Who else can say their luxury performance SUV has a twin-turbo V12?
Mercedes-AMG has been responsible for its fair share of lovably zany luxury performance creations, whether that be the V8-powered R 63 AMG minivan, the compact A 35, or the F1-derived Mercedes-AMG ONE. However, one of the most loved and iconic is the G 63 AMG, but in the recent past, a speical model took the icon of the top-of-the-line G-Wagon to the next level, and that was the G 65.
Unlike the G 63, the G 65 was not powered by a twin-turbocharged V8, rather a twin-turbo V12. While the 6.0-liter M275 bi-turbo V12 powered a range of AMG models with the “65” designation, the G 65 was undoubtedly one of the most interesting, as the immense off-road Geländewagen was transformed into a beastly 621-horsepower luxury performance machine, with the glitz and unmistakable style of the G-Class to match.
Being one of the more peculiar and rare creations Mercedes-AMG is responsible for, it’s not easy to find one of these beauties for sale, but duPont REGISTRY is the place to look as it’s been the source for supercars since 1985. This specific 2016 Mercedes-AMG G 65 for sale is available at Galpin Aston Martin in Los Angeles, and it’s got everything that makes the G-Class special, and then some. Present is the G-Wagen’s unmistakable boxy look, along with its tall stature, and an interior with what seems to be acres of quilted leather. To remind you of its twin-turbo V12 brawn, AMG’s Affalterbach crest is proudly embossed on the headrests of the seats, letting you know that while you’re in the lap of luxury in this black-on-black G-Wagon, you’re also behind the wheel of a fearsomely powerful twin-turbo V12-powered machine.
If an iconic luxury SUV with a hand-built twin-turbocharged V12 engine that is sure to live on as an esoteric gem of automotive history, especially as the V12 slowly fades from the automotive world, sounds like something you’d want in your garage, make sure to check out this incredible 2016 Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG for sale.
