Six-Wheeled G-Wagen Heads to Middle East
This 6x6 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG is quite possibly the coolest thing to be added to some rich guy's car collection.

Without question, the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen is one of the most awesome SUVs ever to grace the earth’s roads, forests and any other terrain the tough-as-nails German-built machine can go.

But if think the so-called "base" G63AMG version that’s currently on sale is the most badass G Wagon to date, then you may want to reconsider after seeing this. It was spotted at an airport in Germany on its way to an unknown owner in the Middle East (of course).

This custom-built six-wheeled G Wagon also comes equipped with a bespoke truck bed that’s lined with fine timber. Clearly this ain’t your typical pickup truck. It’s a street-legal 6x6 monster. The interior is covered in black and white leather upholstery with diamond stitching and carbon fiber trim throughout. Also featuring Hutchinson wheels with off-road tires, the custom truck is powered by the G63’s 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces 544 horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque that’s likely mated to a seven-speed automatic. After all, a vehicle should always have more gears than wheels, but this one's a close call.
