Mercedes have unveiled a monstrous
new rugged off-roader with six wheels - their first since a similar
model was produced for the Nazis in 1930s Germany.
The outrageous Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6 is a limited edition model based on the iconic G-Wagon.
It
has been designed to have the off-road capabilities of a tank,
accelerate like a hot hatch and provide the luxury feel of a limousine.
To
give it brutal acceleration, Mercedes has replaced the standard G
Wagon's 3-litre diesel engine with a twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V8.
The
result is a 536bhp behemoth which is capable of 0-62mph in less than
six seconds - despite measuring 19ft in length, weighing 3.85 tons.
Mercedes
claims the 6x6 - which has 37 inch wheels - can negotiate rocky terrain
with 'all the agility of a mountain goat', while fording a river is
'almost child's play'.
