2024 Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG G63 Manufaktur Edition

The G63 is the car that proves the G-Class never needed to be sensible. This 2024 Mercedes-AMG G63 in Manufaktur Edition trim pairs the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 (577 bhp, 0-62 mph in 4.4 seconds, 137 mph top speed) with the model's boxy, hinge-and-slab bodywork, a ladder-frame chassis, permanent all-wheel drive and locking differentials. The combination of that hand-assembled engine and the upright 1979-derived shape remains unlike anything else on the road.

This example is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic over a Black Nappa leather interior, and sits on 22-inch AMG multi-spoke forged wheels. Beyond the Manufaktur package it carries both the AMG Night Package (£2,250) and the Extended AMG Night Package (£2,995), which keep the exterior detailing dark and in keeping with the paint. Equipment includes a Burmester surround sound system, a 360-degree camera with parking assistance, heated front and rear seats, ambient lighting and LED high-performance headlights.

It has covered 5,119 miles, was supplied new in the UK and has had one owner from new. The Mercedes manufacturer's warranty runs until August 2027, which leaves useful cover on a car that is only a couple of years old.
