Mercedes updates G-Class with 463 edition and new V8 - Gizmag

The new G-Class also includes a variety of other mid-cycle tweaks, such as a revised suspension setup aimed at improving body control and enhancing on-road ride comfort. The electronic stability program has been tuned to offer improved driving dynamics and enhanced stability, while updates to the ASR and ABS aim to increase traction and shorten stopping distance. The adaptive damping system available optionally on the G 500 sharpens on-road agility and handling without cutting down on off-road capability. In terms of visual changes, the big news is the new EDITION 463 special edition, which is offered on AMG G 65 and AMG G 63 models. Mercedes styles the interior with a two-tone instrument panel, two-tone designo leather seats, diamond-pattern seat and door panels, nappa leather door pulls, and carbon fiber trim. AMG models can also be ordered with a newly available color package that combines the exclusive paint options of solar beam, tomato red, alien green, sunset beam and galactic beam with obsidian black components (mirrors, roof, bumpers, etc).
