Welcome to the Silent D Motor Show. I'm your host Silent D.
And today, I'm on my way to a Mercedes-Benz dealership to pick up a brand new G-Wagon.
Yes, I know the G Wagon is ridiculous. Yes, I know there are better, definitely better value
luxurious SUVs out there, like the Range Rover, but I just love the boxy look of it.
It's an automotive icon. Even the Pope has one!
Mercedes staid true to their initial concept for 40 years, but next year their changing it up,
so now is the last chance to get what I would argue is an INSTANT CLASSIC!
That's why I'm including it on this channel, and you may see more of it in the episodes to come.
But first another hour on
London's public transportation, before we're at the dealership, so catch you there.
Alright here we are.
Huh, is that it!?
Here we go!
Check this out! We got flowers.
And this is the...
cooler, right? Yeah.
There is a running-in period
with that engine. A what? A running-in period. Running-in period? What does that... Oh, running-period, got it! So I just ask you to be a little
a little mindful of the revs of the engine if you wouldn't mind.
That's your spare key. You need to keep hold of that.
Have you had a Mercedes before? No.
Ok, so the main controller, this will do the radio, the telephone and all your media, and it's operated via here.
So, this is the first time I drive on UK soil and
Well, turns out to drive on the other side of the road here.
That's confusing.
So, it's pretty much rush hour in London right now, so we're not moving very fast...
Let me tell you a story then.
So, this car is not actually called G-Wagon. That's a nickname rather.
The G stands for Gelände as in Geländewagen, which is German and means
terrain vehicle.
And this one is the G63 AMG.
So, that means it's souped up. It got
5.5 liter bi-turbo v8. I believe it's 571 horsepower.
It's got 7-speed automatic, but it still got
those offroad features that
made this car what it really is.
So this is 4x4, but you can even lock every one of the differentials, three in total
To basically go through anything, up everywhere, down anywhere, whatever.
I'm going to try to find a spot and pull over instead of dealing with this traffic and then get some
exterior shots.
So let's just pull up right here and get some exterior shots.
You can tell it's an edition 463 from that
protective engine aluminium cover right there,
and it has slightly larger wheels at 21 inches, and then it comes with this AMG stripe,
right there.
That I have removed because I think it looks tacky, and it's just much cleaner and better-looking without.
Of course the double side pipe exhaust.
And that's it, there you have it. Let's go and have a look at the engine.
All AMG engines are hand built by..., so have this like famous
philosophy, one man - one engine, so this engine is
built by Michel Marques.
Good job there! So yeah. You know, in the final stage they will will sign it.
Thank you so much for watching.
