The Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 6×6 is one of the most unique creations to ever come from the automaker. As such, it’s still in high demand despite being out of production. One such example on Bring A Trailer might set a new record for the model there but to do it, it’ll have to crest $901,000.
According to the listing, this 2014 example is one of approximately 100 such vehicles built between 2013 and 2015. Unlike many of the conversions that we’ve reported on in the past, this one was a direct product of Mercedes itself. One of the things that separates it from many conversions is that it sends power to all six wheels.
When tooling around normally, the 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 under the hood sends 30 percent of its 536 hp (399 kW) to the front wheels, 40 percent to the middle wheels, and the rest to the rear wheels. It does so through a seven-speed automatic transmission and a pair of driveshafts. Five different electronically locking differentials allow the driver to lock all six wheels.

As much as that sounds like and is actually overkill for most situations, the cabin and bed are somewhat less practical. This gigantic SUV truck thing is a four-seater only. On top of that, the bed is polished wood with metal trim. Good luck using that without scratching it.
A buyer in Dubai initially bought the 6×6 during that first year of production and it ended up in the USA later the same year. G&K Automotive Conversion federalized it and it’s here under the “Show and Display” exemption offered by the NHTSA. Becoming the new buyer is going to require a pretty penny though.
As of this writing, this Benz is sitting at a bid of $675,000 with five days worth of bidding to go. The highest price ever paid for a non-Brabus genuine Mercedes G-Wagon 6×6 like this was $901,337 back in late 2020. That example had 49k miles on the odometer. This one has just 7,029.
If you’re part of the one-percenters eager to put this massive vehicle in your garage keep in mind that you’ll need to keep the miles low. As a Show and Display vehicle, it’s only allowed to drive 2,500 miles on public roads each year. In fact, the NHTSA actually has to sign off on whoever ends up winning the bid before they can acquire the title.
