Mercedes unveils crazy six-wheeled vehicle

This is the Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6, the worlds first MUV (Monster Utility Vehicle). It could be mistaken for a bit of Photoshop tomfoolery but in fact, it is to be put into limited run production of around 30 examples a year.

Based on the diesel powered G-Wagen 6x6 supplied to the Austrian army since 2011, this civilian version is fitted with AMG's latest V8 petrol motor - a colossal 5.5-litre twin-turbocharged unit, which develops 537bhp and 758nm of torque.
