To drive the Mercedes-AMG G63 is to make fairly the assertion.

It prices £180k, produces 603bhp and makes sufficient noise to get you kicked out of the cul-de-sac WhatsApp group. It’s an train in extra, a willful abrogation of the ideas of etiquette and good grace.

There are those that will deny that the G-Class goes electrical and giving up a few of that squeal, however the reality of the matter is that the brand new G580 with EQ know-how is the unstoppable 4×4’s most excessive and succesful iteration but.

With 579bhp and torque at 859lb ft, it is solely barely much less highly effective than the V8-powered G63. It weighs three tons. It should solely do about 2.0mpKwh. It is completely ridiculous in some ways, but it surely drives nice, it is even higher off-road than a G63 and it has one factor the AMG does not: a humorousness.

It may possibly activate the spot like a tank, for one, and it might probably solely brake the within wheels in a nook that will help you whip round tight hairpins in essentially the most difficult of environments – or the Westfield automotive park. It really works a bit like a really high-tech handbrake twist.

The electrical G-Class can also be roughly the identical value as its shoutier sibling, and it justifies that parity by being much less sensible however extra whimsical.
