G-Class MY2013 'Sports Package'???

Dear All,

I just went to our dealership in Kuwait to purchase a new G500, and was told that the 2013 model has ceased production. I can only book a 2014 model which will start production in October 2013.

Anyway,

Going through the spec's list I noticed a 'SPORTS PACKAGE' which includes:

- AMG Fenders
- Titanium finish R18 wheels (same ones since 2009+ but with a dark finish code: RM9)
- Sports Exhaust???!!!

My question is, what is that sports exhaust??? By the looks its no different than the standard exhaust (tail pipes wise), and there is no extra 'grunt' or note to the sound.

Can anyone tell me what this sports exhaust is? is it similar to the AMG exhaust?

CHeers!

This is from the Mercedes Benz website:

The Sports package includes items which have been carefully chosen to match each other, to give the exterior an overall aura of sportiness. It combines elegant design with many sporty elements in a dynamic manner.


The elements of the Sports package at a glance:


  • AMG wheel-arch flaring in body colour
  • designo velour floor mats
  • Inserts in stripe-effect anthracite
  • Exterior Stainless Steel package
  • 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels in titanium grey finish with 265/60 R 18 on 7.5 J x 18
  • Sports exhaust system (only available for G 500)???

What's the difference in price between G63 and G500 WITH Sports Package?
