One of the most single-handedly overrated performance vehicles ever made, alongside the Cadillac Escalade-V. AMG and the V-series used to be for car enthusiasts who actually sometimes bothered to tune and rice out their cars. Nowadays, everyone and their dog owns a G63 AMG.
This is really nothing more than a G63 AMG in name only; older G63s and G65s were true AMGs, but this is not an AMG. In other words, a pre-facelift G550 with great handling and remapped turbos. Anyone can buy an AMG now. Back then it was either an enthusiast, a spec sheet nerd, or a divorced father living a midlife crisis.
Some AMGs are actually deserving of the name. The GT63 for example, the S63 also. Even the C63 hybrid, despite its flaws. But this, ain’t it. An electric G580 beats a G63.
