We really do have it easy on this side of the pond. In America, when you’re on the run from rival political parties, drug gangs, well-armed ex-wives or even just the police, chances are good you’ll be evading pursuit on paved roads. That means you choice of vehicle is somewhat open-ended, so long as it makes a reasonable amount of horsepower and has a decent range on a full tank of gas.

In much of the world, that’s simply not the case, which is why Mercedes-Benz builds the G 63 AMG uber-SUV (and it’s even faster brother, the G 65). Equipped with a twin-turbo V-8 tuned by AMG to produce nearly 540 horsepower, the G 63 can get you where you need to go, sehr schell, on any type of road surface. No, it probably won’t navigate the Rubicon Trail, but then again it can easily outrun any vehicle that can on most any surface.

You don’t have to be a warlord or a cartel leader to shop the G 63 AMG, you simply need the price of admission. If you live the kind of life that requires high-speed getaways both on and off-road, now is the time to see your Mercedes-Benz Dealer.
