 The German brand has revealed its new AMG GT 4-Door, a direct competitor to the Porsche Panamera Turbo

 The 4-Door pair will join the two-seat, two-door GT coupe and convertible variants in Mercedes' local line-up

 The flagship GT63 S 4-Door is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 (470kW/900Nm) matched to a nine-speed auto driving all four wheels

That stupendous grunt propels the GT63 S 4-Door from rest to 100km/h in 3.2 seconds

 Buyers will have to shell out $349,900 (before on-road costs) to get into the driver's seat

 But if that sounds like a stretch there is a less expensive version, the GT53 4-Door

 The GT53 shaves $100,000 off the price of the GT63 at $249,900 (before on-road costs)

 Power for the GT53 comes from an inline six-cylinder twin-turbo (320kW/520Nm) that benefits from mild hybrid technology — it uses a 48V boost starter to add an extra 16kW

The GT53 hits 100km/h from a standstill in a comparatively pedestrian 4.5 seconds

 AMG boss Tobias Moers believes that the 4-Door brings some practicality the brand's flagship performance range

 "The new AMG GT 4-Door Coupé blends the impressive racetrack dynamism of our two-door sports car with maximum suitability for everyday use

It has a unique way of embodying our brand core, Driving Performance, and . will attract new customers for Mercedes-AMG," says Moers

1L/100km compared to 11.3L in the GT63 S — both respectable claims given the performance on tap

 Standard safety kit includes autonomous emergency braking, blind spot warning, lane change assist and steering assist

 The interior is dominated by a large digital screen that combines the instruments and infotainment screens

Seats and steering wheel wrapped in leather and a 14-speaker audio add to the luxury feel

 The AMG GT 4-Door will land in showrooms mid-year.

First-Gen Mercedes ML 6x6 Pickup Conversion Will Make You Check Your Eyesight - Duration: 2:01.

The trend of modifying old SUVs by fitting them an extra axle for a total of three seems to have really taken off these past few years

Allow us to introduce you another such vehicle we found lurking on a not so dark corner of the web: a right-hand drive 2001 Mercedes-Benz ML

Located in Nottingham, UK, the car is for sale on eBay for £19,995 ($25,733/€22,643)

That's slightly more than a new Volkswagen T-Roc, which starts from £19,270 ($24,800/€21,821)

But hey, the VW will probably fit in the bed of this unofficial Merc pickup.OK, not really, but you get the point

Because of the extra axle at the back, you might be tempted to call it a 6×6.Technically, though, it's a 6×4, because those extra wheels are only there for show purposes and are not driven

Of course, there's an open bed behind the passenger compartment, and an original AMG kit and 18-inch alloy wheels

Powering it is a 3.2-liter petrol engine mated to an automatic gearbox.This first-gen ML has 140,000 miles (225,000 km) on the odo, and for an additional cost the vendor can ship it to your door, as long as you live in the United Kingdom

Despite the conversion, the vehicle is said to have passed the MoT "without problems", so what it needs right now is to be properly introduced to the road again
