Re: G63 AMG 6x6 now at MB World

On one of the Land Rover forums that I loiter on, one of the chaps went up to MB world at Brooklands, and took some pics of the chassis/running gear of the 6x6 beast.

Pics here: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=88884

Yep. Snipped off, or is it a sensor hanging down?

Can't imagine the inter-axle prop shaft U/Js at the rear are going to last long either, judging by the nose-up angle of the third axle's diff.

Desirable though that truck may be, it seems to me there is rather a lot to go wrong, specially when it is put to work with a load on the back, rather than just being "played" with in the sand by journalists. Good fun though.

The Pinzgauer's 6x6 solution is definitely more practical, even if now obsolete and out of production.

it is a breather tube , the banjo fitting should of been orientated to point upwards to be less vulnerable /this picture has been about for ages i saw it some time ago on clubgwagen i am not going to call mercedes pr dept about it though.

  poor vetting of press release images .

I swear there is a sort of madness gripping the motor industry...... All I need now is a lottery win... or two.

Well if that's the case - I am cancelling my order. If they can not get the banjo fittings for the breather tube right - then they can forget my deposit! Though I do like the exterior colours used in the above pics - interior, a wee bit NOCD.

Quite like the look of the outside of the Carlex one but the inside is simply HIDEOUS!!!!

Travel-sickness all round
