Gear Torques: Mercedes AMG-G 63 - From military roots to red carpet roads
The Mercedes-AMG G 63 wasn’t always a luxury icon. What started out in the late 1970s as a no-nonsense military vehicle has transformed into a global status symbol, now as common on city streets as it once was in rugged terrain.

In Episode 5 of Gear Torques, Dan Koh unpacks the fascinating evolution of the G-Wagon, explores its specs in everyday terms, and weighs whether the reality of driving one lives up to the legend. Tune in to find out if the G 63 is truly timeless, or just nostalgia wrapped in luxury.
