Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Yellow (24RN-065)

24RN-065 is a model of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class W463 1st gen, namely a G 63 AMG, or Mercedes-AMG G 63, painted in yellow. The Era Car model seems to be inspired by the crazy color series, specifically by the solar beam (yellow) vehicle.

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 seems to take inspiration from a variety of sources. In 2015 (and subsequent years) Mercedes-Benz offered the G63 (and 65) AMG in 5 distinct colors called Crazy Color Editions. Among them there was a yellow version called solar beam (or solar ray). Like the Era Car model, it also had the roof in black, and sometimes even the hood, but unlike the Era Car model it also had black bumpers, black side mirrors, spare wheel cover in body paint and black. and a different set of wheels. Other sources of inspiration could be some aftermarket versions of the G-Class, like the yellow Mansory Gronos or the yellow Brabus G700. However none match the Era Car model perfectly.

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, black contrast lines on the body, black wheel arches, black roof, metal grey side sills, painted exhaust on the underside, rear window defroster lines, inserted headlights, carbon fiber patter on the hood, tinted rear side windows, and a modeled light bar on the 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.

This model is similar to the 24RF-066, with the only differences being the body color, and the carbon fiber pattern area on the hood.

The model featured in the gallery has a funny quirk - the front right wheel has a completely different design, and must have been installed by mistake. 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 G 63 AMG.

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.
