"Produced on a limited basis – and at a price of £370,000 – the colossal double-cab pickup started life as an even more rugged military version of the G 320 CDI conceived and engineered for the Australian army and in operation since 2011. This plush, leather-lined civilian version of the off-road vehicle has been conceived to appeal to some of Mercedes-Benz's most affluent clientele, and promises a vehicle without compromise..." – Autocar.

Introduced as long ago as 1979, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class 'Geländewagen' (cross-country vehicle) was the result of a joint venture with Steyr-Daimler-Puch of Austria, a firm with considerable experience in developing four-wheel-drive systems for off-road vehicles. Its purposeful appearance – fundamentally unchanged throughout its life – and engineering excellence has secured the G-Wagen cult status and earned it a reputation as one of the most coveted of classic 4x4s.

For 1991 a revised (Type 463) chassis was introduced, incorporating the very latest in off-road traction technology in the form of three electronically engaged differentials in addition to anti-lock brakes. There have been countless updates to the Type 463 since then and a host of special variants. One of the final models released before production of the Type 463 ceased in 2018, the G-63 was powered by AMG's 5.5-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine developing 537bhp, which was delivered to the ground via AMG's Speedshift Plus 7G‑tronic automatic transmission. Boasting high ground clearance and long-travel suspension, the AMG G-63 offered greater off-road capability than most customers would ever need in an immensely stylish conveyance with not inconsiderable on-the-road presence. Like the entire model series, the G-63 AMG was produced in Graz, primarily in the factory's hand-finishing section.

Hailed by Autocar as "the ultimate in go-anywhere civilian vehicles", offered here is one of the rarest G-Wagen derivatives, the Mercedes-Benz AMG G-63 6x6, which, as its name suggests, features drive to all of its six wheels. According to Mercedes, it represents "he last word in forward-thrusting power for the beaten track". The concept was initially developed for the Australian Army before emerging as a production model for the civilian market in 2013. The 6x6 features the G-63 AMG's 5.5-litre twin-turbo V-8 engine, portal axles, a pickup version of the G-Class body, and a luxurious interior. In 2015, having sold more than 100 units, Mercedes-Benz stopped production of the G-63 6x6, supposedly to maintain its exclusivity.

Autocar's tester Greg Kable concluded his review thus: "The only thing I've driven that comes remotely close to the feeling I got while at the wheel of the G 63 AMG 6x6 is the Hummer H1. But while the former is incredibly nimble for something so vast and hugely powerful, the latter was stodgy and rather lethargic. You could argue long and hard about the merits or otherwise of the G 63 AMG 6x6 – surely the world's first road legal MUV (monster utility vehicle). However, one thing holds true: it is a fun thing to drive in the right conditions. But with a price tag more than three times that of the G 63 AMG, it is going to be a super-exclusive proposition for all but the mega-rich."

The Mercedes-Benz AMG G-63 6x6 we offer was sold new to the current vendor and has been kept in storage since acquisition. Factory options include (although are not limited to):

Electric tilting/sliding sunroof
Rear passenger compartment entertainment
Surround sound system (Harman/Kardon Logic 7)
Auxiliary heater
160 km/h speed limit
Seat comfort package


The car will require its first service before it should return to the road. Possibly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of these rare and super-exclusive luxury off-roaders.
