As if the G Class wasn’t already ostentatious, at the
beginning of last year Mercedes-Benz introduced a “Crazy
Color” option for the G63 & G65 AMGs. One of the colors available is
Solar Beam ($17.318 / €15.348) applied on this G63 which is even more opulent
after Brabus installed its Widestar kit. Among the changes we mention the
vented hood with a carbon fiber central area and a beefier front bumper with
bigger air intakes and an extra set of LED daytime running lights.
Brabus
also installed massive 23-inch forged wheels with Yokohama rubbers, custom
headlights with a black tint, roof-mounted rear spoiler, and vented rear
fenders. The interior has also received the aftermarket treatment with
illuminated door sills, black leather upholstery with yellow stitching,
Alcantara headliner, and a sportier pedal set.
It wouldn’t be a complete tuning program without some optimizations
underneath the hood where the 5.5-liter V8 has been upgraded from 571
horsepower (420 kilowatts) to 700 hp (515 kW). There’s no word about the torque
figure of this particular vehicle, but we checked the tuner’s website and found
out the package for the G63
bumps torque to 709 pound-feet (960 newton meters) from the standard 561 lb-ft (760
Nm).
The extra punch cuts the 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) sprint by half
a second to just 4.9 seconds, while top speed increases by 19 mph (30 kph) to 149
mph (240 kph). That’s not too shabby for a vehicle that weighs a hefty 5,621
pounds (2,550 kilograms).
