Mercedes G63 AMG 6×6 to Soon Enter Production

Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6

Regulars here would remember that we posted about a 6-wheeled Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG some two weeks back. The car was spotted on its way to the Middle East. Now, the official word is out that the 6 wheeled G Class AMG is going into production and will be sold to the civilians.

The confirmation comes straight from Mercedes’ head of G Class development, Alex Harries, who told media that the famous German automaker intends to produce 20 to 30 6×6 G63 AMG vehicles per year.

The G63 AMG 6×6 has been built on a special 6-wheeled military spec G320 CDI that the Stuttgart based car maker has been producing for the Australian army since 2011. The G63 AMG 6×6, which is the civilian version, gets the all wheel drive system and the five differential locks from the donor vehicle along with getting a more powerful 5.5-liter V8 motor that has a max power output of 536 HP and peak torque figure of 560 lb-ft.

The car is almost 6 meters long and Mercedes-Benz claims that the G63 AMG 6×6 can dismiss 100kmph from standstill in less than six seconds! The monster also has a top speed of 160 kmph!

The G63 AMG 6×6 will have a fuel economy figure of 13 mpg (18 liters /100 km) but will the owner ever care?

The new G63 AMG 6-wheeler is expected to become the second most expensive Mercedes-Benz car after the SLS AMG. This simply means that the new variant will cost three times more than the standard G63 AMG.
