Mercedes-Benz is really making their mark in 2018 – but it's no surprise. Their innovative technology has been the driving force behind their brand for decades. We've been keeping up with the latest in self-driving Mercedes – and it looks like “Intelligent World Drive” will be tested on 5 continents. 5 CONTINENTS IN 5 MONTHS.

Say Goodbye to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class

We at CK Auto Exclusive have enjoyed watching Mercedes-Benz vehicles grow and evolve. After almost forty years in the Mercedes family, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is starting to be phased out. The first model to go is the Mercedes-AMG G65. The G-Wagen has only received minor updates throughout its existence, mostly just to keep the tech fresh. In this article we look at what made the G65 a force to be reckoned with and what the G65 Final Edition has in store. MERCEDES BENZ SERVICE: THE G65 VERSUS THE WORLD Compared to modern SUVs, crossovers, and competitors, the G65 has three locking differentials and a twin-turbo V12. To celebrate the G-Class' legacy and end of G65 production, Mercedes-AMG has revealed the G65 Final Edition. There will only be 65 units produced worldwide. The Final Edition retains the twin-turbo V12 (630 horsepower and 738 pound torque) hitting 60 mph in 5.3 seconds. More than a third of all G-Class variants come from AMG, so it makes ... read more
