Any updates on g class for 2008? Just wondering

Been looking for updates on g class for 2008 wonder if they are going to do anything to it.

Hopefully a more refresh interior again or something? New engine maybe? I heard of a 63 motor going in but i asked the dealer they said nothing new just same old same old.

2013 G 63 AMG
The 2008 G-Class (worldwide) has a slightly more powerful 5.4L AMG supercharged V8 outputting just over 500bhp, revised interior, bi-xenon headlamps, reversing camera, cornering fog lights, and several other changes. It is already on sale in the US, Europe, and ROW.

I haven't come across any information on changes planned for the 2009 or 2010 model years.

Here you Go

Has all the details you need, 493bhp according to official data.

I mean its pretty fiesty the way it is (The Height doesn't help), with a 6.3L engine I have no idea how its going to put all that power down in a safe and stable manner unless you're a well trained and versed driver which 99% of the people are not.
