Powertrain Analysis

The power unit is a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 with a peak output of 621 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque. The architecture is a large-displacement V configuration with forced induction on both banks, placing the engine at the top end of AMG’s G-class specification range.

Power delivery is managed by a seven-speed automatic transmission paired with a dual-range transfer case. The driveline uses a 6×6 layout, extending traction beyond a conventional three-axle off-road format and supporting the truck’s portal-axle hardware and locking differential setup.

The engine output figures place it above AMG’s 6×6 V8-based alternatives in raw torque and cylinder count. The combination of twin turbocharging, dual-range gearing, and locking differentials is calibrated for low-speed tractive force rather than high-rpm power delivery.

Chassis & Dynamics

The chassis includes portal axles and underbody plating, both of which are functional off-road hardware rather than cosmetic additions. The presence of locking differentials reinforces the mechanical emphasis on traction across uneven terrain and low-adhesion surfaces.

Brabus components expand the body with a carbon-fiber widebody kit. The exterior also includes a snorkel, which raises the intake path for deep-water and dust-prone use. The visual package adds width and mass to an already oversized platform.

Mechanical detailing includes a central tire inflation system. The cabin uses carbon-fiber accents and leather trim, while the feature set includes Harman Kardon audio and a rear-seat entertainment package.

Dimensions & Practicality

The vehicle is configured as a six-wheel pickup with pickup-bed packaging. The source content does not provide cargo-volume figures, seating capacity, towing capacity, or interior dimension measurements.

The 6×6 configuration and pickup-body format place practicality in a utility category, but the specification set shown here is centered on hardware, traction, and presentation rather than measured load or cabin space data.
