  • If you thought, though that Mercedes-Benz wasn't up to some mischief at the Beijing Motor show, well, you are wrong. They took one shoe box of a G-Wagen and spiced it up with a V12 motor that's good for 620 bhp!
  • Yes, this G-Wagen has got some serious muscle power and it's gunning for the 'most powerful production SUV' gong. The bi-turbo, V12 G65 AMG comes with 102 kgm of torque - too mad for words - and we are sure, when we get behind the wheel, we're going to be left mumbling and speechless
  • Where the G-Wagen really needed an update was on the insides and it has got a significant update on that front. The centre console and the instrumentation has been completely redesigned, the materials used look more premium while the entertainment system has a new COMAND Online Infotainment system that includes GPS navigation and internet access.
  • If 620 bhp is too much to handle, then the G63 AMG is also available with a V8 under the hood, good for 544 bhp, up 42 horses from the earlier generation. Interestingly, this one comes with start-stop mode and is a tad more Eco-conscious, but hey it can still leave mile-long black lines on the tarmac
  • Options from this year onwards include Blind Spot Assist, parking assist and adaptive cruise control. As is the trend these days, LED daytime running lights have also been included.

For the saner lot, there's always the G350 CDI and the G500 V8, though they won't be causing your heart to skip a beat anytime soon.
