Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG G63 Carbon Edition

The Mercedes-AMG G63 Carbon Edition is the last of the pre-mild-hybrid G 63s, still running the hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with 577 bhp and 627 ft-lb of torque. That's enough for 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds and a limited 137 mph, which is brisk for a ladder-frame SUV with a drag coefficient closer to a garden shed. The Carbon Edition layers on AMG carbon-fibre trim, the Night Package and 22-inch AMG cross-spoke forged wheels, with the AMG Performance Package also fitted.

This 2023 car is finished in Emerald Green Metallic, a welcome departure from the usual black, white and grey. Inside, the MANUFAKTUR package (a £7,995 option) brings Espresso Brown and Black Nappa leather, with a Black DINAMICA roof liner and a heated carbon-fibre and MICROCUT steering wheel. Other equipment includes AMG Ride Control suspension, a Burmester surround sound system, a 360-degree camera with Parktronic, MULTIBEAM LED headlights, a sliding sunroof, stainless steel side running boards and a trailer coupling.

It has covered 16,820 miles and is a UK-supplied car. The whole body is protected with paint protection film, and it came with a Romans International Platinum Warranty. The car is listed as sold, so this entry serves as a record of an unusually specified late-run V8 G63.
