It's an oversized G63, with 2 extra wheels.

mr747

Yeah but i didnt know weistec had one

VividRacing

That's awesome! Hats off to Weistec

You guys know how much that car is ? 850$k that's toooooo much for a truck. You can get 2 aventadors for that price

Any pictures of that thing?

charliekay

They put this picture on their facebook page a couple of weeks ago.

Here is another pic. That's my CLK BS, C BS and race trailer in the pic

Jim you should get one top pull that trailer with!

jrcart

At a cost of about $750k to have one imported to the states that would be cheap compared to the 2mpg it would get towing my 50ft trailer with two cars, pit bikes and tools inside. Probably not a practical tow vehicle. I am actually getting a quote on a 53 ft featherlite double decker trailer to pull behind one of my semis, I have outgrown the 50ft'er in the photo.

Do you have a commercial license to drive the truck to track days or you just hire someone to drive it?

jrcart

Both. I own a trucking company and I have a CDL, I am licenced to drive just about anything except hazmat. I usuallly have one of my employees drive my rig to track events, but once in a while I grab a buddy and we head cross country and do the driving ourselves.

For some reason I thought you were a Lawyer..

There is a camel/khaki colored one right now that is being tested in the Northeast parts of the USA. I have been following this, not the particular one I just mentioned, vehicle since I saw the first announcement from AMG. They were only supposed to make a handful, but I think that number has climbed to close to 50 units.

I'd be really curious to see what Weistec can do with this. Not sure if it's theirs or if they are even going to touch it, but it would be a wild idea to think of. It's power plant is the 5.5L TT V8.

As an avid off-roader, I cannot even imagine the possibilities!!? It's a really heavy vehicle and has a wide-track, BUT..................

What trucking company do you own buddy?

Do you handle containerized cargo?

PM your company details. I own a logistics company here in Canada and We do regular containerized business over the US East Coast and the Mid West.

Lol, no...but my attorney loves me

They are not u.s. road legal. Im sure some rich dubia prince shipped it over to get stuff installed professionally. It's pretty badass to know one actually got to the u.s. It's a shame the u.s. doesnt get this or the G65. I also dont understand why the 6x6 isnt a 65 either way it's still quite amazing.

ab0bab0i

That is pretty cool.

jordanaf

NOPE!!!! Not true. It was not some rich oil baron just getting some mods. See link below:

Why wouldn't it be road legal in the US?

jrcart

Two of them made it here to the US as well as one in Mexico. They are US owned cars and driven on US roads. The one in the Yahoo Auto link is not a US owned car, that was sent here from AMG in Germany for promotional use at the Superbowl and is being used as vehicle in a movie that is being filmed here. There is a white one at Weistec, a silver one in Scottsdale and a black one in Mexico, all of them were imported here from the UAE.

VividRacing

Wait there's one in Scottsdale!?!? He needs to bring it by Vivid!
