Mercedes-Benz's name has long been associated with tasks such as snow removal and it's all thanks to the Unimog truck, which makes "multipurpose" sound like a major understatement. Nevertheless, it seems like the G500 4x4² can handle cold season tasks just as well, as the piece of footage at the bottom of the page proves.
The video shows the little brother of the Mercedes-AMG G63 6x6 using its monstrous wheel and tire setup to clear a track. Of course, some of you might simply see a jacked-up Gelandewagen drifting its monstrous wheels off, but we're not here for such debates.
We can enjoy the winter sports action thanks to Kenan Sofuoğlu - we'll remind those of you who aren't following the two-wheel realm that the Turkish motorcycle racer holds the record for the highest number of Supersport World Championship titles, with five trophies in his cabinet.
Under the G550 4x4² banner, Mercedes should kick off the US sales of the model any day now (the announcement talked about an early 2017 debut).
Be prepared to pay north of $200,000 for the thing. And yes, you will get a lot of tech delights for the money. It all starts with the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 under the hood, which allows you to throw 422 at the terrain underneath the vehicle.
Thanks to its portal axles, a trick learned from the Unimog, the 4x4² can do so much more than clear the snow, so all you need to do now is to come with a list of chores for it.

Let's return to the rugged terrain tamer, shall we?
If you're watching this from the US and would like to give your driveway a similar treatment, we're glad to bring back a topic we discussed last summer, when the German automaker spilled the beans on offering the extreme offroader in America.Under the G550 4x4² banner, Mercedes should kick off the US sales of the model any day now (the announcement talked about an early 2017 debut).
