Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6 Near-Series Show Vehicle is an off-roader that delivers 400 kW (544 hp) of power, has inherent 6×6 drive, low-range ratio, five differential locks, portal axles, tyre pressure control system and a special chassis. The Dakar-Rally-style vehicle in addition comes with interior enhancements from the AMG thanks to which the occupants enjoy the highest possible degree of comfort.
G 63 AMG 6×6 combines the best of the latest revised G-Class series-production models which gives the vehicle superiority and refinement. It also includes the source of the up-to-date interior concept with impressive new instruments and a large, central colour display. What is more, the renowned Mercedes-AMG has supplied the model with superior engine technology and interior which is as luxurious as it is comfortable.
First of all, the 6×6 technology – in other words six driven wheels, the off-road low-range ratio in the transfer case, portal axles, five differential locks which can be engaged on the move and a tyre-pressure control system which allows the pressure in the huge 37-inch tyres to be adjusted in record time while the vehicle is running, are those features are ideal for conventional cross-country vehicles.
They all make the driving dynamics perfect for the toughest terrain. The result is that the show vehicle is able to conquer the highest sand dunes and rocky terrains. In addition, it also hides exclusive series-production components under its skin.
In particular, there are the AMG V8 biturbo engine that delivers 400 kW (544 hp) and 760 Nm of torque, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission paired with the front drive system from the G 63 AMG, a rear twin drive train from the 6×6 version and ingenious portal axles.
Furthermore, the chassis is based on the current production configuration, with the exception that the helical springs and dampers have been adjusted to take account of the changed characteristics of the three-axle model. The springs, for instance, have inherent no less than 15 different spring rates.
On the other hand, the front axle is built with the help of armored special-protection variant, the first rear axle has harder spring rate and the second one is softer. All this combined with the rally-proven, adjustable gas-pressure shock absorbers, end up in a perfect symbiosis of sporty dynamism and composed comfort.
In terms of exterior, this special edition of Mercedes-Benz is equipped with large tyres on the three axles, which gives it a height of almost 2.30 metres. In addition its width is some 2.10 metres and its total length of 5.87 metre.
AMG brand face is very well visible thanks to the “twin blade” radiator grille. Moreover, one can be captured immediately by the carbon fibre which is to be found in the integrated LED light strips above the windscreen as well as in the large flared wheel arches. At the same time, the rear load area section has a distinctive stainless-steel roll-over bar.
Luxurious treatment is to be found in the interior, which is defined by AMG. Inside the cabin, the occupants will be pleased to see classic red or light brown designo leather with contrasting topstitching and attractive diamond-pattern quilting.
The four seats are electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated. The rear compartment is equipped with a special centre console while the roof liner and pillars are finished in an Alcantara® covering. The rear panel is trimmed in leather.
Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG and G 65 AMG are vehicles which are delivering outstanding mix of “more power from less fuel”.
The design of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG is reworked, and now features spray-controlled petrol direct injection, ECO start/stop function and generator management.
It is equipped with AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine which effortlessly develops a maximum output of 400 kW (544 hp) and a torque of 760 Nm (561 lb-ft).
Therefore it is no surprise that this exceptional vehicle is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds. Its new top speed is 210 km/h.
Although this vehicle delivers a powerful performance, its fuel consumption is also impressive: just 13.8 litres per 100 kilometres. This is 2.1 litres less than its predecessor model produced. The reduction is a result of the state-of-the-art biturbo eight-cylinder engine, along with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission system, the generator management system and the ECO start/stop function.
First, the seven-speed automatic gearbox features three drive modes and an automatic double-declutching function for downshifting. Whan it is in “Controlled Efficiency” (C) mode, the ECO start/stop function is active, shutting down the eight-cylinder engine when the vehicle is stationary. In addition, the AMG instrument cluster also includes a green “ECO” symbol, indicating when the ECO start/stop function is on.
There are also two other modes: the Sport (S) and Manual (M) modes. Whan they are on, the ECO start/stop function is off, and the engine-transmission combination displays enhanced agility.

The efficiency of the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission system is improved with a new fuel economy converter with centrifugal pendulum, friction-reducing bearing and transmission oil thermal management.
Furthermore, AMG sports exhaust system includes twin tailpipes on both sides at the rear. The suspension/damper settings in the AMG Sports chassis have been modified for the more dynamic handling characteristics.
In addition to these modifications, the wheels and brakes are also completely new. This powerful Mercedes-Benz machine runs on new AMG 5×2 spoke light alloy wheels. They come as standard equipment. The 9.5 x 20 titanium-grey-painted wheels with high-sheen finish are fitted with
275/50 R 20 tyres.

Another new feature is the AMG bumper. In particular it has three generously dimensioned openings as airflow inlets for the cooling module. The vertical high-gloss chrome stainless steel inserts give the G63 AMG powerful stance.
Of course, the interior was also completely transgormed and now includes more innovations in comparison with the predecessor model. There is a new instrument panel and state-of-the-art infotainment and assist systems. In addition to them, G 63 AMG comes with an AMG instrument cluster with colour TFT screen, AMG main menu and separate gear display, plus white-lit AMG sills on all doors.
