In Vietnam, the Mercedes-AMG G 63 has been a favorite among the wealthy for the past 5 years due to its rugged design, reasonable price, and impressive performance. Apart from the Brabus upgrade that is commonly seen on G 63s, some more affluent individuals have opted for tuning packages from brands such as TopCar Design, Urban Automotive, Hofele Design, and others.
This Mercedes-AMG G 63 is one such example, as its previous owner upgraded it to the G 63 AMG Winner package from Larte Design, a tuning company from Russia. Notably, this is the only G 63 in Vietnam to feature this upgrade. Furthermore, the bodykit’s serial number 001 signifies that it was the first G-Class in the world to receive a tuning package from Larte Design.
At the time of its purchase, the vehicle was valued at over 12 billion VND. The previous owner had to pay over 13 billion VND to get this SUV on the road. Currently, the car has been used for around 30,000 km over the past 5 years. The asking price set by the car dealership is over 9 billion VND. As such, the owner has incurred a loss of up to 5 billion VND, including the expensive upgrades made to the car, such as the bodykit, rims, and exhaust system.
After 5 years of use, the car’s overall condition is still very good. The original white paint remains intact. The front end of the car makes a striking impression with its angular bumper, which features multiple air ducts in the middle, resembling a diffuser.
The two bumper covers and the grille have been replaced with carbon fiber ones. The hood is made of the same material, and it features a fake air vent and ribs to reduce the monotony of the original car. While not as muscular as the Brabus upgrade, this styling still adds a sporty touch to the vehicle.
Similarly, the rear of the car has been enhanced with a cover featuring two fake vents on either side and a carbon fiber cover instead of the plastic one. The spare tire compartment cover is also part of the Larte Design package, bearing the manufacturer’s logo and accented with ribs.
The roof has an LED lighting system around the edges, and the rear spoiler is also made of carbon fiber. The sides have additional carbon fiber covers on the running boards. According to Autodaily’s research, this package costs at least 700 million VND in foreign markets.
In addition, the previous owner upgraded the original five-spoke rims to multi-spoke Y-shaped rims finished in Satin Gray by Brixton Forged. According to a foreign website, this set of 23-inch rims currently sells for around 12,344 USD (equivalent to over 300 million VND).
The FI Exhaust system on the car cost the Saigon owner over 160 million VND, delivering a more powerful and resonant sound compared to the original twin-turbocharged engine.
The interior is upholstered in white leather with black accents. Since the car has only been driven for 30,000 km, the leather upholstery, such as the seats, handles, and knobs, is still in good condition. However, the car lacks some options like rear-seat entertainment screens, a carbon fiber steering wheel, and alcantara upholstery.
On the other hand, many interior details are made of carbon fiber with a distinct red finish, such as the door panels, dashboard, grab handles on the passenger side dashboard, center console, air vent surrounds, and screen bezels. Additionally, the lower frame of the front seats has also been upgraded to carbon fiber.
Under the hood of this unique Mercedes-AMG G 63 tuned by Larte Design in Vietnam is a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine, delivering 577 horsepower and 850 Nm of
