Launched in 1979 in its civilian version, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class remained largely unchanged to this day. Now an icon of the SUV market, the G-Wagon is also one of the very few vehicles to still carry its classic body and chassis configuration. The boxy Merc underwent several updates since 1990, but a beefed-up, AMG-badged version wouldn’t arrive until 2006.
That first version came powered by a supercharged, 5.5-liter V-8 and dubbed G55 AMG. The G-Class received a makeover for the 2012 model, when output was increased to 536 horsepower and the nameplate switched to G63 AMG. That same year, an even more extreme version was introduced – the G65 AMG. This SUV is powered by a 6.0-liter V-12 that generates 604 ponies and 738 pound-feet. Unfortunately, we couldn’t have it in the U.S. But that all changed starting in 2016 as the Germans started offering the G65 AMG on these shores as well.
Of course, the G65 AMG is not just about a V-12 engine. Compared to the G63 AMG, the utterly powerful SUV is distinguished by a high-gloss chrome grille, exclusive 20-inch AMG wheels, and a more luxurious interior. The seats, the door panels, and the instrument panel are upholstered in Designo leather. The seats are complete with a diamond design with AMG headrests. Piano black Designo trims and Designo floor mats round off the G65 AMG’s bespoke interior.
The biturbo, 6.0-liter V-12 powerplant mates to an AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic. The autobox channels the 604 ponies and 738 pound-feet to all four wheels with maximum precision and enables the SUV to charge from naught to 60 mph in only 5.3 seconds. Top speed may be limited to 142 mph, but that 0-to-60 mph sprint makes it faster than a Porsche Panamera hybrid or a BMW 550i.
