with the center screen. Get rid of leather and wood and make it an interior that's still comfortable and yet easily clean-able.
While I understand the appeal an AMG or Brabus G-wagen has, something about barreling around in ungodly speeds in a car like this doesn't have that much appeal to me. Compared to other cars that hold my gaze and desire, the G-wagen is almost the diametric opposite to those more sporting or cruising type cars.

Mercedes-AMG G63 Celebrates 20th Anniversary With Cool Packages
The AMG Trail Package gives the high-performance SUV some proper off-road chops.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has a devoted following that adores the SUV’s boxy shape, and in AMG dress, it’s exceptional power. To Mercedes’ credit, engineers are doing their best to keep the popular people mover current both on and off the road. As such, the automaker announced some minor trim changes and fresh options earlier this week, including extensive customization features. However, there are a couple of packages for AMG models that warrant some extra attention.
We start with something called the AMG Trail Package. While the G-Class is certainly capable as an off-road machine, the high-performance G63 is often relegated to tearing up asphalt with extreme prejudice. This new package seeks to better utilize the Merc’s supercar-esque performance off the beaten path by softening the suspension just a bit. Yes, the AMG still has its adaptive setup, but everything is cushioned just a bit, and that can make a big difference on rougher terrain.
The package also includes special twin five-spoke 20-inch wheels with all-terrain rubber as well as mud flaps and increased underbody protection. It’s still safe to say the AMG G63 isn’t ready to go Raptor hunting on high-speed trails, but for G-Class enthusiasts who want to use AMG power for getting dirty, this could be a big step in the right direction.
The other offering is the curiously named Stronger Than Time Edition. This is relegated to an appearance package marking the 20thanniversary of the AMG-tuned G-Class. Stronger Than Time Edition models will wear a special grille in dark chrome, with a matte chrome finish for the running boards, exhaust tips, mirror housings, and various trim elements around the SUV. Naturally, it rides on package-specific 22-inch wheels, and among the various customizable interior items is a cool Stronger Than Time welcome projection that appears in the entrance area. Here’s hoping the G-Class does actually age well, otherwise that projection could get a bit awkward.
Mercedes hasn’t yet released pricing and availability for these packages.

This one here below is an aftermarket work, but good way to make a special Trail variant based on G63. It can be followed by a 4x4/2 & 6x6 with port-axle
