Mercedes has staged the North American debut of the GL63 AMG at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Designed to be one of the fastest seven-seat crossovers on the planet, the GL63 AMG is distinguished by an aggressive front fascia, LED daytime running lights and 21-inch alloy wheels. There's also a unique rear bumper and a four-tailpipe exhaust system.
