Considered to be the largest, heaviest, most expensive and definitely the most “in your face” passenger car that wears the three-pointed star in recent years, the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 is a six-wheeled exaggeration.
In case you haven't noticed already, a fact which is arguably impossible, every single detail concerning the six-wheeler is exaggerated.
The G 63 AMG6x6 is currently the only production passenger car in the world with an on-board tire inflation and deflation system, six driven wheels and five electronically-locking differentials.
If that is not enough to color you impressed, keep in mind that it also has portal axles, a total weight of 3850 kilograms (8487 pounds) and an interior that keeps all its four occupants engulfed in comfort via four designo leather and Alcantara-strapped seats which are both heated and ventilated.
Not only that, but the G 63 AMG 6x6 is also the most powerful and probably fastest six-wheeled vehicle on the planet right now, as that completely non-aerodynamic hunk of Austrian metal is powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 that develops 544 hp and 760 Nm (560 lb ft) of torque.
It can house a Volkswagen Golf inside its wheelbase and it can tackle any pothole, sand dune, narrow river bed and maybe even small hills with its six-wheel drive and one meter forging depth.
The 230 cm (90.5 inches) total height of the car is enough to tower over any passenger car out there, a fact which is made extremely evident by the following video, where a G 63 AMG 6x6 was caught parked near a Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670 Super Veloce.
The low height, overall shape and orange color of the Lambo almost makes it look like an oversized “sleeping policeman” - also known as a speed bump – near the mighty six-wheeler.
Alex handled his first real steering wheel at the age of five (on a field) and started practicing "Scandinavian Flicks" at 14 (on non-public gravel roads). Following his time at the University of Journalism, he landed his first real job at the local franchise of Top Gear magazine a few years before Mircea (Panait). Not long after, Alex entered the New Media realm with the autoevolution.com project. Full profile
