Hofele has revisited the new-gen Mercedes-AMG G63, upgrading it inside and out but leaving the engine untouched.
At a first glance, one might think that it looks like any other stock G63, bar the new logos and 24-inch wheels made in-house, but the German tuner has taken care of other bits as well.

For one, it treated the exterior with carbon fiber at both ends and made the wheel arches wider. The custom grille replaces the stock one and the low-profile LED projector lights, mounted on the roof, improve visibility at night. Hofele’s range-topping G-Wagen also sports a pair of electrically-deployable side steps that move in and out as the doors are opened and closed. The patented feature improves ingress and egress and also incorporates the side exhaust tips, as the finishers move with it.
A fine selection of leather and Alcantara upholstery can be found inside, with the seats, dashboard, center console, door cards, headliner and pillars being fully re-trimmed. Customers can further personalize the interior of the new G63 with other details, such as the subtle perforations and stitching. Furthermore, the vehicle can be had as a four-seater, with two rear individual seats, and even as a six-seater, with an additional third-row in the back that can be easily removed when there’s need for additional cargo space.
As we already mentioned, the mechanicals carry over with no changes whatsoever. This means that the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 still pushes out 577 HP (585 PS / 430 kW) and 627 lb-ft (849 Nm) of torque, enabling a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) acceleration of 4.5 seconds and a 149 mph (240 km/h) top speed when equipped with the optional AMG Driver’s Package.
