YouTuber Crashes Mercedes G63 AMG Through Fence Trying To Do Donuts

YouTube channel DailyDrivenExotics (DDE) has done it again with another headline-grabbing car accident, this time in a Mercedes G-Class. In a video featuring a series of off- and on-road shenanigans, the bunch managed to crash the G-Wagen straight through a fence, nearly rolling it over.

The video begins with DDE going through their showroom, which includes their newly-completed, custom windshield-less Lamborghini Huracan, among many other unique vehicles.

They then proceed to take said Huracan out and do donuts in the parking lot, until they have the idea to do the same with the G63 in the dirt lot next to it.

Despite the fact that it is supposed to be going up for sale soon, they take the G-Wagen onto the dirt lot and begin playing around. They kick up some mud and dirt, and slide around a bit, all accompanied by the G63’s V8 growl. However, after a few minutes of fun, they send the off-roader directly into a metal fence after rolling it over an embankment near the edge of the lot.

We’ve seen lots of Youtubers doing silly things just to garner views, but we guess crashing a G63, and nearly rolling over, most likely doesn’t fit in that category. In spite of the damage done to SUV, as they make their way over to it, they are laughing and smiling as if they didn’t just crash a range-topping Mercedes G-Class.

Unfortunately for them, the damage was fairly substantial. The crash resulted in scratches all over the roof and hood, and half of a metal pole drove its way through the front bumper, with the other half wedging itself in the frame and needing to be cut out. It should be repairable, but we’re not too sure if the next owner of this car would be happy to hear that a metal rod had previously impaled the front end of his new G-Wagen.

Range Rover Sport SVR And Mercedes-AMG G63 Get Summoned For A Series Of Tests

The Range Rover Sport SVR and Mercedes-AMG G63 got together again, this time in the Middle East, to show what they’re made of under the scorching sun.

Deemed as one of the most versatile vehicles out there due to its impressive straight-line performance and rock-crawling ability, the new generation G63 was driven flat out on a long straight against its challenger, the Range Rover Sport SVR, which is no slouch either.

The 2020 model year SVR example tested by ArabGT packs a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 that produces 567 HP (575 PS / 423 kW) and 516 pound-feet (700 Nm) of torque. From nought to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) it needs 4.5 seconds, and with the throttle floored, it will eventually run out of breath at 174 mph (280 km/h).

Equally fast to 62 mph (100 km/h), but with a lower top speed of “only” 149 mph (240 km/h) with the optional AMG Driver’s Package, the range-topping variant of the new-gen G-Wagen uses a twin turbocharged 4.0-liter V8. In terms of power, we are looking at 577 HP (585 PS / 430 kW) and 627 lb-ft (849 Nm).

The balance does tilt in favor of the G63, but power figures alone don’t always tell the whole story. That said, let’s see which of the two is quicker in a straight line acceleration in the following video, which is in Arabic, but it does speak the international language of speed and fun on four wheels. The action begins at the 2:10 mark, so you know the drill.
