including the massive wheel and tire combination, the portal axles, and the larger fender flares. Unfortunately, the G500 4x4² doesn’t share the same 5. 5-liter biturbo V-8 front the G63 AMG 6x6, but rather resorts to an all-new engine: a 4. 0-liter biturbo V-8 that’s good for 422 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. Click ’Continue Reading’ for more about the Mercedes-Benz G 500 4x4². In comparison to the gargantuan G63 6x6, the G500 4x4² looks almost unaltered. It’s when the 4x4² and a conventional G-Wagen are side by side that the differences are blatant. The portal axles keep the suspension lift to a minimum while pushing the tires further towards the ground. Most of the body remains the same as a conventional G-Wagen, save for the larger fender fares and the light bar across the top of the windshield. Its ground clearance grows from 8. 26 inches to a whopping 17. 71 inches while its approach and departure angles increase from 36 and 27 degrees respectively to a trail-busting 52 and 54 degrees. Amazingly, the G500 4x4²’s tipping angle only increases by two degrees over the long-wheelbase G500 thanks to its portal axles and wider stance. Source: www.topspeed.com
