The Mercedes-AMG G 63 6x6 or Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 is an SUT manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. An SUT derivative of the six wheel drive Mercedes Geländewagen developed for the Australian Army from 2007 (see G-Class Military operators), at the time it was the company's largest offroad vehicle and second most expensive street-legal model after only the SLS AMG Electric Drive. It was manufactured from 2013 to 2015 by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria.

It combines the engine from the G63, a twin-turbo V8, with 6x6 portal axles, a pick-up version of the G-Class body, and a luxury interior. It was produced from 2013 to 2015, with production exceeding 100 vehicles.

The G63 AMG 6x6 features six-wheel drive and uses Mercedes-AMG's 5.5-liter M157 twin-turbo V8. It has a power output of 543 PS (399 kW; 536 hp) and 561 lb⋅ft (761 N⋅m) of torque. The G63 AMG 6x6 is fitted with Mercedes' 7G-tronic seven-speed automatic transmission; its transfer case can alter between a 0.87:1 high-range ratio for on-road driving and 2.16:1 low-range ratio for off-road conditions to all six wheels in a nominal 30:40:30 split. An extra shaft delivers power to the rearmost axle. The vehicle has five electronic differential locks, which can deliver 100% lockup of all six wheels, operated by three switches on the dashboard.

The G63 AMG 6x6 is 5,875 mm (231.3 in) long, 2,110 mm (83.1 in) wide, and 2,210 mm (87.0 in) tall, with 460 mm (18.1 in) of ground clearance and a fording depth of 1,000 mm (39.4 in). It has portal axles, similar to those fitted on Unimog vehicles. The vehicle is installed with 18 in (457 mm) beadlock wheels and 37 in (940 mm) tires, has a 4,196 mm (165.2 in) wheelbase (front axle to rearmost axle) and weighs 4,105 kg (9,050 lb). The G63 AMG 6x6 can deliver 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 7.8 seconds with a top speed limited to 100 mph (161 km/h).
