Older Mercedes-AMG G63 Gets The Liberty Walk Touch Of Extravagance

Is there such thing as having too much carbon fiber add-ons on a car? Not if it’s a Mercedes-AMG G63 tuned by Liberty Walk.

Merc’s previous-gen super SUV has received a complete body kit that’s available in FRP, CFRP and Dry Carbon, with the most expensive option costing $23,890 for markets outside Japan.

In the fully loaded offering, it consists of a specific grille, front apron, fender flares, hood, front roof spoiler, rear wing and spare wheel cover. The lesser version of the tuning kit costs $19,560 in Dry Carbon and misses out on the spare wheel cover and front grille, whereas the base pack drops the front roof spoiler and custom bonnet as well and costs $12,000.

Going for the same look as this AMG G63 means having to select the aftermarket exhaust system and wheels too, as well as the special decals that adorn several parts of the exterior.

Liberty Walk hasn’t tuned the engine, but it’s not like the AMG G-Wagen is in dire need of power. Quite the opposite, as even this previous generation model has a very healthy 563 hp (571 PS / 420 kW) and 561 lb-ft (760 Nm) of torque courtesy of its 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that’s coupled to a 7-speed auto.

The official 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) acceleration is completed in 5.3 seconds, while top speed is capped at 130 mph (209 km/h) top speed. Not bad for an “old” model with the aerodynamics of a brick.
