Someone's Built A Mad Six-Wheeled Mercedes ML-Class

Want a six-wheeled Mercedes you can actually afford? This ML is the G63 6x6 alternative you've been waiting for. Maybe...
Someone's Built A Mad Six-Wheeled Mercedes ML-Class

For the brief period it was on sale, the Mercedes-AMG G63 6x6 was stupidly expensive. Punters were expected to stump up £380,000 for what was, in effect, a giant Tonka toy with little use in the real world.

Regardless, we all still wanted one, didn’t we? And if you fancy something similar for a more real-world figure, there’s just the vehicle for you on eBay right now.

It’s a Mercedes, it has plenty of ground clearance and it has six wheels. So it’s pretty much a G-Wag 6x6, right? Well, not quite. It’s based on an ML, for one thing, and it’s not a 6x6 - only four wheels (presumably the ones that were there originally) are driven. It’s very much a bargain-basement version of the maddest ever AMG, and while the elongated pick-up rear doesn’t look all that slick in places, we can’t help but admire the absurdity of the thing.

It’s listed as an ‘ML AMG’, but it isn’t - it’s powered by a 3.2-litre V6 rather than a rumbly V8. It does, however, have an AMG bodykit and six AMG wheels. It’ll even be reasonably inexpensive to run, since it’s been fitted with an LPG kit. Hello 60 pence per litre fuel.

Frustratingly, there’s a complete lack of detail in the advert about the conversion itself. For such a bespoke - and bonkers - project, ideally you’d want to know all about who did the work and how. And why. Perhaps with a little nudge some pictures of the process might be available from the buyer.

The price for all this? A rather strong £19,995.

Hat tip to Chris Pollitt!

It’s not a 4x4 because it has six wheels. It is a 6x4.

Not a Russian project? That’s more of a surprise.

This car/truck was spotted in Bulgaria! Here’s photos from a Bulgarian forum. Notice that the rollbar in the bed is missing and there is some sort of bumper in the cabin. Maybe it was built here?

EDIT: Also looking at those first two photos in the article, that’s some typically Bulgarian landscape.
