The AMG 6x6 combines the engine from the G63, a twin-turbo V8, with 6x6 portal axles, off-road vehicle suspension that has the axle tube off-set from the center of the wheel hub. Furthermore, this model features a pick-up version of the G-Class body and a luxury interior.

Produced only from 2013-2015, only around 100 vehicles were ever made.

The G63 AMG 6x6 features six-wheel drive, an all-wheel drivetrain configuration of three axles that is mainly found in heavy-duty off-road and military vehicles. Running on 5.5-liter, 536 horsepower, and 561 get per pound of torque, this AMG 6x6 is a powerful vehicle.

Using a DOHC 32-valve V-8 AMG engine, this model is also complete with a 7G-tronic seven-speed automatic transmission that can enable it to excel on both on-road driving and off-road conditions.

The vehicle has five electronic differential locks, making it possible to deliver 100% lockup on all six wheels. These locks are controlled by three switches on the dashboard.

The G63 AMG can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 7.8 seconds, with a top speed of 100 miles per hour.

The unique performance is attributable to various elements from the modular system for G-Class models and its AMG luxury and performance division. Elements include a new portal axle drive, allowing the wheels to be positioned lower than their customary position in the center of the axle. This allows the increase in ground clearance. Further, the independent axle suspension ensures the best adhesion and grip to the road surface underneath of the vehicle.

The G63 AMG 6x6 is demonstrated by an innovative tire pressure control system that lets the driver adjust the tire pressure in the front axle and the rear axle separately. Rather than a period of about 10 minutes to adjust the tires, the system takes less than 20 seconds to raise the tire pressure.

Overall Take

The G63 AMG 6x6 is expected to go into production at the end of the year, and combines Mercedes-Benz's off-road experience with the G-Class poise and balance. The vehicle's durability, sturdiness, functionality, and off-road capabilities all derive from G-Class models. Lastly, the Mercedes-AMG provides renowned luxury and high-performance capabilities. If you are looking for a combination of an off-road tank with the luxury of a on-road vehicle, then look no further.
