Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Light Black (25RN-067)

25RN-067 is a model of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class W463 1st gen, namely a G 63 AMG, or Mercedes-AMG G 63, painted in black, most likely either gloss black or Obsidian Black.

The G-Class W463, 1st generation was in production from 1990 to 2018, when it was substituted by the W463, 2nd generation (some media erroneously refer to this model as the W464). The model started as G-Wagen but in 1994 the name was changed to G-Class. The vehicle is manufactured by Magna Steyr in Austria, and sold by Mercedes-Benz. The model features 3 electrically controlled locking differentials and its power output ranges from 93hp to 621hp. It was offered in a variety of body styles including 2 and 4 door cabriolets, and a 6 wheel pick up truck. Curiously there is a different G-Class also being sold (W461). While the W463 is catered to the consumers who seek more creature comforts and better driving dynamics, the W461 is built specifically for military, public authorities, and non-governmental organisations. Both the W463 and the W461, are evolutions of the older W460, which entered the market in 1979.

In 2012, Mercedes-Benz introduced the G 63 AMG, a G-class fitted with a 5.5 liter V8 producing 536hp, as a replacement for their G 55 AMG. In 2015 the power went up to 563hp and the model changed its name to Mercedes-AMG G 63. During this period there was also a V12 version named G 65 AMG (with an equivalent name change, and power increase in 2015). In 2018, the W463 2nd gen was introduced, bringing with it a new Mercedes-AMG G 63 (V8), but not a G 65 (V12). Curiously the name G 63 AMG was used before in 2002, for a production run of 5 vehicles fitted with a 6.3 liter V12 producing 437hp. Usually these are known as G 63 AMG V12, to the distinguish them from the more common and recent versions.

The Era Car model does not have metallic flake in the paint meaning most likely is modeling a gloss black car. However Obsidian Black, albeit metallic, can also be an option. Other black metallic paints on offer were: Mocha Black, designo Platinum Black, and designo manufaktur Black Opal. In addition there was a matte black on offer named designo Magno Night Black.

The Era Car model comes with the fine details we are used to. Of note are the side badges (V8 BiTurbo), the very detailed engine bay, chrome spare wheel cover, metal grey side sills and radiator grille, painted exhaust on the underside, rear window defroster lines, inserted headlights, tinted rear side windows, and sun roof. The most striking feature is perhaps the trunk opening mechanism, since the hinges are located on the side, the trunk opens laterally like the real vehicle. The wheel design with 8 double spokes seems to be inspired by the 7 double-spoke 22 inch from the W463, 2nd gen G-class (a4634012000), and by the 9 double spoke featured in the Brabus G700. The Era Car wheels are definitely too small and are not to scale.

Another thing of note is the SKU model designation. Era Car uses 4x4, however there is a G-Class of this generation that is known for that name (Mercedes-Benz G 500 4x4²), featuring a considerable wider and higher stance than the traditional G-Class.

The first special edition (25RF-068) is almost a completely different vehicle. It is a non AMG G class, with a Taiwan Highway Police livery and police light bar on the roof.

In the table below you can see the dimensions of the model. Consider some margin of error, given how small the units are, and the difficulty of capturing accurate measurements without damaging the model.
