Fogline Industries is an American company whose work is signed by engineer Allen Bischofberger, more expensive than similar creations from Singer, Theon Design, Paul Stephens or Gunter Werks. It is equipped with a new titanium exhaust system, carbon components thanks to which it weighs only 1,220 kg, Brembo brakes and adjustable suspension, front bumper with openings, oil cooler and six-piston calipers.

Inside, the Recaro seats are trimmed in blue leather by DJ Interiors Custom, which also covers the door panels and dashboard as well as the three-spoke Sparco steering wheel. There are also redesigned analog instruments as well as a small multimedia display compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay applications.

Under the hood is an air-cooled 4.0L six-cylinder boxer with 425 hp (312 kW) at 7,800 rpm, which sounds really powerful. The car is mounted on 18″ ultralight wheels wrapped in 265 mm (front) and 305 mm (rear) tires.

Mercedes-AMG G63 is the best selling AMG model in Europe

According to the Global Automotive Market Research Company that provides analysis on market trends, car pricing and comparisons, JATO Dynamics, the Mercedes-AMG G63 is the best-selling AMG model in Europe, and this is the result of the increase in sales of luxury and sports models in Europe in the first eight months in 2023.

Although inflation and rising prices in Europe prevent most residents from renewing their fleet, it does not prevent those who have extra money to fulfill their dreams and buy new sports cars. In the first half of 2023, BMW sold 19,600 M sports cars in Europe. That’s a 58% increase compared to the same period in 2022. The company delivered 16,400 cars in the US, and the new XM SUV was the most popular with 1,171 units.

Another German brand, Mercedes-AMG sold 13,700 units in Europe, an increase of 57% compared to the first half of 2022. The Mercedes-AMG SL convertible was the most popular, but not enough to overtake the G63 AMG SUV. According to these statistics, one in four AMG buyers opted for the ultra-popular G63 SUV.
