Since the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG has been a "love it or hate it" vehicle ever since the nutters from Affalterbach decided to actually build an AMG versionof the venerable off-roader, any kind of aftermarket tuning package for the model since then has been faced with the same problem.
From a very subjective point of view, we're not exactly drooling over the latest G-Wagen creation from the tuning specialists at German Special Customs.
The tuning package consist of what GSC calls a “befitting its performance” exterior , albeit we fail to see how a red color, 23-inch light alloy wheels and a rear bumper design that mimics an aerodynamic diffuser are what “Doctor Tasteful” ordered for the bonkers off-roader.
The wide body kit, apart from the rear “diffuser” isn't actually that bad-looking, but along with the color combo and the prairie schooner-like wheels, isn't exactly giving us the eye-candy that we were expecting from GSC. Not to mention the fact that a real aerodynamic diffuser would make jack squat on a car with a Cd of 0.56.
On the plus side, the not-exactly puny 544 hp and 760 Nm (561 lb ft) of torque of the M157 engine were worked upon as well by the tuners from Chemnitz. Courtesy of a re-worked exhaust system and an ECU upgrade, the “Red Baron” in the adjacent photos develops “around 620 hp.”
