Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4² Teased Before Geneva

The off-roader was spied testing for the first time back in November in the G63 specification and shortly after that Mercedes-Benz confirmed the model.

Now, the first official revealing image with the car has been revealed and as you would expect it's basically a four-wheel version of its six-wheeled sibling. As a consequence, it gets a considerably increased ground clearance, larger wheels and a slightly modified body compared to the regular model.

Technical details are not available at this point but since it’s based on the G500 it means power comes from a V8 5.5-liter engine developing 387 HP (285 kW) and 530 Nm (391 lb-ft) of torque to all four wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission. It should be mentioned the 6x6 variant is available exclusively in the G63 AMG guise.

Mercedes-Benz says more details will be released in the days to come, with a public debut likely set for the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
