It has to be said that watching the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6 on video is exhilarating. It feels like you’re watching a dying car breed, which in a lot of ways, you are.
Mercedes-Benz TV did a great job with editing this footage, making it easy for us to let our imaginations wander as the AMG V8 biturbo-powered G63 6×6 makes its way through rocky terrain, challenging nature into doing its worst as if nothing could deter this 544 HP beast from going wherever it damn well pleases.
We could probably task it with boldly going where no man has gone before, starship Enterprise style, and still we wouldn’t be surprised if it actually made it to Vulcan, Klingon, Romulus and other awesome summer travel destinations.
OK, maybe a little surprised. A little.
What makes the G 63 6×6 such a formidable machine, is more than just its all-wheel drive system, its power or its ground clearance. It also possesses five differential locks that make sure that you get perfect traction no matter what type of terrain lies again. Something else it gives its occupants is maximum levels of comfort.
Basically, you can call it as many bad words as you’d like, including pointless. But you can never question its offroading ability or question its price tag considering the fact that you get all the performance you need plus a very luxurious interior.
As for day to day use, if you live in a place where traffic isn’t all that bad or at least there’s room to maneuver, you can definitely get used to driving pretty much anything. Plus, the G63 6×6 can get you from 0 to 62 mph (100km/h) in less than 6 seconds, so it’s not like you’re ever going to be holding up traffic.
