Debuting at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show next week, here’s the first look at the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG. This powerful SUV’s 5.5-liter twin-turbo engine is easily capable of hitting an amazing 544 horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque, a 20 hp increase over AMG’s last effort. Mercedes also outfitted their new off-road friendly ride with a series of fuel-saving technology, including an intelligent alternator that only works when needed helping the G63 to get an average of 17 mpg. On the outside, this G-Class maintains its classic overall look and stature, but it picked up a new front bumper with a large pair of cooling ducts, a double-slatted front grille, dual exhaust pipes, and a new set of five spoke shoes. The 2013 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG is expected to retail for about $180,000.
