So, what sets the G63 Grand Edition apart from the standard derivative? Well, for starters, the limited edition’s bodywork is finished in MANUFAKTUR night black magno. The dark colour scheme is contrasted by an array of gold-coloured items. The ‘Kalaharigold mago’ hue has been applied to the Mercedes star, Affalterbach emblem emblazoned on the bonnet, ‘AMG’ logo, front and rear bumper inlays, the spare-wheel cover’s surround, 22-inch alloy wheels, and side decals. The interior also features contrasting black-and-gold trim elements, such as gold-coloured stitching for the black Nappa leather pews.

As a reminder, the pinnacle G-Wagon employs the Affalterbach automaker’s familiar 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8. The petrol unit produces 430 kW and 850 N.m of torque, sent to all four corners via the firm’s nine-speed AMG Speedshift TCT automatic transmission. According to the company, these figures allow the G63 to dispatch the obligatory 0-100 km/h sprint in 4.5 seconds, before topping out at an electronically governed 220 km/h. However, the latter can be lifted by 20 km/h to 240 km/h when specifying the correct package.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
