The cross between a sporty vehicle and the usability of an SUV is the new standard in the car industry. There are some SUVs that excel at that, but the new Mercedes AMG-GLS 63 takes that idea and puts it front and center for the new release. Along with the space and versatility of an SUV, this release brings an updated version of the AMG M177 EVO engine. It brings a bevy of engineering advancements to the vehicle, boasting what they call "future proof." Keeping the hallmark of the luxury DNA intact while also stepping up the performance angle of their SUV portfolio.Through all of that, they don't forget to include what makes the AMG manufacturing the pinnacle of luxury innovation. Their philosophy for building engines one at a time with one Master Engine Builder.One man, one engineMercedesWhen I was in the Army, I had a commanding officer who used to beat it into our heads that his philosophy was inarguable: "If everyone is responsible, then no one is responsible." Basically, if the accountability falls on a group, no one person feels the need to step up. Therefore, all situations and all decisions have to have one person who is responsible for the execution of an order. The "one man, one engine" philosophy of the Mercedes AMG manufacturing takes that concept and applies it to building the engines. Instead of Henry Ford's coveted assembly line approach to mass producing a product, Mercedes assigns one Master Engine Builder to a single engine, ensuring the highest quality in every component of the engine.AdvertisementAdvertisementIn addition to the philosophy, here is the rest you can look forward to with the new Mercedes AMG-GLS 63 models:Comprehensively revised 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine produces 603 hp and 627 lb-ft of torqueIntegrated Starter Generator (ISG 2.0) supports highly agile accelerationNew front exterior design features a distinctive AMG radiator grille and an exclusive light signatureAMG RIDE CONTROL+ suspension and AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL active roll stabilization enable outstanding driving dynamics and ride comfortExpanded MANUFAKTUR exterior color palette offers even greater personalization options
