Off Roaders' Empire: The High Performance Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6 by Brabus

It’s hard not to give the Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6 the applause it deserves because not doing so would probably result in the vehicle jumping off our page and slapping us silly with those two extra tires.

All joking aside, this vehicle really is one for the ages. Adding German tuner extraordinaire Brabus into the equation, makes this one monster ride that will no doubt leave every other vehicle scampering away and cowering in fear by the vehicle’s mere presence.

With all of Brabus’ aftermarket projects, the unquestioned highlight are always the performance modifications. it’s no different with the G63 AMG 6x6 because the German tuner really went all out in giving it the kind of upgrade it can be proud of.

In this instance, Brabus used its B63S - 700 performance kit, which, incidentally, is also available for all other current Mercedes-Benz 63 AMG SUVs. But this is the G63 AMG 6x6 we’re talking about here, and with the addition of pair of special BRABUS turbochargers with a larger compressor unit, and a Gold Heat Reflection sheathing for the intake and charge-air pipes that further lowers the air temperature.

With all of those upgrades, Brabus increased the output of this mastodon of a vehicle to 700 horsepower and 708 pound-feet of torque — a staggering increase of 156 horsepower and 147 pound-feet from its standard numbers. With the modifications, the G63 AMG 6x6 is now capable of sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in just 7.4 seconds (remarkable for an SUV this big) with an electronically-limited top speed of 100 mph.

Last we checked, the Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6 isn’t available to the public and is limited mostly for military use. So unless you’re signing off on purchasing one for your next military excursion, then you’re not going to worry about forking over what we assume to be close to $500,000 for the ride with its full Brabus upgrade included.
