2013 G 63 AMG
Unhappy G63 AMG has already been discontinued

Just got the word from AMG in Germany...the G63 is no longer available as a special order from AMG. They only built seven of them in 2002 and have now run out of the "old" 5.8l V12 used in the S63, G63, and SL63. All of those models have now been discontinued. The only V12 vehicle available from AMG is the new CL65.

They are continuing development of the G55 and you can either get the standard version sold through MB dealers or, if you live outside the US, you can order a customized G55 in coupe, long, or cabriolet versions as a special order. They are also offering all kinds of interior/exterior customizations including multimedia systems and computer networking stuff.

That's something you would have had to discuss with your Mercedes-Benz importer / distribution (in you case: MBUSA) while they were still in production.

However, AMG Specials are always based on exisiting Mercedes-Benz models. I.e. you have to bring your CL 600 to Affalterbach to have it converted to a CL 65 and individualized by your specifications.

If you wanted a G 63, you had to bring you 3- or 5-door G-class to Affalterbach. I don't know why 2 of them are left. Maybe demo cars.

But if you are really interested in a ~200k car from which only 12 units exist, the trouble of importing one should be worth it.
