2017 Mercedes-AMG G65 6x6 Bring a Trailer AuctionBring a Trailer (Bring a Trailer)Here's the only G-wagen to combine a twin-turbocharged V-12 and 6x6-wheel drive.It's a custom build from Ukraine-based Jeep Monsters, which specializes in these wild creations.The build was interrupted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but it's now complete, and this G is safely stateside.If you're thinking, "Hang on. I didn't even know Mercedes ever made a G65 6x6," you're correct. This outrageous monster is a custom build, and its just turned up on Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos). It's claimed to be the only one of its kind in the world, and it was only partially completed when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.Bring a Trailer (Bring a Trailer)Somehow, this massive truck was hidden from marauding Russian troops as they pushed into Zhytomyr Oblast, where the builder, Jeep Monsters, is headquartered. Stuffed into a container, it was tucked away, wrecking a trailer in the process. Eventually, Ukrainian forces liberated the area, and the build was completed.Bring a Trailer (Bring a Trailer)Originally a U.S.-market G65, this Geländewagen was already fairly showy when it left the factory in Graz, Austria. There's no sensible reason to stuff a hand-built 6.0-liter V-12 in a G-class, and when Mercedes-AMG built its ultra-exclusive G63 6x6, it didn't bother doing so. You can just hear the discussions in the planning department. No, that's too much. Too far.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe thing about the G-class is, while it can be an entirely functional vehicle with impressive off-road performance, its main function for most buyers is as bling on wheels. A flashy G is not about going anywhere you want; it's about showing you've already arrived at the top. That's particularly true of the original 6x6, which had expensively silly features like teak boards in the pickup bed.Bring a Trailer (Bring a Trailer)So, while this one-off V-12 6x6 might have portal axles and underbody plating and locking differentials, it's more about the statement it makes. That statement is: Sweet mother of pearl, is this thing huge. And yellow. And chrome. Pull up to the curb, and you'll impress everyone in the vicinity, up to and including the astronauts on the ISS, who can probably see the Solarbeam Yellow G65 from space.Bring a Trailer (Bring a Trailer)This truck is festooned with Brabus parts, including a carbon-fiber widebody kit, for an even more over-the-top effect. It even has a snorkel, which gives it a bit of a Yellow Submarine vibe.Inside, you've again got carbon fiber accents shotgunned throughout the cabin, acres of leather, and luxury options like Harman Kardon premium audio and a rear-seat entertainment package. It also has a central tire inflation system, although this is currently just for show.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe V-12 made 621 horsepower when new, and an even more impressive 738 pound-feet of torque. The transmission is a seven-speed automatic with a dual-range transfer case.Ostentatious? You bet. A great back story? That, too. If you're in the market for one of the biggest show-off vehicles on the planet, this G65 6x6 is a billboard yelling, "Look at me!" Yet somehow, its creators managed to keep it hidden. Well, it's not hiding anymore.The auction ends on June 12.You Might Also LikeGift Guide: Best Ride-On Electric Cars for KidsFuture Cars Worth Waiting For: 2025–2029
