Six wheels? Yeah, buddy. The Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6 has been unleashed, packing a military-approved (this thing was originally designed for the Austrian Army) to those with a few dollars in their pockets. 

Originally conceived in 2011, interested buyers will soon have the chance to fork over an approximated $457,000 for the 5.5-liter V-8 charged off-road monster with 544 horsepower.

Rugged potential matches the luxury here. No basic bed, instead Mercedes has fitted the G63 AMG 6x6 with polished bamboo. 20 to 30 units are expected to shift annually after the official launch in October.
