2024 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G63 AMG

Mercedes-AMG's G63 needs little introduction: a boxy 1970s military-derived shape wrapped around a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 making 577 bhp and 850 lb-ft of torque. This 2024 example is finished in Obsidian Black with the AMG Night Package, which swaps the bright exterior trim for darker elements and leaves the car looking suitably menacing. It is a one-owner car, which is a useful detail given how heavily these are used in the real world.

With 26,655 miles on the clock it has seen regular use, but that is modest for a G-Wagen of this age. The nine-speed AMG Speedshift transmission and permanent 4MATIC all-wheel drive send the power down, and Mercedes quotes 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds, with a top speed of 137 mph on this car's listing. The figures are remarkable for something with the aerodynamics of a wardrobe.

Equipment includes the parking package with a 360-degree camera and front and rear PARKTRONIC sensors, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated rear seats and automatic headlights. Its 3,500 kg towing capacity is a reminder that beneath the performance and presence, this is still a properly capable off-roader.
