Looks pretty sweet to me!

While the civilian model keeps the military G's all-wheel drive system with five (!) differential locks offering 100 percent lockup of all six wheels and which are controlled via buttons on the dash, Mercedes replaced the 3.0-liter diesel engine and 5sp automatic with a twin-turbo'd 5.5-liter V8 pushing out 536-horses and 560 lb-ft of torque connected to a 7G-tronic seven-speed auto.

The four-seater model adopts a pickup-truck body that measures 231.3 inches (5,867mm) long, 83.1 inches (2,111mm) wide and 87.0 inches (2,209mm) tall, or 43.5 inches (1,105mm) longer, 8.9 inches (226mm) wider and 10.7 inches (272mm) taller than the regular G63 AMG 4x4.

Other interesting facts include a huge ground clearance of 18.1 inches (460mm), approach and departure angles of 52 degrees (+16 over the regular G63 AMG) and 54 degrees (+27) respectively, while the 6x6 truck tips the scales at 8,322-pound or 3,775 kilos. The truck runs on 37-inch wheels with a bead-plate design all around.

Amazing. Figured it would be expensive, but $457k, why would anyone take that off road? Seems crazy.

Tapa' what?
