Mercedes-AMG has started testing the new generation
GLE 63 with our spy photographers capturing it in the wild, last month. However,
that set of images didn’t offer a good look into the powerful SUV's
Panamericana grille, which was also adopted by the AMG versions of the GLC and
GLC Coupe, but this video, shot on the Nurburgring, does.
Other features that will differentiate it from the
regular models will be the beefed up body kit, large wheels that spin around an
improved braking system, and the V8 symphony coming from under the hood.
The all-new Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 will be powered by
the German brand's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, available in two output
stages: 571 PS and 750 Nm of torque in the lesser variant, and
612 PS and 850 Nm of torque in the 'S' model. This is exactly
identical to the new AMG E63, which needs just 3.3sec to go from naught to
100 km/h, in 'S' guise.
With the regular versions of the GLE poised to
debut next year, the two AMG models should follow them shortly.
