SUPERIOR 6x6 all-wheel-drive technology, AMG V8 biturbo power and looks that leave no room for any doubt: the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 near-series vehicle is an off-roader which represents the last word in forward-thrusting power far from the beaten track. 544 hp, a 6x6 drive, low-range ratio, five differential locks, portal axles, tire pressure control system and a special chassis allow this pickup to make good progress in environments where the concept of individual mobility normally bites the dust as soon as the road ends. Six driven wheels, an off-road low-range ratio in the transfer case, portal axles, five differential locks which can be engaged on the move and a tire-pressure control system which allows the pressure in the huge 37-inch tires to be adjusted in record time while the vehicle is running – all these are features which one seeks in vain in conventional cross-country vehicles. Together, they ensure that the G 63 AMG 6x6 has driving dynamics which are more than a match for the toughest terrain. As a result, the show vehicle is able to storm up the highest sand dunes with ease while sand tracks hold no fears thanks to its unshakable directional stability. Rocky terrain is negotiated with all the agility of a mountain goat; fording a river becomes almost child's play thanks to the impressive fording capability of one meter. And anyone exploring the on-road performance is certain to be impressed by the catapult-like acceleration of this 3.85-tonne pickup. Despite its unique drive technology, the vehicle does not actually represent a new development in terms of technology. After 34 years of G-Class production, there is such a large array of “G” parts to draw on that the G 63 AMG 6x6 uses almost exclusively series-production components under the skin. The AMG V8 biturbo engine with 544 hp and 760 newton meters of torque, the AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-tronic automatic transmission paired with the front drive system from the G 63 AMG and a rear twin drive train from the 6x6 version which has already proven its reliability in service with users such as the Australian army, plus the ingenious portal axles, which also have military origins, make their debut in a civilian vehicle G 63 AMG 6x6. The Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 near-series vehicle brings together the best of three worlds. The latest, revised G-Class series-production models lend the superior off-roader the effortless superiority and refinement of a vehicle which has dominated the off-road scene for 34 years. With superior 6x6 all-wheel-drive technology, AMG V8 biturbo power and looks that leave no room for any doubt, the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 near-series vehicle is really an off-roader. Sporty luxury, the hallmark of AMG, is the defining characteristic of the interior. The G 63 AMG 6x6 welcomes its occupants aboard with an exclusive ambience of classic red or light brown designo leather with contrasting topstitching and attractive diamond-pattern quilting. The four electrically adjustable individual seats are heated and ventilated. The rear compartment is equipped with a special center console while the roof liner and pillars are finished in an Alcantara covering. The rear panel is trimmed in leather. — SG
