Watch the Mercedes G63 6x6 prove four wheels are inferior

If it can take on whatever the Australian military throws at it, the G63 AMG 6x6 can surely cure the winter blues


This weekend, many provinces across the Great White North faced their first blasts of winter. It’s only November, and if salt-coloured cars and chilly winds are already getting you down, maybe something with six wheels could cheer you up. Because clearly, four wheels are inferior.

In the latest episode of Head 2 Head, our buddies at Motor Trend shows us exactly why four wheels are overrated by doing what any other automotive publication would logically do: Take a standard Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG and pit it against the positively ludicrous G63 AMG 6x6.

The comparison might not make a whole lot of sense. The standard Geländewagen is far from a slouch on and off road, but if four wheels, three locking differentials, two solid axles and V8 engine under the hood aren’t enough, Mercedes offers the G63 AMG 6×6 to fill your needs. You get two extra wheels, six-wheel-drive and something that was originally developed for the Austrian military for just $536,000.

Don’t forget to watch Motor Trend‘s 10-minute comparo below; it might not be set in the dead of winter, but if the G63 6×6 can take whatever the Austrian military throws at it, we’re pretty sure it will a smile on your face in a snowstorm.
