Hi
i found this images over internet Looks like future AMG version of GL-Class

I thought that AMG said that they were not interested in doing a version for the GL. The coment was along the lines of the GL does not fit the feel of what AMG is about and could never feel sporty with that much weight and high center of gravity. Pics could be of a big engined version without being designated AMG model, that said never say never.

Maybe a AMG body kit?

 

If that's a body kit, then it's the first for AMG to offer with the quad exhaust and front wheel air inlets. It looks "beefy" as in "the real thing". With the GL still selling briskly it would make sense for the MB marketing mavens to change their original plans of not to produce a '63 version. My guess is you'll see the GL63 sooner rather than later.

 

GL63 Test mule -- and it has already been to the Nurburgring...

It'll be available here in the States early next year.

 

Why so sure? Who told you about that? I haven't heard anything about it yet.

 

I know that they are and have been doing the GL63 test mules.

I know that one or more of those test mules has been running at the Nurburgring -- and it is assumed that they have accomplished what they wished to learn there, and are done with that phase.

I don't know that the pictures posted at the start of this thread are indeed of an actual test mule. I do notice that it is not wearing body camoflague....

It could be a test mule....

That clearer?

 

Spoke to my dealer today and he said the GL63 will go on sale April of 07 in the US.

 

hi

are you sure its a GL63 AMG as its running on wheels very similar to lorniser LM6 wheels could it not be a lorinser prototype mule ?

 

anyway any more photos or where to find them as what ever it is i think it looks brilliant

 

There are NO plans for the GL63. Trust me.

 

If so it will first break cover at one of the upcoming Autoshows, Paris in Sept, L.A. in November or Detroit in January. I hope they don't go this route, but the equally pointless R63 happened so........

The shows - or a press release....

 

My information is contrary to this prediction. Please do not ask me to elaborate....thanks AsianML

 

Those are Lorinser wheels

 

Edmunds posted this interview with the man himself, Volker Mornhinweg - the Boss at AMG.

From the interview:

Does this signal a change in strategy?
We must think more clearly about our products. In 1999, the policy was for AMG to produce a top-of-the-line version of each model, but this has changed. There will not be an AMG version of the [European] A-Class or B-Class. There is huge demand for the ML63, but AMG won't produce a derivative of the new GL-Class.

Here's a link to the whole interview:

Hi-ho, hi-ho, its off to Affalterbach I go....

 

I read in Top Gear a few months back (they did a GL in depth) that AMG officials "indicated" there would be a GL63. Of course some of you guys have stronger information than this but I simply take the view that there's an R63 so why not?

 

As Chappy indicated, there will no plans for a GL63 AMG, and you can trust our source. Please don't ask us to elaborate.

 

Well, Edmunds just gave the R63 rave reviews -- so maybe we don't 'need' a GL63 over here in the States. Maybe MBUSA made the call on no GL63 here in the States....

I guarentee you that the AMG Performance Studio will plop a 6.3L V8 in that puppy for me and perform the rest of the AMG treatment to the suspension, brakes, etc. -- without any help or hindrance from MBUSA.
