4x4²

Earlier this week, when we took a peek at the Mercedes Zetros, we know what you were thinking: “Nice ride, but do they offer something … maybe less conspicuous?”

Fortunately, the engineers at Mercedes-Benz were listening and proudly leaked the latest iteration of the G-wagon, the Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4².

Originally contracted as a military vehicle by the Shah of Iran, the Geländewagen — or G-wagon — is German for “housewives of New Jersey’s ride of choice.” The 4×4 squared is equally capable in the sands of Persia as it is in the sand traps of South Hampton.

With its boxy-but-good looks, the venerable G-wagon has always expressed utilitarian aloofness. This round, the G500 appears to be a mash-up of the steep raking lines of a Suzuki Samurai and the color palette of vintage Matchbox.

Under the hood, the 5-Liter V8 belches out 382hp, applying enough torque to wrap a city block around its axel. If the Zetros is the Imperial Star Destroyer, the G500 is Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon.

Zetros

The Zetros is the latest Mercedes-Benz rugged vehicle designed with disaster relief and military operations in mind. The platform is even used for fire trucks. But it didn’t take long for a visionary with subscription to Rob Report to see the true opportunity for this 6×6 wheel drive mastodon. (A 4×4 model is available. But if you’re going this far, why not go all the way?)

Powered with a 7.2-liter diesel inline six-cylinder engine, 900 pound-feet of torque distributes its 320 horsepower to all six wheels through three differentials.

After a long day of grinding up 80 percent grades and bashing axel deep through rushing streams, the wary captain can retire to his luxurious cabin quarters. Designed in partnership with Hartmann Spezialkarosserien, a high-end mobile home manufacturer, your command center is trimmed in rare woods and fine leather and is wired for the highlife, including two flat screen displays, Bose surround sound, internet and satellite communication.

What’s the price, you ask? We’re gonna cut you off right there. If you’ve gotta ask, get back in your puny Hummer. You can’t afford it.
