Mercedes-Benz reveals the G63 AMG 6×6, a six-wheel-drive luxo SUV
By Justin Hyde, Mar 1, 2013
"There are only so many possible permutations of a metal box on four wheels designed to go fast over any terrain, and from the Jeep Wrangler to the
Range Rover, all of them have been explored in some degree with varying levels of ability and luxury. It was only a matter of time before a group of
mad engineers gathered together and said 'Screw it, let's go six-wheel-drive.'"
"According to Autoweek, Mercedes plans to build about 20 to 30 of these behemoths starting in October for a price just below the $457,000 AMG will
charge for an all-electric SLS, and if you have to ask about miles per gallon, then clearly you don't own enough oil wells to afford one."
Ok, not being able to shell out half a mil, I'm now looking for an M135 6x6 deuce (the 6-whheled version) chassis and put modern drivetrain in it, and
then put the body of the 2nd Xplorer motorhome that I've just acquired. Could be done for less than $15k.
