Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6: history and price

G 63 AMG 6x6 history

In its G-Class history, Mercedes-Benz describes the G 63 AMG 6x6 as a three-axle off-road vehicle that combined "the best of three worlds": the developments of the then-new G-Class generation, the robustness of heavy off-highway vehicles and Mercedes-AMG engine technology.

German pricing started at 451,010 euros including VAT. Later G-Class extremes — the G 550 4x4² with 45 cm of ground clearance and the 99-unit Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet — followed the same small-series path.[1],[2]

What to check before you buy one

• Confirm road-registration and import eligibility for your country before bidding; this was a European-market small-series vehicle.
• Ask a specialist to review the maintenance history of the three-axle drivetrain, axles and tires.
• Verify the VIN and documentation directly — conversions of standard G-Classes to six wheels exist.

How to verify the factory options of any G 63 AMG 6x6

A factory build record by VIN is one way to separate a factory 6x6 from an aftermarket conversion.

The 6x6 is a 17-character-VIN car, but it was a European small-series model, so detailed build data may not exist for every VIN.[3]
