Off-roaders don’t get more special or hardcore, than a Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4².
It’s derived from the G63 AMG 6×6, bar one axle, and uses the same body as the
regular previous-gen G-Wagen, to which it adds a wider track, adjustable
suspension and a 450 mm ground clearance.
This, combined with the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8
petrol unit that produces 422 PS and 610 Nm of torque, pushed
to all four wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission, is enough to
help it tackle some steep slopes.
If you want a Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4² of your
own, you should get ready to spend in excess of US$ 200,000 for a properly
maintained one with low mileage.
The example listed by RMSothebys for their Paris,
France, auction that takes place on February 7, is definitely worth looking
into, as it has only 5,574 km on the clock. It’s said to be coming
from the personal collection of a Mercedes-Benz enthusiast, which means that it
has been taken good care of since 2016, when it was shipped new to Italy.
The auction house estimates that it should sell for
€ 180,000-€ 200,000 (US$ 223,752-US$ 248,614), which is a bit more than the entry-level
2019 G-Class that has a € 107,040 (US$ 133,058) starting price. But, like we said,
it doesn’t get much more hardcore than this.
