The AMG 5.5-litre biturbo engine produces 544 hp and 760 newton metres of torque and hauls the 3.85-tonne pickup effortlessly at every obstacle Erwin points it at. The front drive system from the G 63 AMG and a rear twin drive train from the 6×6 version – which has already proven its reliability in service with users such as the Australian army – generate an astonishing amount of traction that easily overcomes any topographical feature that gets in our way.
It is an all too short demonstration of the abilities of this Wonder Wagen but Erwin caps it off by demonstrating its drifting ability on a large open area. Yes, Erwin is a bit crazy. What are the chances that, if we ask Mercedes-Benz very nicely, crankandpiston can get a G 63 AMG 6×6 as a long term management fleet car?
