Mercedes Benz G-Wagon updated - G63 and G65 AMG also uncovered!

Mercedes Benz’s trusted G-Wagon has received a few updates to make the old-school SUV a more modern machine.

The biggest changes come with the AMG model – or rather AMG models.  The G55 AMG will be replaced by a G63 AMG and G65 AMG – meaning the 5.4-litre supercharged V8 engine and five-speed automatic transmission will finally be consigned to the history books.  The G63 AMG will make use of AMG’s 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8 engine producing 544hp and 760Nm (560lb ft) of torque, and sends its power through a 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission.  It also gets Mercedes Benz's ECO stop/start function.

The biggest surprise is indeed the introduction of the V12-engined G65 AMG, making it only the third ever mass-produced SUV with a V12 engine – others are the Lamborghini LM002 and Audi Q7 V12 TDI.  Its engine is the same twin-turbo 6.0-litre unit found in other 65 AMGs, producing an impressive 612hp and 1,000Nm (737lb ft) of torque.

2013 Dodge SRT Viper
The 2013 Dodge SRT Viper is without question one of the most anticipated cars of the year, and you can see it simply by going to the New York International Auto Show.

Hardcore Dodge fans will be thrilled to see the Viper again, especially since it was thought that the previous version would be the last one.  To make the fans even happier, it keeps its gigantic 8.4-litre V10 engine, and has even more grunt at 640hp and 600 lb.-ft of torque – still from a naturally aspirated engine.

In terms of layout, we still get the classic long nose, short rear look, accompanied by an all new aggressive looking body with side-exiting exhausts.  The driver will make use of a six-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels, while being cocooned by a modern-looking cabin.
