"Let's make an outstanding off-road vehicle but let's give it nice rims, expensive white paint and a leather interior. Oh and make the fenders out of carbon fiber so it breaks off when a rock hits it."
The quintessential German car.... A box ! German cars are great. German cars made in Germany , English cars made in England and Italian cars made in Italy !
What's the point of lifting it if you're just going to have a big ass bumper/bullbar in the back in the space the original would be. Basically lowering it's ground clearance defeating the purpose of the lift.
Looks great but it needs to be lowered a bit. Considering the main target market for this car is going to be wealthy people living in cities I don't think there needs to be such a large gap between the wheel and the arch
Mercedes made a mistake by presenting this without the offroad tires and wheels, as well as, with the rear crash bar. I know many people who were interested when they heard about the car prior to the show but lost that interest once they saw it at the show. It looks so much better in the offroad spec, they could of at least shown both set-ups.
I don't see the point of this car yet I totally see it as well. The 6x6 was just insane and sucks to drive on the street so they made a smaller version of it. However they have the smaller version of it being the normal G wagon. This is basically that with a lift kit and large fender flares. My mind is just so confused lol
Portal axles used here are the perfect fit and always been the missing piece of the G-Wagon - they're pretty much straight out of the Unimog which has much better offroad capabilities than the already great G, combining the two for people who need it makes perfect sense but it never made it into series production before. The 6x6 was certainly crazy but this is the natural next step from the G, positioned in between the two. Also, the normal G, the 6x6 and this version all were based off of military vehicles. The more extreme versions only come now to the civilian market because Daimler sees that the G is still popular and those expensive limited variants sell. Just a bit sad that people will buy it and drive it in the city or on a racetrack because they can and to show off, just like the 6x6.
It's a completely different system, you can't just easily add that to a normal car without heavy modifications - yet it still is offered as variant of the G class.
Idk, maybe you haven't understood what I meant with portal axles. The complete drive train should be different from the normal G. And right now this is just a concept, there is no word if it will even be sold.
Mercedes, the kings of making utterly pointless cars for the road. now they've made a 4 wheel version of the 6 wheel version of the 4 wheel version. anyone else confused yet?
I love how everybody is downsizing and Mercedes is just like "fuck that! here is our new Maybach, 6x6, G500, AMG GT" all with V8s hahaha
Lol... They went down to 4l v8, 5,5l v8...
Mercedes is just an awesome automaker, I love everything they are doing right now.
just answering to more and more strict law of environment. bmw is even setting L3 for 5 series, haha
Perfect, need one in gloss black.
***** too many people do matte black. Plus gloss black looks classy.
+UzzyFuzzyy Do they scratch gloss black G wagons too?
Love the way that GL looks next to it :P
love to hear how it sounds.
Shmee150 Hi Tim, is this a step below the normal G class or above, what do you think? and will there be a new G63 this year?
Looks amazing
You choose a good camera Shmee, i can really see the difference, but i have some issue with dark colours such as block, other than that good job.
Ohh yeah! I love it!!
As an offroad enthusiast, i have a tip for you when you're reviewing 4x4's. Please show us whats underneith! With that i mean the axles etc
Now that's a real car! Made for real men!
Looks old for a 2015 car but I still like it a lot.
Would totaly buy it.
Very cool!

looks like it has been modded in GTA V

What's the difference between this squared model and the regular g series?
The normal G63 AMG is a luxury SUV with performance, this is a luxury off road version off that. Same luxury, but more for offroading.

German cars are great. German cars made in Germany , English cars made in England and Italian cars made in Italy !
Aahh, that's where i left my refrigerator :)
how tall is that thing!

This is a nice toy for the desert.

Also my point, maybe airsuspension with some kind of automatic levelling.
I think it would look twice as good if they added the spare wheel on the back like the standard G class
Think it is too big and heavy
I miss the 6 wheels
Deserves a better name imo

I think they should change some off road rims and lower height
Why don't you hop inside it ? They won't let you ? Or ?

as much as i hate this washing machine i think it should have looked and been like this from the start
Why is it squared?
If you get drived over, you'll have a big mercedes logo in your fronthead

J. Martinni Why not just offer the lift kit and extras as add ons for the normal car tho? Idk it is just kind of weird to me, but it does look awesome

I'm not sure I like it. Looks too 'pimp' with those massive wheels.
Dirty lens there man.

Pointless comment.
That would actually be a funny comment if you came up with that yourself.
And how many of my organs would i have to sell to afford this?
to be honest who is really going to go out bush bashing in one of these...
I think some rich arabs will do lots of dunes, befor hitting the cafe.
i thought most amg G Wagons had sidepipes
Too tall for my taste. The body still looks pretty muc the same, but I wouldn't pay so much for it. I'll rather buy an SL-Class or S-Class.
I agree Rico Suave. The lift just doesn't suit this...
4x4x4 = 4x16 = 64
640 bhp?
Carbon fiber wheel arches... Expensive to replace I'm guessing. Not too practical for off-roading. :/
How Germans spend their past time
The new car of the russian mafia :D
Also, the Dubai prince will be pleased.
Looks a lot like a Hot Wheels car.. Lol
Are your eyebrows gone?
and you dont need a truck license.
Hot
A European Jeep Wrangler......
Ok
Looks like a child's toy.
Like a toy of your mom

G-wagons are just hideous, I don't understand why anyone would ever buy one over a range rover
