Bling G63 Rolls into South Africa

Breaking News: The G-Wagon has gone bling-bling! And only 20 lucky South Africans will get to parade this golden beast through Sandton’s urban jungle.

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare your wallets, because Mercedes-Benz has just dropped the mic with the new Mercedes-AMG G 63 "Grand Edition." This isn’t just another G-Wagon, it’s the Beyoncé of SUVs—exclusive, extravagant, and draped in black and gold like a luxurious bruise. With only 1,000 units available worldwide and a mere 20 headed to South Africa, you’ll have a better chance of spotting a unicorn in the Kruger than catching one of these on the N1.

The Godfather of SUVs Just Got a Gold Chain

Mark Raine, co-CEO of Mercedes-Benz South Africa, was clearly in a poetic mood when he declared, "The G-Class is the Godfather of the SUV." And he’s not wrong. Since its debut in 2002, the Mercedes-AMG G 63 has been the Don Corleone of the off-road world—demanding respect, exuding power, and looking absolutely untouchable while doing it. Now, with the "Grand Edition," it’s as if the Godfather got a gold chain and said, "Yeah, I still run this."

A Colour Scheme Fit for Royalty (or a Really Wealthy Gold Miner)

The "Grand Edition" struts its stuff in MANUFAKTUR night black magno, but it’s the Kalaharigold magno accents that really steal the show. These golden details aren’t just for flash—they trace the lineage back to the first G model from 1979, making sure you know that this isn’t just a car; it’s a piece of automotive royalty. Picture it now: gold AMG logos, a golden Mercedes star, and a splash of gold on everything that counts. Even the spare wheel gets the Midas touch!

And those 22-inch AMG forged wheels? They’re in tech gold too, naturally. This thing rolls into town like it owns the place. The only thing missing is a golden steering wheel… oh wait, the steering wheel clasp does have a G 63 plaque on it. Never mind.

Inside: Where Even the Floor Mats Get the Golden Treatment

If the exterior wasn’t enough to dazzle your senses, wait until you step inside. The cabin is like stepping into a modern-day pharaoh's tomb—black nappa leather seats with gold stitching, plaques with gold AMG logos, and even floor mats that scream luxury with every golden-threaded stitch. The roof grab handles are nappa leather too, because why not?

But the pièce de résistance? The carbon fiber with copper thread trim that just screams, “I’m here to conquer the off-road world in style.” And, of course, there’s a badge that says “Grand Edition” because subtlety is overrated.

What’s the Damage?

Let’s talk numbers—R5,474,512 to be exact. But hey, that includes a service and maintenance plan, so it’s practically a bargain. I mean, who wouldn’t want to pay that for the privilege of owning a G-Wagon that looks like it rolled off the set of a music video?

So, if you’re in the market for an off-roader that doubles as a fashion statement, or if you just want to make sure your neighbors never outshine you again, the Mercedes-AMG G 63 "Grand Edition" is your ticket to vehicular immortality. But act fast—these 20 golden chariots won’t be around for long.
