The Perfect Storm? Getting to Grips with AMG’s Mad 600-HP GLS 63

Riding This Ultimate 600 Horse Go-anywhere Monster Outs Your Inner Garbage Boss!

The Cape Northwester is an incredible thing. Some say it’s the perfect storm. Blasting inland off the chilly Atlantic, it drives the rain almost horizontally, sometimes for days on end. Perfect conditions for us to take delivery of our mad 600 horse Mercedes-AMG GLS 63.

A barnstormer of a machine, this 5,600-pound monster stopped our clocks at 4 seconds to 60 mph. And never mind the sink, it quite literally packs the whole hotel’s kitchen in there! Best of all, it brings the inner garbage boss out of you. Especially if you appreciate a chauffeured ride…

AMG GLS 63 Is a Monster of a Car

So, what about this monster of a car? Well, it’ll do Tony Soprano proud for sure. Imposing is not the word — dramatically enhanced by those optional disc-like matt black 23-inch wheels that add ’40s general’s Benz persona to it. Just in case.

Clamber aboard and you’re in the lap of luxury. Spacious and sensual in AMG Nappa leather style, GLS 63 has AMG-specific ‘Hey Mercedes’ MBUX infotainment and a splendid widescreen cockpit.

Like Lewis Hamilton, you will need to take a little time to figure everything out on this car’s 3-spoke AMG multifunction steering wheel first. With three tiers of buttons on each stalk and rotary dials, you truly are a master of the GLS 63’s destiny behind this wheel. GLS’s widebody instrumentation and infotainment crosses most of the dash and packs extra AMG magic. And don’t forget the heads-up too.
