The Mercedes-AMG G 63 4x42 is not your everyday SUV. Originally built as an off-road vehicle, Mercedes has evolved the G-Class into one of the most coveted lines of luxury SUVs in the world.
Undeniably the pinnacle of its line, The Mercedes-AMG G 63 4x42 is built with increased ground clearance, carbon-fiber fenders, carbon-fiber windscreen, and gigantic 22-inch wheels. But what makes this a truly refined beast is its 577bhp AMG 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 engine with 627 lb-ft of torque along with its portal axles. These axles allow it to sit nearly 14 inches higher off the ground than a regular G-Class, scale 45-degree inclines, and easily wade through almost three feet of water.
It's features like that (along with its hefty sticker price) which made this a perfect new casting to debut in the Red Line Club.
“It’s a hefty model with a die-cast body, diecast chassis, and diecast roof,” explains designer Brendon Vetuskey. “It’s also well detailed with flush mount windows as well as separate side view mirrors and a Real Riders spare tire – not plastic as might be found on lower cost products.”
The Hot Wheels design team exchanged dozens of revisions and emails with the licensor and plant staff to create this near-perfect rendition. “Mercedes-AMG was able to provide us with CAD geometry of this model, which we scaled down to help ensure we designed the most accurate 1:64 model we can possibly make,” Brendon says. This first-ever edition of the Mercedes-AMG G 63 4x42 is available exclusively to RLC members on April 9 at 9am PT.
