With the G-Class, however, they\u2019ve continually updated everything inside the cabin and under the hood, all while holding true to the rugged and muscular framework that has defined the model. It\u2019s truly unmistakable.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div><div class=\"one_third\">\n<p><em><strong>The All-World Performance<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Whether a buyer opts for the G550, the AMG G63 or the G65, a common thread unites the three: go-anywhere grit. It starts with the G550, which now employs a 4.0L biturbo V8 generating 416 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque. This naturally segues into the G63 and G65, which offer a 563-hp V8 and 621-hp V12, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div><div class=\"one_third_last\">\n<p><em><strong>The Social Cachet<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s not mince words here: the G-Class is sexy.
