Why it matters
The G 63 AMG 6x6 was a six-wheel-drive, double-cab pickup derivative of the Type 463 G-Class, introduced for civilian buyers in 2013 and sold in a small run. It combines three portal axles with the AMG 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8, and auction catalogues rank it among the rarest and most extreme G-Wagen variants.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionLower bound: 'well over 100 examples have been built' (Mercedes never published an exact total; run sold out in 2015) | 1001 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Bonhams traces the 6x6 to an off-road military G 320 CDI six-wheeler developed for the Australian army and in service from 2011; the civilian version followed in 2013 at a quoted price of about GBP 370,000. According to the same catalogue, Mercedes-Benz stopped production in 2015 after selling more than 100 units, reportedly to preserve its exclusivity. Like the rest of the G-Class, it was built in Graz.
RM Sotheby's describes the factory run as approximately 100 cars and gives a May 2015 completion date for one of them. Some cars were later modified: one RM lot is a factory 6x6 upgraded by Brabus to G700 specification with a PowerXtra B40-700 kit, which RM states raises output to 700 horsepower.
