Mercedes have announced that they will (and this is not just to get us excited and let us down later) be adding in to their G-Class range, a 6×6 all-wheel drive behemoth of a machine. The massive AMG G63 SUV will also be getting the full AMG treatment, and will slot in (pricewise) just below the epic SLS electric supercar as the second most expensive car they make.
The AMG styling means driver and passenger will be comfortably hosted within in full leather interiors and contoured sports seats and a spacious rear cabin.
And what do you commission to haul the world’s most lavish and capable off-roader? Their twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 of course. What else?
That means an enormous 397kw (540 brake horse power) of power blurring the 6×6 to 100km/h in just over 6 seconds.
The G63 AMG also has 5 locking diffs and a compressor tank for re-inflation of tyres, just in case.
Rumour is there’ll only be about 20 of them ever made, and they’ll cost more than 5 million rand. Ridiculous, maybe, but also flippin’ cool.
