Beastly Mercedes-AMG G63 Modified for Pikes Peak Dominance

With its triumph over various terrains, the Mercedes G-Class is hailed as a conqueror of nearly every environment known to man. Taking it a step further, the G-Class introduces its fast variant, the G63, making it a seamless choice for Pikes Peak.

Pikes Peak, renowned for its challenging hill climb, stands as a pinnacle in the realm of motorsports. While watching the entire event might not be feasible, the cars specially crafted for this occasion showcase unparalleled uniqueness. These extraordinary vehicles boast imposing aerodynamic features and immensely powerful engines, engineered to excel at high alтιтudes with thinner air.

So far, only a few luxury SUVs have tried to go up Pikes Peak, Range Rovers and Bentleys, always in a stock format so that automakers have another excuse to print out press material. We’d actually prefer it if they’d go down the highly customized route because many big SUV buyers try to add their own touches.

Wouldn’t it be cool if suddenly people started adding this kind of aero to their G63s? It would probably do bad things to the resale value, but at least we’d be entertained.

As you may have guessed, these aren’t real pH๏τos, but 3D models based on the real G63, and it’s impossible to see this as anything other than a hill climber. The 2.5-ton slab of metal now sits close enough to the ground to scrape every carbon spoiler or winglet. There’s a lot of them too, working around much wider tires.

We’re not sure the open areas would make for good streamlining, but they do let us see the “guts” of the project, including what’s under the hood. Where’s the engine? Somewhere in the middle, and the bay has thus been filled up by two giant turbochargers, big enough for trucks and probably not connected to an AMG V8, since this hasn’t been modified for these kind of jobs. Instead, we’d probably use a Nissan VK56, like the boys in the Arab Emirates are using in their 2,000 horsepower monsters.
