2024 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G63 AMG Carbon Edition

The G63 AMG Carbon Edition takes the already theatrical G-Wagen formula and layers on additional carbon fibre trim and darkened AMG aesthetics, giving it a more aggressive visual signature than a standard G63 without straying into full aftermarket territory. The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 produces 577bhp and 850 lb-ft of torque, channelled through a nine-speed automatic and 4MATIC all-wheel drive — all of which makes the electronically limited 137mph top speed feel almost understated given what this thing weighs.

This 2024 example has covered 15,606 miles and benefits from the MANUFAKTUR interior package, specified here in black with contrasting white topstitching. Practical specification includes MULTIBEAM LED headlights, a heated steering wheel, heated and electrically adjustable front seats with memory function, and an electric sliding sunroof with one-touch opening. The towing capacity of 3,500kg is a reminder that the G-Wagen's ladder-frame origins are very much still present beneath the AMG performance hardware.

Carbon Edition G63s sit in an interesting gap in the market — factory-fresh build quality and warranty coverage with a more visually distinctive spec than the base G63, yet without the lead times and premiums attached to bespoke Manufaktur commissions. A sensible way into this version of the G-Wagen hierarchy.
