2013 Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG

(continued from above)

The G 65 AMG accelerates from zero to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds, and has an electronically limited top speed of 143 mph (230 km/h). This is the first G-Class vehicle to be equipped with the AMG 6.0-liter V12 biturbo engine, which features new exhaust turbochargers with increased spiral cross-section, flow-optimized wastegate channels, multi-spark ignition with twelve double-ignition coils and a higher-power engine control unit. The result is enhanced combustion, leading to smoother running and power delivery. The high-quality carbon and aluminum engine cover adds a final visual touch to this extensive package of new features. As in the G 63 AMG, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission system is responsible for power transmission to all four wheels.

In terms of appearance, the G 65 AMG is differentiated from its V8 sister model by the high-gloss chrome radiator grille, the 9.5 x 20 AMG five-spoke light alloy wheels, painted titanium grey with high-sheen finish, its 275/50 R20 tires and the V12 BITURBO logo on the mudguards.

Interior features include the welcome display with exclusive AMG V12 BITURBO animation, the designo leather exclusive upholstery and the leather instrument panel trim. A unique special touch is the distinctively V12 diamond design of the seats, including the impressed AMG medallion on the headrests. This distinctive upholstery feature is repeated on the door central panels. A comprehensive range of standard equipment includes black piano lacquer designo trim features and designo foot mats with a V12 badge. An exclusive special option from the AMG Performance Studio is AMG light alloy wheels, painted matt black with high-sheen rim flanges.

The G63 AMG and G 65 AMG models are available only in the station-wagon long version. Market launch is as from June 2012.

The G 65 AMG is not available in the US.
