- This insane G-Wagen makes the Mercedes-Benz G63 6×6 seem a little boring.
- Plush white leather adorns the glorious cabin of the custom G-Class.
- Carlex Design has yet to disclose how much the insane Mercedes will cost.
Carlex Design first made a name for itself with its eye-catching yet refined interior upgrades for several luxury cars, but in recent years, it’s ventured out and taken on more ambitious projects. Its latest creation is a wild six-wheeled Mercedes-Benz G-Class fit for the Pope, dubbed the Habemus.
The insane Mercedes-based model has so far only been previewed with a series of renderings, and while we’ve seen many interesting takes on the G-Class over the years, we’ve never seen one quite like this. It’s unclear if Carlex plans to base the model on a million-dollar G63 6×6, or instead turn a regular G-Class into a six-wheeler, but we think that’s the most likely option.

The front half of the Habemus is mostly regular G-Class, sans the custom grilles, bumper, and dramatic gold elements. From the B-pillar back is where things get crazy.
Positioned directly behind the cabin is an expansive bed, but it’s not one designed to lug around tools. Instead, it is based around a large swiveling seat right in the center. It’s a similar setup to the new all-electric G-Class Popemobile, but offers way more space thanks to the longer wheelbase and extra rear axle. Positioned on the sides of the bed are four smaller seats.
Given that this is a project from Carlex, it’s only fitting that the cabin appears to be trimmed in all manner of high-end materials. White leather adorns most of it, but there’s also a lush red carpet running through the bed. These custom touches, combined with the golden trimmings throughout, certainly make this G-Wagen stand out from the pack.
We’ve reached out to the Polish company to see what its plans are for the Habemus and if it will become a reality. If it does, it’s unlikely to actually be used by the Pope, as it’s only been a few months since Mercedes delivered a new G 580 EQ to him.
