Roaring 4.0-litre V8 receives mild hybrid upgrade to 577bhp while active suspension improves handling
The hot Mercedes-AMG G63 has been revamped with extra power and an advanced new active suspension system that is designed to improve both its on- and off-road performance. Affalterbach’s take on the off-roader retains its potent 4.0-litre biturbo V8 powerplant, although the addition of a 48V integrated starter generator unit lifts its output by 20bhp to 577bhp.

The system is designed to allow for a wider roll spring rate while also reducing rolling motions, which means that it will remain more stable on-road without compromising off-road ability. “We know most G63 are used on-road where you don’t want roll, but you can’t compromise on off-road performance,” said Mercedes suspension engineer Jurgen Weiler. “This system can offer two distinct modes.
