THE POWER OF SIX… THE MERCEDES G63 6X6 AMG

Published On March 13, 2013 | By David | i-BLOGVideos

I have a dream and that dream involves rocking up in Chelsea in a Mercedes G63 6X6 AMG. Range What!?

The ‘normal’ Mercedes G63 AMG is hardly a subtle vehicle. It’s a boxy four wheel drive with a twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 under the bonnet which produces 544hp. Thankfully in some parts of the world more is most certainly more. Mercedes have recognised this and revealed the new G63 6X6 AMG. Yes that means three axles, six wheels, six wheel drive and hits sixty in under six seconds. This car could make Gok Wan seem manly and make a Range Rover look small.

Clearly this isn’t for our market, that is why Mercedes show it in the video below ploughing across deserts with no trouble at all. But what if someone did ask AMG to build them one in right hand drive. What would that look like on the streets of London? Would all of the Mums in their Chelsea tractors feel as safe if they knew this thing was prowling the streets?
