This G 63 AMG is Surfing in The Desert

There are certain markets out there where the 63 AMG version of the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen is outselling its “lesser” brethren by quite a large margin, despite not exactly being the most affordable SUV in the three-pointed star lineup.
Such markets are the US, Russia and of course the Middle East, where the G 63 AMG has become somewhat of a cult.

In fact, owning a Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG in cities like Dubai might actually be recommended, as most rich sheiks love driving in the nearby desert. What more appropriate vehicle to surf the sand waves than a V8-engined off-roader with three locking differentials is there?

As the epic photo above is depicting, there's no better way to put those 544 hp and 760 Nm (561 lb ft) of torque to work than dashing through the sand like nobody's business.

The image was taken by Deniz Saylan for Mercedes-Benz and was awarded “Best Image” in Automotive and Transportation by the BFF (the German Association of Freelance Photographers).
