Not official but intuitive based on the available info. Checkout RBR videos...

MB also registered G73 as a model designation, someone posted it a while back.

No thanks... Power and weight, 2 things the G63 doesn't need more of and which the addition of a battery will introduce.
Hell the current G63 can barely put down its power, why does it need more? Id save the money and future headaches of a hybrid system and enjoy what is surely a dying breed of car.

Wouldn't doubt it.

I'm sure the G will go electric soonish, or at the very least have a variant.
