Gelandewagen gets an additional row of wheels

Featuring superior 6x6 all-wheel drive technology, AMG tuned engine and looks that could only be matched by an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) - the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 is truly a vehicle that provides a new twist to the legendary Gelandewagen tale. 

While this G 63 AMG 6x6 looks all set to take part in the Dakar Rally, Mercedes claims the interior enhancements allow the occupants to enjoy the highest possible degree of comfort, even when negotiating the worst terrains and climate Gaia has to offer. 

While the load area might be finished in solid bamboo, Mercedes claims the G 63 AMG 6x6 can pose a challenge to anything less than a vehicle with caterpillar tracks.

The G 63 AMG 6x6 possesses the ability to storm up the highest sand dunes with ease while sand tracks hold no fears thanks to its unshakable directional stability. 

And anyone exploring the on-road performance is certain to be impressed by the catapult-like acceleration of this 3.85 tonne pick-up.

The chassis is largely based on the current production models with the only difference being the helical springs and dampers that have been adjusted to take account of the changed characteristics of the three-axle model.

The G 63 AMG 6x6 welcomes its occupants 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 centre console while the roof liner and pillars are finished in an Alcantara covering. The rear panel is trimmed in leather.
