Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6

above8k · Mar 1, 2013

The four-seater model adopts a pickup-truck body that measures 231.3 inches (5,867mm) long, 83.1 inches (2,111mm) wide and 87.0 inches (2,209mm) tall, or 43.5 inches (1,105mm) longer, 8.9 inches (226mm) wider and 10.7 inches (272mm) taller than the regular G63 AMG 4x4.

Other interesting facts include a huge ground clearance of 18.1 inches (460mm), approach and departure angles of 52 degrees (+16 over the regular G63 AMG) and 54 degrees (+27) respectively, while the 6x6 truck tips the scales at 8,322-pound or 3,775 kilos. The truck runs on 37-inch wheels with a bead-plate design all around.

Performance and fuel economy numbers are not available yet, but Mercedes head of G-class development, Axel Harries, told Autoweek magazine that the G63 AMG 6x6 will complete the 0-62 mph (100km/h) sprint in less than six seconds, have an electronically governed top speed of 100mph (160km/h) and return a fuel economy of around 13mpg (18lt/100km or 15.6mpg UK).

He added that Mercedes plans to build 20 to 30 trucks per year, with the G63 AMG 6x6 to be the brand's second most expensive car in the range behind the $457,000 (€350,000) SLS Electric Drive.

Awesome!!!!!

I think this is the first MB I actually want.

I don't really think it needs to be a 6x6 though. Crazy it can go 160k with 37's and portals and not have any issues..

That's ****ing badass. Now imagine a G65 version........ *drools*

Initially thought it was a one-off some ridiculously rich oil sheik had built. Then I saw AMG will actually put it in production. Holy **** that is awesome.

normal G wagons are pretty decent off road too but too expensive for most. also I believe it is limited to 100 because of the portals since the heat in the hubs would get to high.

edit also the stock g63's tt v8 in the us spec gets 536 hp and 560 lb-ft while the g65's tt v12 gets 604 hp and 738 lb·ft so why not have the v12 in it

In the video it looks so BIG! Guess this vehicle will be for baller's only?

I'm sure most of them are sold to the UAE.

What do you call these, stepped axles?

For the on-board tire inflation system?

I think tire size would be the limit. The rear tires on the two rear axles seem to be separated by, what, 6-7 inches, probably a good thing since that clearance can change a bit over terrain right? They are already fairly close together, how much bigger with tire size can you go before the rear tires start to rub against each other?
