Mercedes G65 AMG
We probably won’t have to wait much longer until Mercedes-Benz officially introduces its new G65 AMG as three units were spotted in Dubai. As you can see, the car looks pretty much the same like the older models, with the exception of the more aggressive front bumper, the revised grille and the bigger air intakes, while the side mirrors now have a different design.

Inside the cabin, we can see that the interior has been considerably improved and it has a new instrument cluster with a speedometer that goes all the way up to 320 km/h. Also new is the center console which features a revised command controller and gear knob, while the steering wheel and the center stack have been upgraded.

Most likely, the new Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG will feature a massive V12 6.0-liter engine that should churn 612 hp and approximately 1,000 Nm of torque. This is considerable more than the G55 AMG which has a V8 5.5-liter with “only” 507 and a peak torque of 700 Nm.

According to various sources, the German automaker will roll out only 200 units of the G65 AMG and each of them will cost about 250,000 Euros. The car is most likely scheduled to be unveiled in January at the 2012 Detroit Motor Show.

This won’t be the first time when Mercedes-Benz has installed a V12 engine in a G-Class as they’ve done it before in 2002 when they fitted the G63 AMG with such a power unit that developed 444 hp and 620 Nm of torque. That car was able to do the 0-62 mph sprint in 6.5 seconds, en route to an electronically limited top speed of 210 km/h.
