Can you imagine the fun you'd have scaring the living shit out of the blacked out landcruiser clan?

That vehicle screams out to dominate the fast lane bang on the speed limit just to wind the landcruisers up, they can flash their lights and tailgate as much as they like, id just sit there....grinning from ear to ear :D

Did they photoshop the rear wheels in? Looks like a teenagers wild imaginations.

Those must be Portal axles, probably from a Unimog or custom.

I see mercedes has not mentioned that 70% of G63's have had to have their engines replaced! Been a massive problem for them.

Could do with one of those around here in redneck country and scare the wits out of the locals and their big Ford pick-ups :D

They should have used the V12 Twin Turbo G65 engine then....

God I want one of these!

I think they are ugly but any vehicle that shouts "Get the F*%K out of my way Local "gets a thumbs up from me.
